Flying from Dushanbe to Khorog

Again it's either 22 hours car or one hour flight. This time the flight is kind of famous. On one hand for the fact that it was the only flight on which Aeroflot paid danger money to the pilots as it passes between 7000m mountains. On the other hand for the fact that there is only one flight a day with just 15 seats and typically about 100 people trying to get a seat... . Obviously there is no system to book these seats, the only way to get one is go to the airport the day before the flight, wait, wait, wait and then fight. It was quite a mission (about 5hours) but eventually we got a ticket. The flight is absolutly amazing. You really fly between these 6000 and 7000m mountains covered with snow and glaciers. Sometimes it feels like you can almost touch the snow...
