Feathered Flyers’ First-Class Flights

When it comes to courage and power in the Middle East, the falcon holds the winged crown. This isn’t your everyday bird; it’s a national emblem and the star of a sport called falconry that’s been soaring through the region’s history for ages. Snapped over the Persian Gulf, the photo shows these feathered aristocrats not just flying but flying first class.

Now, about those perks. Who knew a bird of prey could pack a passport? Yes, these raptors of privilege actually jet set on commercial planes, complete with a cabin crew catering to their every chirp. Imagine their inflight entertainment choices.
