Dubai: Most people keep photos, videos and souvenirs to cherish memories of their trips. But Indian expat Sahad Sattar has been keeping airline boarding passes instead, even after the air miles are credited.
Hailing from the south Indian state of Kerala, Sahad, 45, started this hobby since his first flight on the now-defunct East-West Airline from Calicut to Bombay (Mumbai) and the Air India flight from Bombay to Dubai in September 1995. A travel manager in Dubai, Sahad has collected the boarding passes of all of his 251 flights to over 20 countries on 30 airlines. He has a total collection of over 500 boarding passes of his entire family of eight.
