FILM
I was supposed to leave Yemen yesterday 🇾🇪 | S8, EP54
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This Season 8 episode finds the Itchy Boots journey in Yemen, where a cancelled Yemenia Airways flight delays the planned departure. Rather than describing a new riding route, the available information centres on the uncertainty of leaving and the people supported by Mona Relief.
About this film
Part of Season 8, “To the Far East,” this episode follows a disruption in the wider motorcycle-travel journey: the flight intended to take the traveller out of Yemen has been cancelled. The title’s reference to leaving the previous day sets up a story about a departure that has not happened as expected. The description offers no further detail about a revised travel plan, so the episode is best approached as a travel interlude rather than a route account. Its place in the ongoing series gives the cancellation a journey context, while the information supplied does not establish what riding, if any, takes place in this instalment.
The journey
Yemen is the only specific location identified, and the cancelled flight is the central travel complication. The description says the flight was with Yemenia Airways and conveys the creator’s impression that cancellations may be common with the airline. It does not name an airport, a next destination, a road route or any riding conditions. For viewers following the series, the episode documents a pause in the progression of the journey: leaving Yemen was planned, but the flight cancellation means that departure is delayed. The available account does not say how long the delay lasts or how it is resolved.
People, places and moments
The description also introduces Mona Relief, a charity in Yemen run by Fatik Alrodaini. It credits Alrodaini’s work with helping hundreds of families and children in need. This gives the episode a humanitarian point of context alongside its travel-logistics story, without specifying any particular visit, meeting or aid activity in the film. The most useful expectation is therefore a Yemen-set episode shaped by an interrupted departure, with a mention of local relief work rather than a detailed account of the country or a documented motorcycle route.
What to expect
- A cancelled Yemenia Airways flight and a delayed departure from Yemen.
- An episode within Season 8’s “To the Far East” journey.
- Context about Mona Relief, Fatik Alrodaini and support for families and children in Yemen.
