Ha! the fond memories of the LOS route, where I saw, with my very own set of eyes, goat meat being prepared by a passenger.....

My vote for most glamorous route!

That's a great story!

Best I can offer is my uncle's account of a Saudia flight in the 70s between Sudan and Saudia Arabia (I think), on which he'd been arbitrarily told that his (paid) first class seat was unavailable and that he had been reseated in economy. Halfway through the flight he looked up to see one of the flight attendants literally sprinting down the aisle towards the back of the plane with a panicked expression on her face - turning around he saw a Bedouin squatting by the rearward toilets, poised to light his gas stove which he had set up on the carpet, complete with billy full of water for tea!

I know airline tea is disgusting but that's taking it a bit far. Note to VP Catering: what premium brand teas do we stock on TaromGlam?
