I can’t get onto a plane unless suitably mellow and I won’t mix medication and alcohol so at least two glasses of wine in the lounge, I’ll try for a little more if short haul as it’s a smaller plane and no pre take off offer.
On the plane, one or two pre dinner drinks (plus pre flight champagne on long haul) then maybe the same again with dinner, I’ll generally have a final glass after dinner. Always wine, never spirits.
our first first was my only inflight hangover, Jesus that was bad. We had an amazing crew who felt we should generously sample the wine list! The drive from Seattle to Whistler was a painful one, thankfully I was not the driver.
I’ll be in the lounge at 5am this weekend necking wine, if you see me please don’t judge, I love flying and traveling but claustrophobic and it’s the only way I can do it! Our longest flight was 13 hours and I did top up around the midway point which is unusual for me but if it works it works .
All of our our flights are leisure, so there’s no need to be well behaved beyond social politeness.
