One of the cabin crew just came down the plane to my row with a packaged meal in her hands and was asking the passengers in A and C if they had ordered a Muslim meal. This managed to confuse both them and me as I’d ordered a Kosher breakfast! A quick glance at the package in her hands confirmed it was Kosher, not Muslim. Don’t think I’ve had a Muslim breakfast, maybe one for next week.

The crew member was checking to see if it was OK for them to open the meal which is fine by me, saves having to manage the substantial stack of packaging that these meals come in.

Ten minutes late and we are pushing back. It’s a short taxi here in Otopeni so take off is imminent. Next stop LHR, again
