Marrakesh to LHR.



Excellent flight back from RAK. Managed to nab 1A and 1C in 12 rows of CE. (14 on the way out). Flight was made more complicated for the crew because the LGW service was cancelled so they tried to get as many people in this one which meant they were eight meals short. Brilliant crew though who worked really hard and kept me topped up with alcohol such that Mrs Salad had to drive home!

The lamb was ok, a little overdone but not too bad. Mrs S’s vegetarian curry was actually the nicer of the two though it’s no secret that curry dishes are the easiest to get right in the air.

The RAK airport experience I was quite impressed with. The Fast Track security and immigration was very swift and having been led to believe that in the Oasis lounge we’d be lucky to get a stale sandwich, I was quite impressed with the range of food on offer. Approximately 12 ft from the departure gate too so all in all it was perfect.
