I can't seem to get those quotes quite right! Oh well, forgive me.

A couple of things that happened to my husband on internal flights on Saudia.

A man boarded that plane with a falcon. Hooded and leashed of course.

In the early 80's two men had a bulkhead seat and proceeded to use a small butane stove to make tea. My husband said that he had never seen the FA move so fast on that one.

After everyone had boarded, doors closed and plane about to pull out the anouncement was made as to the flights destination. A man actually got up to say he was on the wrong flight. They did open the doors to let him off.


And the ever occuring "incident" on flights going into Saudi on Saudia. As alcohol is banned in Saudi Arabia and Saudia didn't serve it on flights many people would bring their own onto the plane. This was consumed discreetly during the flight. The only real problem happened when landing. What to do with the bottles??? Most people stuffed them into the seats but many were put under the seat. When the plane lands you could quite often hear the "clink, clink, clink" of bottles rolling around. On one flight a wine bottle went rolling down the aisle while everybody sat there as if nothing happened including the FA's!
