Liquor on the plane seems a great idea at the time but BOY do I suffer afterwards. A couple of beers and thats me zzzzz zzzz into the sky! Any more could lead to other things a 35,000 feet!

Hi flowers, been a while. V bizie.

Come Fab, it has to be BIG BEERS whilst up in the air to take the sting out of flying. That ‘ one little thing’ you mention he forgot - how do you know it was little? :0) My flight tales are not for a clean blog like this! Glad I wasn’t caught :0)

Champagne and strawberries is the answer here! Apparently the alcohol increases the anti oxidant effect of the strawberries. Don’t know how many bottles of champagne you need to a bowl of strawbwerries, but I don’t suppose I’d care after the first bottle!

I like your style Lizzie and wha a great excuse.

Bring on the Bolli, tatti or verve I say. What oh!

Nah, my local is calling for a couple of pints of Guinness extra cold. Wonder when they’ll serve draught ale at 35,000?

I was flying out of Delhi about 10 years ago when I heard a commotion in the kitchen area so I went to see if I could help. It turned out there was a big cockroach there. I caught it and put it in a box much to their appreciation. When we were coming in to land at Heathrow they put two bottles of Lanson in my carry on bag as a thank you. They figured I liked it seeing as how I’d guzzled it all the way.

Myself and, I believe, Gary drank them from pint glasses a few days later.

Cockroaches - could be a delicacy in some countries. Who said airline food was bad, those air india toilets are disgusting,I’m told.

Once I had a few drinks before flying from Honolulu to New York (Newark) on the non-stop. I had a first class ticket and had a few more drinks when we started to fly. The flight was so long I actually got a hangover before I reached NY. Learned a lesson that day.

Yes, don’t stop drinking until you land.

So thats what a non stop flight is!

I always like to have a few pre-flight, during flight and immediately upon landing.

Why?

Well the air hostesses clearly find my razor-sharp wit appealling- and nothing gets a woman ‘well oiled’ quicker than a man who is also ‘well oiled’.

Trust me it works.

Plus the customs at JFK really appreciate your hilarious one-liners and willl often reward this by holding up entry to the states by 6 or 7 hours.

I tried the “DONT TOUCH THAT BAG IT’LL GO OFF” within ear shot of cabin crew as I was evacuated from the plane. People just dont get humour do they?

Of your last posts, this topic is the most interesting… for me. Greetings, Mariana Cuentos.

Or the ever popular

‘did you pack your bags yourself’

which I got asked on my first ever flight- to a stag do in Dublin.

My repsonse- as I was well oiled

‘no that little colombian bloke asked me to take them through for him’

. How we laughed as they proceeded to unpack and repack everything.

Those good old ‘ provisonal IRA’ gags.

Amazed you pulled of the Columbian gag AT the airport.

I was amazed he got the flight, he doesn’t have a strong record there on Dublin and flights, missed a few has our Gary. Still Aer Lingus’ loss is Euston Sauna and Steams gain.

Once went to Munich with a collegue and was upgraded to 1st class leaving said Brand and Comms manager in Business. I did the honourable thing and let a couple sit together and moved back to Business to have a chat. Said colleague then proceeded to read a book for the whole of the trip
