Up, Up and Away!

First flight from SFO to Abu Dhabi on Etihad airways… International flights are much nicer than domestics. The stewardesses are beatific and exotic. My seat had a blanket, sleep kit and headphones waiting for me. Etihad gives gift bags to all of the children on board the plane. The movie system has near first run movies available at no charge.

Bagel and his seat partner!

Soon after take off they brought around a lunch menu.

Chicken Kafta… Yummi

And they handed out hot towels!

First movie “Eddie the Eagle” been wanting to see this silly but inspiring film.

Chicken Kofta best meal I’ve ever had on an airplane.

Healthy wine pour too!

They even came by and offered tiny Hagen Daz half pints. But it was strawberry, not one of my favorites, so I declined.

My seat partner Raygu.

Next movies Batman vs Superman and The Revenant. During the Revenant the flight crew came by with Turkey and Hummus sandwiches.

Wow there is plenty of time for movie watching on a flight this long. Next I watched JOY the Joy Mangano Story.

The dinner meal included a traditional middle eastern Kit Kat bar.
