Ok I am back in London now, after a fantastic trip to the US. I flew British Airways for my trip and it was unexpectedly nice. I say unexpectedly because most airlines are known for frequent delays, unfriendly staff and lost baggage these days. British Airways was nothing but absolute delight for most of their services.
Being a Muslim I had requested special meals for my flights, these are referred to as “Moslem Meals”. On my flight from Heathrow to Dulles Washington DC, the meal was Chicken Biryani with some very nice dessert, it was Ras Malai perhaps but I can’t remember exactly. The best thing about special meals is that you get served first and you don’t have to worry about the ingredients. So if you are allergic to some foods or just avoiding some because of your religious beliefs, it is the way to go. The meals on my return flight to Heathrow was equally interesting, it was rice with some Kail and fish. A fine looking small bottle of extra virgin olive oil with lime was included as dressing for the salad. The dessert was somewhat disappointing this time – it was a piece of Barfee (a sweet cube made from milk, gram flour and cheese I guess).
For those of us who can’t quench their thirst, the juices kept flowing with options from a range of orange, apple, cranberry to sodas of all kind. Alcohol is also served, its not my cup of tea however so no comments about it. I prefer orange juice with a tinge of lemonade, and I do that in-flight my mixing my cup of orange juice with a can of lime soda….ammm its very nice, maybe you should give it a try someday.
