Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: July 09, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onJuly 10, 2017November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

I’ve escaped the Los Angeles heat and am basking in the cool summer rains of Germany.

(sigh of contentment)

Oddly, I’ve encountered horrible jet lag the last couple days — this despite flying nonstop to Europe in the evening from Los Angeles: the primary antidote to avoiding jet lag. I’m not sure how long I’ll be in Europe, but I won’t rush home.

We’ve seen the dominos begin to fall on the electronics ban over the last week: Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, Turkish, Saudia and Royal Jordanian are no longer subject to the ban. That just leaves Kuwait Airways and EgyptAir.

Stay cool this week: it’s going to be another hot one. I told Heidi she could choose between Cape Town, Buenos Aires, or Melbourne to summer at next year! My body is not built for hot weather!

Judging from the picture above, it looks like a cyclone ripped through the galley. But it was actually just a crazy passenger. Read the lurid details.


Dinner: Aegean Economy Outshines Lufthansa First Class

Could an economy class dinner on a flight under two hours really be better than dinner on an 11hr flight in Lufthansa First Class? Surprisingly, the answer is yes.
