Hi all
Just wanted to do a separate thread to give you my experiences of flying to Los Angeles recently. I actually flew from Manchester to Heathrow and then to LA so the total time gone was 18 hours so a long time away from a kettle and beloved blender!
I like my packs warm and with coffee in the caramel ones so I went to Starbucks and got a small coffee in a large cup and got it topped up with water. I then used my mini frother to get the lumps out. I have to say this wasn't ideal but it was OK. On the big plane I made two shakes up in the galley. I did this about an hour after they had served dinner so they were quiet then. During the dinner, I concentrated on the film! In the galley I made them up in a teapot using the frother. This worked really well because the spout acted as a sieve! It was really interesting talking to the stewardess because she told me that the crew never eat the plane food. In fact they had fresh strawberries and those to go salads! I also found out Jordan went 14 hours without eating a single thing on one flight! Anyway I managed! Oh I also had a bar as well on the flight.
Anyways I was there for 10 days and one of the first things I did was buy a US kettle and blender. It cost me £25 and was really worth it.
On the way back I slept on the plane so didn't need to make anything up and had a bar when I woke up.
I've made it sound straightforward and obviously it was tough tackling the emotional eating but I did take pleasure in buying new clothes!
Hope this helps anyone who might be flying this Summer.
