    I deceided one day to make a long haul flight completely without alcohol. I am a passionate wine drinker so it was not really that easy. I flew 11 hours and drank 2,5 litres of sparkling water. I felt much better on arrival. Fresher. Jetlag didn't hit me that hard. Since that flight i never had alcohol on board.

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  Před 8 měsíci

      That makes sense. I usually do that with shorter flights, but long-haul flights, alcohol makes me sleepy. But I do take hydrating powder.

    A great video, thanks. Your take off roll seemed shorter than normal for being so heavy for the long flight. You are a man after my own heart as I enjoyed the privilege of having a high tolerance for alcohol but being a scotch drinker I had to be careful when mixing champagne and/or wine with it so most of my flights were with scotch and after-dinner drinks. I think I would have forced myself to have had breakfast rather than just ice cream for my final meal! It was a real treat to see the selection of food offered to you especially the caviar which I dearly love. I have not had the opportunity to fly Etihad or even Emirates but I keep hoping some day to enjoy that luxury. Again, thanks for sharing your travel experiences and being young traveling the world is truly wonderful! Take care and stay safe!

    • @GenkisTravels
      @GenkisTravels  Před 8 měsíci

      Unfortunately my high tolerance is quickly disappearing, in a Virgin Atlantic flight (that I will post later), I mixed too many things and got sick :(

      I thought that was weird too initially and I looked it up. It’s a mother of pearl spoon, they use them so the taste of the caviar doesn’t get affected.
      I’ve tried it with a metal spoon (on another airline), it tasted the same. Lol
