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 8 ай бұрын

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!

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 :( Breakfast felt a little weird to me as we landed in Washington in the afternoon haha

@@GenkisTravels Between us, I didn't know the difference either. But upon contact with metal, some kind of oxidation should occur. Anyway, for the price of a first class ticket, everything should be as it should be. Simply TOP.
