We should all be able to take packed lunches - those up the front in some wicker basket thing with champagne & glasses - those in the back Tupperware and them boxes of drinks with a straw on the side.
Thing is - the stink.
I flew some years ago now (prolly late '90's) from HK to Qingdao - we chose Dragon Air (sensible at the time given the alternatives) but it was a one class flight and checking in late for some reason - I was stuck between a girl who opened her dried cuttlefish from the moment the wheels were off the ground and on t'other side an old gentleman who hercked up snot and spat it onto the floor of th' 'plane every 5 minutes - though the stewardess bought him hand fulls of tissues he appeared to not understand how to use them. Looking forward to the next 3 hours I motioned to the stewardess that I needed a medicinal glass of wine - the kindly lass bought me a full bottle which helped put me into a thankful sleep.
