Hmm...not sure I'd be that keen to claim 'loyalty points' for the Sahara at KKIA as it doesn't feature too highly on my list of preferred holiday destinations....
Waiting in the foyer for the engineer and navigator to turn up (as usual...), one of the recently arrived French Air Force Transall crew came up to me and asked "Where is ze bar?"....
The look of total shock on his face when I told him that not only was Saudi dry, but it was also a serious offence for anyone to be caught with alcohol was quite remarkable!
