I had a similar experience coming out of Jeddah after my first Saudi stint in early 80,s on a DC10. We were asked before take off what we would like to drink when we had cleared Saudi airspace, and I ordered a G&T. After take-off and clearance of said airspace, a very large G&T arrived, and when I queried this, I was told by the Tartan clad stewardess " WE always serve double + when leaving the Kingdom". A very happy Mr Mac ensued, along with the rest of the cabin on this Christmas Eve flight.
