It was November 2011 and I was traveling from Beirut to Frankfurt. Since business class was simply the same economy class seat with a blocked middle, I opted to remain in economy class. Dinner was served shortly after takeoff.
I was seated in the bulkhead row of economy class and beyond the usual pasta or chicken choices, a FA offered me fish. Now fish in economy class can be quite a bad gamble (I’m thinking about you South African Airways…), but I figured if anyone could pull it off it might be Lufthansa out of Beirut.
When the tray was handed to me, it was clear that I had been given a seafood special meal. Instead of cake there was fruit and instead of green salad there was a tuna fish salad. Also included was a nice baguette along with the fish main course.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
