Comments on: Carbon Debit’s roving reportage on Airline food and lounges http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/12/27/carbon-debits-roving-reportage-on-airline-food-and-lounges/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

One never knows, I once stayed at a nice hotel chain to be greeted by an extremely stained chair in our room! Hi Carbon Debit-Hehe thanks for clearing that up.

Sorry! SydneyGal – I’m afraid that’s my poor photography technique, not a dirty chair :lol: The chair has woven-in patterns and they ended up coming out as if they were very dirty. Sorry!

Yes I can imagine the days of cockpit visits are well and truly over! :( Hi SydneyGal-Haha yes I've seen it. I love seeing what they have although economy is usually a few splodges of colour. I can't sleep on flights either as I am a light sleeper. Then again I can't sleep anywhere without earplugs so I'm not surprised! Haha yes at first I thought it was the pattern on the fabric but on closer inspection... Hi Maria-Yes she did a great job indeed! :D Hi Blond Duck-I have to agree, I flew some US airlines interstate and the food, or lack of it was terrible! The best meal was a boxed cereal and juice! :( Hi Cappucino-Have you tried ordering a special meal? I usually do. They usually arrive first and can be better than a regular meal :) Hi snookydoodle-she's definitely a great friend :) Yes it's good to know that there are some decent meals being served at high altitude!

That's getting a tad obsessive. Business class Melbourne to Heathrow - oh please that would be nice. But what would be even nicer would be your friend's ability to just eat a meal on the plane and then sleep for hours! I can never sleep on planes and Australia is so far from anywhere! Is it just me or does that chair in the Singapore lounge look really really dirty?
