A Passage to India!

The Hook family Christmas is going to be rather different this year, as we are preparing to spend a week in Delhi! Michael and I had a very interesting time purchasing the tickets today, using a variety of search engines to optimize the price and layover times.

We ended up on Etihad, codeshared with Alitalia. Contrary to normal practice, where you choose the honorific from a short list (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms) or longer for British airlines (they include Master), we had the following choices:

Mr
Mrs
Ms
Miss
Doctor
Professor
HE
HH
HRH
Sheikh
Sheikha

Another point of interest was the menu selection. I was prepared for the vegetarian, low-sodium, low-fat options that you usually get. Etihad offers SEVEN DIFFERENT vegetarian meals! Plus, of course, the usual offerings of diabetic/low-sodium/low-fat/and so on. Oh, and in case you care, all the meals are halal.

This is DEFINITELY going to be an interesting experience.

Love,

Alexandra
