There’s nothing like heading up in the skies to work up an appetite. Check out the airline’s menu before you fly so you can decide if you need to bring any extras. See photographs taken by fellow flyers of meals they’ve been served and read reviews at AirlineMeals.net.
Moby Dick, War and Peace, Leaves of Grass… Do you need to pack a weighty tome or will the in-flight magazine keep you happily occupied for the duration of the flight? Air Southwest’s magazine, Enjoy Southwest, is published quarterly. The magazine has the lowdown on everything to see and do in region, including information on hotels, cafés and tourist attractions.
