The last time was with British Airways ....the flight had come from Damascus, and as we took off from Beirut the stewardess had just come from the flight deck as the pilot rotated! Had to catch the stewardess and pull her to the seat beside me. Chateau musar is a lovely full bodied red from the Bekka valley. Lot of good wine from there

I sure hope Lebanon and MEA can survive! The people are so friendly and quite frankly physically attractive with amazing culture and cuisine. The skyline of Beirut is breathtaking and just as impressive as Dubai but in it's own way. Of course it is not as tall but the skyscrapers seem to go on forever (like Sao Paulo). It makes me so angry when I see how the Juice (the people who bombed the airport) are trying to destroy this country. I have no doubt the Juice were behind the massive explosion in the port that destroyed so much property and just added to the economic crisis. Ultimately the Juice want to invade and occupy this amazing Middle East country with it's Cedar Forests, Snow capped mountains and sandy beaches. Lebanon seems to have it all! The service on MEA looked amazing especially the food! Lebanon has some of the best food in the world and it was well represented. Limoncello liqueur is one of my favorite liqueurs and I definitely would have gone for that tasty drink. Would love to have tried the Lebanese wine also. The crew were so friendly and attractive and obviously took great pride in their airline and their beautiful country and it's capital Beirut which is truly the Paris of the Middle East!

Amazing culture indeed. I was invited to Lebanon in 2003 by a friend I met online. After the 3rd time she asked me I decided to take up her offer. I was greeted at the airport with a bouquet of flowers. First time any woman ever gave me flowers. And it's not my funeral. When I was taken out to eat I was not allowed to pay. That is their culture. They take care of their guests. And the food they prepared at home like the tabbouleh is just delicious. Sad to see how the currency has depreciated, and the explosion at the seaport affected so many lives. And my friend speaks Arabic, English, and French. In the US some people barely speak their only language well!
