fancy fresh flying

A common annoyance while flying for more than twelve hours is the lack of really fresh fruit or chocolates on board, no matter which cabin we are talking about. I thought first or executive class would be a safe place regarding this matter, but usually that's not the case. 

Before going to the airport I believe it helps a whole lot having a generous plate of fruit. In this case, taking off from Australia, a nice ripe mango, starfruit, kiwi, peach, blueberries and raspberries suggested kind of a "flying concorde" feel.

Kakawa chocolates should be mandatory in all flights leaving from Sydney, but we all know that's nothing but a terrestrial utopia. So, even if it's no more than a small box of four, the trip can be slightly different. For this particular route it was a pair of banana caramel with milk chocolate and two more strawberry with white chocolate ones.

Finally, even if it's not literally a requirement, some useful -and fancy- gift can make the experience far less painful. Something from Tiffany's, for example, can easily make the trick, like this delayed birthday present coming from the adorable Ronphen gang. Perfecto!
