Thank You, Ramzi!

As I boarded the plane to leave Lebanon my boarding pass was confiscated and I was placed in first class. Captain Roger Yasmeen came to my seat and told me to be sure and let someone know if there was anything I needed. He informed me I could come to the cockpit and take pictures if I wanted! It was a fabulous trip.

@espyetta WAY!! Middle East! Even in coach they gave me a printed menu to choose my meal! the service was great all over the plane!

Wow... What a great treat... I would give up first class in exchange to go in the cockpit and take pictures!!! What airline? Nowadays it's unusual!

@anazad511 It is Middle East and it was a very special end to my trip for me! The pilot and co-pilot were so friendly as was everyone on the plane!

Very cool! I would love to be invited to the cockpit! What a great experience :)

@agima Thanks so much, Brendan! It is a very cramped space so I was pleased by the outcome.

[katy]

@silverlight It was exciting for the opportunity!

[katy]

@digitalrn I sure did, Rick! They went over the top in my opinion!

[katy]

@deburahiru It was a little intimidating to be singled out and yet it was a fabulous experience!

[PasadenaRose]

What a first class experience you had, in every sense of the word.
Sounds like you have connections, lady. ;-)

[katy]

@pasadenarose LOL! I have NO connections! I just have friends that do apparently! It was a life changing experience, believe me, to be able to visit @ruthmouch. She is a wonderful person and great hostess. She is also a VERY dear friend!
