alcohol for breakfast when flying

[filthiestfis]

Wht kind of alcohol is suitable to have for breakfast? I am flying in a couple of days, having typical breakfast of sausage, egg, bacon etc but dont think that beer or wine is quite suitable at 8am, but I always like to numb myself with a drink, what would be suitable?

A mixture of Champagne and orange juice. Think it's called a mimosa. Very light and 'breakfasty'.

Bloody Mary

[filthiestfis]

If only Monarch Airlines would make a Mimosa for me ;-) I think that bloody mary is a good choice!

Isn't champagne and orange juice called a Bucks Fizz?

[paulos66]

Tomatos fit in well with breakfast I think

not matter what time of day or night it is, always gin and tonic on a flight for me!

I would say Bucks Fizz as well (Champagne and Orange juice), it is light and breakfasty and won't make your head "go" first thing in the morning!

anmything is fine when you are flying, at any time of day, at manchester airport we usually have their cooked full english and then go to the bar in the middle and get a good seat to watch the planes and the boards and just relax and have a few drinks, it sets you up nicely for any potential delays then!

Agree with paulos - Vodka and tomato juice, slice of lemon, ice. Gives you an appetite, taste goes well with the fry-up, and won't bag you up like fizzy drinks can.

it depends on the l;ength of the flight but, if it's a long one, then don't drink any alcohol. you'll be doing yourself no favours.

O night becomes day and vice versa when I am flying.
Cant be of any help apart from empathising with ya -I have a flight on Sunday and am already preparing my drink (in my head) for just getting to Prestwick.
I usually stick to wine as spirits (which I dont normally drink) would knock me senseless on top of the diazepam (joking - honestly -finger crossed behind back)

Rum and Black for the flight to Zurich,and a large scotch for the approach into Madeira.
Both landings are really tricky,so us pilots swear by them.
Have a good flight!
