first flight as a hindu
airline food sucks.
i usually make an effort to avoid it.
but a day-flight from NY to israel means many hours without food, so gidon gave me a great tip – tell the airline you are hindu.
without giving it much thought i converted to hinduism (by changing my profile on continental’s website).
several advantages to flying as a hindu:
- the food sucks less
- you get the tray before all the other passengers
- if you eat quickly (which i do) you can return the tray without waiting for the cart to come by..
i don’t know what the ethicist would say (i don’t intend to ask), but i assume it is a minor offense


next time try to say you are vegan. it will be hard for them to mess up fruit. but then again, you might stay hungry…
