After taking off from D.C., we settles into our seats as drinks and snacks were being passed by a very friendly South African Airways crew. They must have knew I was coming because this amazing airline stocks Captain Morgan for its rum of choice. And if that isn't wonderful enough, They are all FREE!!!
