Winning a game in maths time that involved adding the numbers on cards.

Why are you proud if it?

The speaker blared out "if you need anything just press the button on the side of your armrest and the cheetah will dart to your assistance.

I started to feel particularly dehydrated so I pressed the button and a split second later the cheetah was there. I asked for a glass of milk and he raced off again. After about half a minute later a spider monkey came walking up the isle with a glass of milk , he told me they got it straight from the cow.

The glass of milk was very refreshing and because of that I thought "this is going to be a great flight".

I also had a foot massage from the giraffe , that was nice. Then I asked for the whale music and the legwarmers and they brought out an actual fricking whale As the cats wandered towards me they started brushing against my legs and the whale music started playing as I dozed off.

"Eww yuck," I woke up to four Labradors licking me so I would wake up because we had landed.
