"Two men arrested on suspicion of endangerment of an aircraft".

That's usually some drunk trying to open the emergency doors.

QuoteA Pakistan International Airlines spokesman Zufiqar Bijarani told CNN: "We have been told there may have been a bomb threat." But he did not say if he had anything to confirm or deny this.

Yes, given current security restrictions, I think saying it is all they're likely to have done.

Do PIA planes even have a drinks trolley?
I dunno, but American Airlines charging for alcoholic drinks with meals on transatlantic flights are worse than Hitler.

Well American Airlines is in the midst of its re-design so who knows? Though prior to that I'm not sure a sensible person would ever fly American transatlantic.

They had pretty good prices IIRC...or at least they did back in the 90s.

The recently have had some good prices--their quality really sucks though. Maybe it is a supply and demand thing?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
