Kuwait Airlines has some great deals NYC > LHR for $750. Has anyone flown Kuwaiti Airlines? Is it safe?

Thanks, for an American/British citizen should be fine?

Sure, why not.

Though, I do caution against falling asleep and inadvertently continuing on to Kuwait.

Happened to someone I know on a trip JFK-ATH. He fell asleep and the plane continued to DAM. He had to hide under a seat until it took off again and he ended up in BKK... long story

I know that guy! And when they landed at BKK, he pulled the emergency exit door and slid down the inflatable raft. He went flying through the air and landed on the elephant of the king of Thailand during his coronation ceremony and was accidentally sworn in as Crown Prince!

I didn't realize you were referencing a real story, just thought you were being silly, so I did a "yes and" (first rule of good improvisational comedy) and took your story over the top.

Then I googled and discovered this is some Artscroll story that has been around for a while.

I was actually referencing a Shmuel Kuda tape I used to listen to as a kid...
