I told him non, so and asked him what he thought I was, so he said Jewish, so I said yes, so he said O I never met a Jew before.

For the return flights I took a Wizz Air flight from TLV-BUD, They charge for everything besides using the restrooms, but it got me to my destination so I can't complain.

There isn't any direct flights from BUD-NYC so I took BUD-VIE-JFK. From BUD the plane looked like this, and of course the fake J class, but I got priority service on the bus ride!

Epic trip report!
Not surprised Wizz Air doesn't charge for the restroom😄

When they were going through with the water and wine I asked if the water cost money so he said yes, so I asked if the bathroom also cost money so this Hungarian said he wouldn't recommend drinking the toilet water but I can do what I want! So I'm like no sir not if I can drink the toilet water! If I can use the restrooms.
