haha, I don't know, it's been on for quite a while, and on flights from CDG. With some attendants you have to ask, with others they offer it straight away. You can always spot the opened bottle on the tray
I usually ask for champagne for apero, white wine for the starter and red for the main course and they always give them to me :) |
Well, if you're going to order your wine in the correct order, of course Air France will offer a great service.
Oenophiles rule, d'accord. |  |

not quite the flight itself but at Knock airport I arrived with my elderly (Irish) dad.
Dad was fumbling to try and find his passport at immigration. The officer asked 'are you Irish?'. 'I am' said Dad , 'well, come on in then' said the officer.
Only in Ireland [Post edited 16 Sep 22:12]

Been privileged to fly mostly business and first class during my career.
1. Qatar Airways - Qsuite is fantastic and a real experience.
2. First class BA in the mid 90’s was untouchable.
3. Singapore Airlines - first class is just luxury.
4. Pleasant surprise -EVA Airways business. |  | | |

Leaving Saudi in 1974 to go home for Christmas and my girlfriend after months of working in the desert...7 day week, all daylight hours, no drink, women etc. How simply fabulous to see the British Airways VC10 waiting for me. It arrived in Dhahran from the Emirates and had already been drunk dry by oil workers, returning home like I was. The flight was fabulous, smooth with clear visibility all the way and the inebriated passengers were a hoot, sang loudly and had a whip- round for the driver. Huge cheers and applause when we landed. Cabin crew were great. |
Ha ha those were the days.... remember being piped aboard theBritish Caledonian flights in the mid 80s from Saudi
When out there as a family contract we got 1 flight a year home... via Saudia, so what we use to do was take the money and try and get a deal with cheaper airlines to get 2 flights home
We got a deal with Kenya Airways via Bahrain.... so Saudia hop to Bahrain... and onto the flight... packed... and we were the... hmmm let's say Europeans on the flight
What a great flight treated like royalty... we had ladies coming up and braided our girls hair... everyone had their own food.. and drink... and we were fed all night
The captain, who was German came back and took the girls to the cockpit... those were the days... in fact the 6 hour flight we only saw our girls for take off and landing
On approach to landing the passengers broke out into some sort of prayer/chant... it was absolutely spine chilling and gorgeous...
Still today 30 years later my 2 oldest daughters talk about that flight.. that must be a yard stick of a good flight [Post edited 17 Sep 11:04]

Was on a flight to São Paulo once, and had a great time watching this fella kick off with the stewards about cleaning up my vomit.
I’d been on the piss all day and ate too much shellfish but slipped the steward a few quid to swap seats. [Post edited 17 Sep 13:31]

Not entirely sticking to the brief but I remember a flight back from Venice, there was a very attractive lady on board wearing a nice fitted ladies' raincoat, high heels, but it was not obvious whether she was wearing much or anything underneath!
Kept thinking whoever was meeting her off the plane was a very lucky man/woman/human. |  |

Cork has to be one of the best airports in the world
Everytime I’ve been there there’s been no sod there , it’s great |
If I was in charge of marketing Cork airport my slogan would be "from the car to the bar in 10 minutes"
Shannon is probably only still going as it (allegedly) got a bunch of cash to be a designated Shuttle alternate airfield. That or the rendition flights. |  | | |

1999. My mate and his work colleague both werent happy at work and planned a trip around Australia for a couple of months.
I was in an awful relationship that was going nowhere fast and also my work situation wasn't the best, so i tagged along too.
Theory - get away from your problems, by getting as far away on the planet as you can, to take stock and make some memories along the way.
Anyhow started in Perth and then to Ayers Rock, before travelling down the eastern side from Cairns to Sydney via all along the way.
The journey as i remember from Alice Springs to Ayers Rock was basically a pop pop flying machine.
There was an inflight "meal" well snack. At the time, i was vegetarian, more to do with my ex than any great moral judgement, so had ticked the relevant box on the pre flight forms to fill in.
So the "meal" for the meat eaters was a cake and the "carrot crunchers" like myself, well we got an apple !!!!!!
Wasn't long before my ex was long gone and Big Mac's here we come, were there for me !!!! [Post edited 18 Sep 0:55]

In my early 20s I flew to Sri Lanka via Norway on an overnight flight and having only really flown short-haul before, was amazed to discover that beers were complimentary. Proceeded to spend the full 10 hours on the pish, ordering 2 and then 4 beers at a time while the rest of my family and the plane slept. By the time we were ready to land, the air hostess said she'd run out of cold cans, bringing me a glass bottle instead. Going through Sri Lankan customs at 6am local time absolutely tanked up was an experience - my old man was not impressed. |  | | |

Flew business class long haul for the first time six months ago going on holiday to the Dominican Republic flying with Discover Airlines who are a subsidiary of Lufthansa.
We'd booked premium economy seats but whilst sat in the departure lounge of Frankfurt airport enjoying a bevy waiting for the connecting flight they announced over the loudspeaker if anyone would like to upgrade their seats. Me and Mrs Camberley looked at each other and said 'shall we do it?' so we did.
It turns out the upgrade was only another £250 each which considering that the business class seats were double the price of the premium economy seats when I originally booked the flights was a bit of a bargain. The food and the service was absolutely excellent and I would definitely recommend the airline. It was well worth five hundred quid. |  |
