Not sure what the SOP is in AC Y, but IIRC there were usually two rounds of drinks using the trolley (= full bar), plus FAs offering water every few hours later during the flight (plus you can of course walk to the galley and ask for another drink of your choice)

All alcoholic drinks are free on int'l long-haul flights on AC mainline. Therefore there are no drinks for sale.

Did you pull that from AC's copy (in which case ac needs new copywriters) or do you just have trouble delineating between what is free vs what is harmonious?

If you're on Rouge there is no bubbly on tatl flights, and it's BOB for all alcohol. Currently shown as mainline but Yul to fco is rouged, so pays to be aware.

My last KL TATL in Y had FAs passing out mini-bottles of wine every so often throughout the flight. The service was superb.

I'm flying YUL-FCO in July, and the flights are mainline, not Rouge. Flights AC892 and AC893. Are you sure YUL-FCO is Rouge?

how did folks let this suggestion pass - BOB is NOT permitted by way of federal regulation, including any duty free you buy on board.
but of course you can always get tanked just before boarding in the lounge/airport restaurant - but do it very close to departure before the alcohol really impacts you and Boarding agent might just miss you - otherwise may not get to board in first place.
(of course, NOT good idea as we need fewer not more impaired persons on airplanes)

btw...where in Canada does Small State travel to that is NOT served by an AC competitor of some kind? Curious to know what tiny spot in Canada has only AC? Especially since Small State tells long story of using Alaska to avoid AC - fess up please ?
