MUC-PUJ in Y questions
Hi everyone, not a habitual visitor to the AB forum, so apologies about some of the questions being potentially basic. I did some level of research but still have a few questions.
For context, I am considering flying with my SO on the all-Y MUC-PUJ AB flight later in November. I am BA Gold (OWE).
1. Have the all-Y A330s flying this route been converted to new seats with individual IFE screens?
2. Is there a lounge at MUC that I can use prior to the flight?
3. What sort of food/beverage service should I expect? I assume there would be an open bar?
4. Seat assignment should be free for OWE but, XL seats may be a challenge? is that right?
Many thanks!

Yes, as OWE you can enter the AB lounge called "Atlantic Lounge" or try and access the BA lounge with your BA OWE status.
In-flight, you get as much wine and beer as you like, just ask nicely. You will be served a full meal and a snack during flight.
In the lounge you will have the usual snack bar with some hot food and an open bar with a good selection of spirits, wine and beer.
AB except for lounge access, AB generally ....s on OW status. AB does not recognize free seat assignments due to OW status and for XL seats you will ALWAYS have to pay and pre-book in advance.

AB does allow for free seat assignment from OWE/OWS status. Just not XL. As for IFE, what's offered content-wise from MUC to PUJ will be exactly the same on your return whether you spend 1 week or 4 months in PUJ.
