When A Wine Split is Split in 2
FA trainees working LAX-ATL left me puzzled. After scanning my drink voucher, one poured half the bottle of red wine, replaced the cap and handed me the cup.
"Don't I get all of it," I asked?
"No sir..sorry," her teammate replied. "You also asked for tomato juice and drink orders in the main cabin total one full cup."
And where did such a directive originate? "Training instructor," they smiled.
Ok, then.

Isn't the tomato juice free in coach anyway?
Also, I wonder what happened to the remainder of the little bottle of wine.

Sorry to be playing catch up here, but are you saying that I could be using my HOOU coupons to "pay" for those splits? I'd much rather have that than the swill they serve in the main cabin!
Thanks for the tip!

Confused? Wine is either free or not. If not you can use the HOOU to pay.

+1.
I'm not a frequent flyer by any means, but I recently flew C+ MSP-GEG to visit family. First time using Delta for direct service, I usually can get a much better deal doing MSP-SEA-GEG on Alaska.
Anyways, the FA had no issue refilling my vodka OJ's when they got low. I had a ride picking me up on return, so I may have over-indulged just a tad.
