+1, Christep. When I used to fly 884 to LAX, there were several occasions on which I was the only one in F. Each time, I went home with a full bottle of Krug (in addition to the one I drank onboard), gift from the FAs. Now that I typically fly home on 830 through JFK, it's almost always 4+/6, and last month it was Deutz, no Krug in either direction.

Great idea. Now that I'm a bit older, I always do that, both in the air and on the ground. Works like a charm.
