He was not able to have a single glass of champagne, because UA only stocked one bottle. I didn't know there were no slippers in F on HKG flights. Undoubtedly, he will not pay for UA International F again.
Seriously - UA can't afford to stock more than one bottle of the good stuff for GF? That's really cheap.

Agree with all of the above. While the food is fine, the wine up front continues to be barely drinkable swill. Flew UA to Europe and OS back, both in business, and the difference was amazing. Austrian offers a wide selection of good wine, and they actually board the wines listed on the menu.

How does that figure? All the expense being directed at the GF results in shortchanging the BF product? In what universe?
