Also perhaps BA shouldn't advertise the availability of Champagne in Club Europe as a product feature, not necessarily because people outside of FT base their airline choice on whether or not they serve Champagne or not, but rather to keep it as a "hidden" feature. I'm sure they could market it as "a complimentary glass of Champagne before the meal".
I don't understand a word of this. What is the correlation between AF LH economy and BA CE? Why are you are trying to rationalize an unsubstantiated rumor? Why the aperitif assumption? What's next? No red wine before the meal? Since when is BA an arbiter of taste and social correctness?
Its either available or it is not. What the punter decides to do with it and in what quantity, is a matter for the punter.
