I'm usually coming off the back of an ex-AU flight by which point I need to warm up to go again. The J progression of drinking from lounge to inflight to transit for me is: Champagne, wine (with dinner), port. Get on the plane; Champagne, cocktail, wine, port, whisky. Lounge in DXB: mimosa, wine (with meal) and whisky (with something to smoke). Then I usually sleep pretty well on the 2nd leg.
