I had that with Cathay and Cathay Dragon. I asked for a champagne and got it straight away. Once they even asked for my meal choice before the meal service started (a la Qatar). Note that I was flying MAD-BRU on IB and I got a personal welcome from an IB purser. He then told me to ask if I needed any drink. Seems that all other airlines treat BA’s status customers better than BA.
