Flying CE I am almost always in row 1 or 2. I ask for 2 drinks occasionally, when I sense it might be particularly busy or hectic, G&T plus wine etc. More often than not, its just one drink to start. When I want another drink(s) I either flag down a passing CC or use the call bell.

I read a lot of references on these threads to ‘another bar run’ or ‘waiting for the second bar run’ etc, as if FTers feel they must be passive and wait until offered more. This strikes me as a very WT or, formerly, ET approach. People are being far too passive. If I want something else I ask for it, either directly to CC or via the call bell.

I don’t allow the size of the CE cabin to dictate my approach to the service I ask for. 3 CE rows or 12, if I’d like another drink I will request it, at whatever point in the cabin service.

EDIT: In a small CE cabin the service can be personalised and far more proactive, which is lovely. This is rarely possible in a 10+ row CE cabin, though one needn't suffer in silence.
