Those were the days! I fondly remember the wine flights on 871/872 in 2018/19. And the sundae cart.
Now a red/white/bubbles choice is the best it gets.
For the record it wasn't all roses and sunshine in 2018/19, though. I was once chastised by a FA in Polaris for requesting water, because she had already brought me a bottle. I guess a $4k Z-fare only included 12 oz of water on that flight
