BA F onboard is a mixed bag... they try at least. You are guaranteed Pommery Louise at the CCR and they now have four sparkling wines onboard with at least one Premium. Good 'ol LPGS even made a comeback last May. Don Julio 1942 tequila, a decent scotch, etc. Couple that with JFK Chelsea (visiting in May 2026), which has Dom/Cristal/LPGS/Krug on rotation, and BA can actually be ultra premium at times.

The CCR has wild swings in quality too; I actually prefer MUC/FRA lounges for food for some reason - but give me a sandwich/scone/cocktail at the LHR CCR and I'm happy. The bar staff there make some interesting cocktails and take pride in their work; at the FRA FCT I feel like you have some junior wait staff stumbling through a cocktail recipe at times...
