Complimentary Alcoholic drinks in AC
Firstly on the subject of a prior search. Is there a standard phrase we double digit posters can use to deflect the arrows of the multi-thousand posters who(unofficially?) police this forum?
I am Plat and use the AC only on international flights – mainly in Bos, ORD & Mia. I am not a paid member of the AC and fly both coach and FC.
My question is about complimentary drink chits in the AC. Most of the time I am not given a chit. Sometimes one for myself and spouse(who varies between Gld or Plat over the last few years) On occasion two chits each, every time my name and Flt No are written on the chit.
Is there a declared policy – entitlement? or discretionary?
For those interested in such matters I searched using “AC drinks complimentary” this produced 87 threads. Adding ‘alcoholic’ to the search string didn’t help much; so I am risking the wrath of the forum’s more pedantic contributors.
If perchance this question was answered in 2003, forgive me please.
