Yup, no bubbles on Domestic/TB flights in J.

Only Y for purchase.

But you know...

If one's willing to be unconventional, J passengers can buy it too...

I still don't understand why they serve captain in the back but Bacardi in the front... Neither can the SD'd I spoke to.

My guess is, they don't serve it in J simply because it's undrinkable. I believe my wife tried it once. Ended up not drinking it.

When you mix with OJ, it tastes fine.

It's not like any of the booze on board is "good".

The better stuff is just only offered in Y.

The JW Black is OK.

Compared to the crap whiskeys and scotches that the euro *A carriers stock in J, AC beats them. Dewar's White Label is common.... like really?

What does LH have in J? I know it's JW Blue in F, and that goes quite well with Coke.

Let's stick to J comparison.

LH J has Dewar's White! Complete crap.

JW Blue goes well by itself.
