I am not sure if the OP was only referring to coach, but I flew from LGA to ATL this morning on Eagle in first and the couple sitting next to me were drinking champagne.
And between the two of them, I think they drank the whole bottle, which is not a small feat considering the length of the flight.

Normally FAs don't do beverage service either flight, for obvious reasons, but last year I did have FAs on both flights break into the liquor box for me so that I could quickly put down a rum and coke, though I only had about 90 seconds between being handed the beverage to the captain coming on to say "flight attendant please prepare for landing."

HOU-DFW? That's a looooong flight (247 miles) compared to SBA-LAX (89 miles) or ORD-MKE (67 miles).

I think AE would do a lot better if it were spun off as a different company. Hopefully it stays in OW though, I have to do NRT-LAX-SAN once a year.

Also rumored (source: FA) to only be available to pax in F. Elites in Y will not be able to have "champagne".
