Krug DO this Saturday?
Ok folks, here's the deal. I just spilled 35,000 miles on this Saturday's 6pm AA28, JFK-LAX, in F on the 321T. I'm planning to hunker down at the AC beforehand and consume whatever Krug supplies remain from about 3 to 5 p.m. If anyone wants to join, stop by or shoot me a PM or something (I tagged the frequent Krug fans in this thread, but all--obviously--are welcome). Happy to divvy up some Marshallberg Farms ossetra with proper spoons and all the fixins if that caviar party is finally in order.
I may not have the occasion to hit the transcons for at least a couple months after this weekend, so it will likely be "lit" as the youths say...
* 3544quebec is not invited, due to previously espoused McNugget-related beliefs

The good news is that I was told that, although it has been selling well, there is still good supply.
The potentially logistically complicated news is that they do not keep the entire stash behind the bar, or even in the Admirals Club. They keep the stock in storage somewhere in T8. They give them 6 bottles of Krug at the beginning of the day. Hard to say whether they can just quickly and easily call up more from reserves if they sell those six (because I don't think they've had to very much), but it is worth asking the bartender when you get here, or even emailing the AA premium services rep for JFK, whoever that is, if you are planning to have a group purchasing multiple bottles!

This will be the one time I follow up to those premium services reps with something more than "thanks"... (although it will probably also be the one time I don't get a text from them telling me what gate my flight is leaving from)
MIA Flyer is slated to arrive at JFK before me, so he may also be able to ensure adequate supply.

Looking forward to it! Never done a "meet" or a "do" before!
