Happy new year from LAX AC! No dice with glass flutes today - still a great way to start 2021.

And no stainless steel wine chiller either? Don't they know who you are?!

Also the 1990 Veuve Rose is amazing (they have a delayed release of it, "cave privee," so you can buy a bottle that was corked in the past few years, etc., and still has its bubbles). Have only had d'Yquem on QR!

I think the GH Mumm Cordon Rouge gets a bad rap for some reason; I find it good value. Will put La Grande Dame on the list...

Classy!

Has anyone seen this available in CLT? Or is it only in the Flagship First clubs?

Only in Admirals Clubs located in the same terminal as a former Flagship First Dining location. I have checked at CLT and DEN in the last week just to be sure...

Thank you for doing the research :)

Has anyone confirmed if this is available in the D terminal AC in DFW? Since it’s on JFK, MIA, and LAX I’d imagine, but a confirmed report would be reassuring.

Well, visited the AC in DFW D today and they didn’t have any. They did have the FFD reds (Le Pich was one I saw), so I wonder why no Krug at the moment.

Interesting. I wonder if they happened not to have any (unlikely), didn't have enough to make it worth the effort (could be), shipped it to JFK/LAX/MIA (very unlikely given the margin), or just didn't get the memo to include it...

I’m currently in the very subdued club at LAX and they have it on sale here. I’ve splurged for a bottle and it was served in a stainless steel ice bucket with glass champagne flutes!

Beautiful pic there, Geordie405. A welcome upgrade from what the LAX bartender served perigord on New Year's Day in post #103 above.

I just popped into DFW's D23 AC, and Krug is indeed on the menu here (whereas it wasn't on the menu at the A club when I went through there a couple weeks ago).

I didn't have time to ask if they actually had any in stock (let alone to drink one)... I only came in to grab a coffee before boarding (from D23, conveniently, though the coffee machine was unfortunately out of order).

I am very envious of the proper setup!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

No shade to perigord, but I think we need to produce something like this before we can say "the proper" setup!

Amazing how plastic cups can reset expectations. Just be on the on the lookout for clearance caviar being served in metal bowls and with metal spoons; plastics explicitly forbidden to prevent “downgrading” the premium product.
