Is something specific to JFK? Have been at ORD H/K, DFW A, C, & D, and LAX T4 and T5s and the only pre-packaged food has been some pre-made salads, the rest have been open trays/bowls.

The champagne on entry really may have just been because it was opening day.......
I just saw it as a nice opportunity for them to improve. The setup they have at flagship bridge is great, expanding that would be fantastic and get flagship close to polaris.

I have a feeling PHL wont be open for a while, Do we no longer have any flyertalkers who have inside info? What happened to John NYC he was the best.

That's what I've read. I'll take LPGS any day! It ain't Krug, but it's close!

LPGS is honestly really good as well. Seems like they liquidated all of their Krug with that special promotion a while back. Does anyone know what they're serving on board now?

I actually prefer LPGS, but did read it was around a $40 downgrade (retail bottle price) from before with the Krug they had.

Still, it’s an excellent special champagne…often served in Swiss First class and BA Concorde room

Now if only they’d serve the LP as the arrival glass of champagne into the lounge, I’d start loving AA again does anyone know what they actually serve on arrival? Is it real champagne or some sparkler like Prosecco?
