To complete my update, LPGS being poured freely on board DXB-LHR on Saturday night (though I only had a couple before nodding off).
As an aside, several of the F seats occupied by young children - some people clearly have lots of disposable income

Plus don't forget it's a leisure heavy route and if you get a family of four booking seats with Avios at T355 and then a GGL with 3 kids booking with a Joker you can easily have 5 children in that cabin on redemption tickets as well.

I do like bit of rye. When I kept a proper bar at home, I would have Rittenhouse Rye, one of a number of bourbons, Dewars white label, a Highland (Dalwhinnie, probably) and Ardbeg Uiegadail. These days it is the first and the last only. For cocktails, American Rye all the way.

On a related LPGS note, Just bagged a bottle for £60 in an Ocado Smartpass 50% off offer
I intend to consume it in a darkened room, wearing F pyjamas on a day bed sofa under a duvet. Will watch a couple of quite recent films on an iPad Pro + QC 35s. M&S ready meal served on a tray and perhaps a couple of sips of JW blue to follow. The F experience without jet lag :-)

Indeed it’s quite random, but usually some great wines avail.
OT, they also had JW Blue ‘Ghost’ on the offer which would have worked out at £110 vs £220. Is max £120 discount per customer so went for the LPGS and a couple of £40 reds.

Champagne isn't the quintessential example of a JIT supplied product. Was the missing stock stuck in a Conviviality warehouse, or somewhere further up chain for BA and others to bring into consumption via different suppliers?

Thanks for highlighting. Put 2 in my basket and checked out when the email came except switching one bottle for two pinot’s with a decent discount to market price.

To further calm fears, LPGS being poured widely in T5 CCR this morning. As well as that, the service throughout is great. Breakfast service in the dining area was quick and I am now on the terrace with a staff member making frequent rounds with a cold bottle of LPGS!

Can confirm. Am lounging on the brilliantly lurid sofa with free flowing LPGS
