Have fun, all !

It was a nice try at rubbing it in, but unless you’re taking your own it’s unlikely to be Krug 2004! Has been rotated out and and will probably have changed again to Piper Heidsieck Rare or Taittinger CdD by December

Krug 2004 was introduced on CX F in April this year, had the pleasure of enjoying some glasses ultimo April. It's still on display on the updated wine list for CX F as per CX website just now. Many things can of course happen in two months, but I keep fingers crossed there will be no change of Champagne.

Never even thought of bringing my own choice of Champagne, or for that matter any other alcoholic beverage, to any cabin, in any flight, thank you very much.

Hi @KARFA, @teledude, thanks for your usual organisational skills, always appreciated. I have been lucky two years in a row, but will be in Bolton for our NW sites party this year, sorry to miss you all.

Or somewhere around here in London, I am out and about end of Oct/early November, pretty much in constant transit from the 23rd to the 15th, but still holding out hope for Nov 2
