Thimbleful of champagne on departure
Sitting on the ground at LHR waiting for pushback to Doha. The crew came round with a tray of champagne and water. I asked for champagne but was given a glass less way than an inch full of champagne (see pic in the comments below). Is is this a new cost cutting tactic or is it a reflection of the fact we’re on our way to the Middle East? |

That’s actually quite funny ! :D Nothing to do with the destination, rest assured. They will happily give you gallons of the stuff at the Al Mourjan or Al Safwa lounges in DOH. |
Haha, that's peak BA
|
Really very strange. Don’t know why they bothered. |
That is pretty poor. Perhaps it was the end of a bottle and they didn't want to open another.

I had similar on the BA16 on Sunday night. I assumed it was because they had used too much on the first leg and weren't restocked in SIN... Maybe it's now policy though!

If this were to happen to me I‘d certainly complain. I mean, really? |
You don’t say whether you’re in CW or F .... but either way, we really need to get that photo onto the BA website :cool: It would convey just the right image (literally and figuratively) |
That looks very well enhanced. One more reason to Fly BA in 2019.
Is it just me that doesn't really like these new glasses? Feels like I'm being served a soft fizzy drink opposed to champagne. |

When I saw the tray I initially assumed they were glasses that had already been drunk by other pax, but no they were handing them out! |
