Alcohol and lounges
Hello all
Returning seafarer and after long voyage with no port calls can safely say myself and rest of the small crew are virus free.
Have to travel through AMS and LHR in order to get home.
Does anyone know if BA are serving Alcohol in CE or any of their lounges at the moment?
Thanks

I find it a little odd that the OP's only apparent concern regarding taking several flights and travelling through two major hubs in the age of social isolation from a potentially fatal virus is whether he can get a drink.

Probably he has found a large number of sources to cover those issues

I don't know about AMS. But the only alcohol on the aircraft at the moment is isopropyl alcohol.
For LHR the only way I can see you getting alcohol, since there is zero provision airside, is to exit at LHR, go to M&S in arrivals which has its usual stock there. The usual restrictions on liquids apply so you need to consume on the spot, check any items into checked luggage or decant into 100ml containers.
