Ah yes, I was assuming that was also the reason (and it was cheap cava, and I don't do it often). I assume the freezer sleeves have the same effect. Wouldn't be stuck in a bucket of ice have the same effect too? (this is definitely getting Off Topic)

I would certainly complain to BA. There is a very real understanding now (all the way to the top) at just how badly the ball has been dropped with this waiting room. I’m told there may well be a rather dramatic solution to it being announced shortly but I would not assume that BA will go through with this unless they continue to get the frequency and ferocity of complaints that they’ve had in the last few months.

So off topic, but .... Less temperature difference , its a bucket of ice+water, so cooling but not freezing, much better for the bubbles and flavour

The hostess said they go in there. Maybe it's pre flignt or it's more likely them using off-duty perks. I've never seen (or would want to see - for booze reasons) pilots in CCR!

I think someone is mistaken. They wouldn’t be in Chelsea if traveling for work or on staff travel - unless they happen to be a GGL.
