Gifting Krug?
Has CX ever gifted anyone a bottle of champagne (Krug?)
I don't like drinking on the plane and was planning to buy a bottle of champange to celebrate my Bday the next evening in HK. If I tell the FA that I don;t plan on drinking during the flight but would love to be gifted a bottle for later to celebrate my b-day, do you think they would/could?
In a way it'd feel a bit weird asking but if I'm not drinking during the flight, I'd love to have some to celebrate my bday the next day.

Many years ago I was gifted a bottle of Krug on an AKL-HKG flight (back when the route had F service). I didn't ask and it was a pleasant surprise. Carried it all the way home to NY and had it that Christmas.

I guess they could but wouldn't it be a little awkward asking? You might put the FA in an awkward position. Your in F Pax and they must look after you very well, yet they are not suppose to gift full bottles of krug.

if you play if right you only need 10000HKD to "buy up" miles for F award with Krug. but anyways, i know they can do it if you have the guts to ask, and if they have a "good" crew that flight. just dont expect it. Not drinking at all is a v good reason tho
