Personally, most disappointed upon receipt, where were those nice crisp 2 golden notes in each packet?

Seriously, this is the first year of receiving them after long years of DM, and the crazy thing is I am on the holiday.................

Kung Hei Fat Choy!

It was a test. Mind you I didn't even get a bottle of water on that long-haul flight.

P.S. Is cysyuen a DM? His/her profile just shows BAEC Gold.
I am BA Gold/OWE. MPC is unsustainable as CX is not my major carrier but BA/UL)QR.

i think bottle of water is for mpc dm only, and not extend to gold nor owe as guaranteed benefit. correct me if i was wrong.

i got bottle as OWE sporadically.

but...

inconsistent service level depending on lottery of crew plus mood of the ISM is laughable. moreover, other airlines typically offer water on red eye flight even for economy... i usually just take a bottle from lounge or buy one at Mannings if i am running short of time. i always want to be hydrated

I did get one from lounge but finished it mid way. Just wanting a bottle so I don't have to keep asking for one!

Im a SG-based DM and got nothing. Maybe it is because I only qualified in late Dec, maybe they do not give these out in SG (anymore?) or maybe they just dont like me enough.

Never been denied a bottle if the sp / ism comes over and says hi.

When I flew long haul Y (SFO route), the FPs/ISMs used to bring along a bottle of water when they came over to greet me. That was at least the case up to three years ago. IIRC, that was for both DM and GO.

I was never offered a bottle of water as a GO in Y in about a half dozen SFO-HKG or HKG-SFO flights. On a recent HKG-KIX flight as a OWE, I asked for a bottle of water and the FP came back with one for me.

Curious as to why having/not having a bottle of water seems to be an important topic? I mean...it's just a bottle of water...
