Hennessy paradis

Rumour that ek is pulling this delightful tipple from first.

Anyone confirm or deny?

Ive heard that you can attempt to order this while in the a380 flying bar and while booked in C. Anyone have any experience with ordering other tipples (like F class wine)?

If you are a F class passenger you can order F class champers at the J bar.

They follow you down the plane with the dom!

It's a little cringe worthy in my view.

Hennessy paradis

The biggest cringe worthy event is when an F pax comes to the bar in pyjamas followed by the Dom!

Because it's a look at me I'm in first kind of thing.

I don't even like the bigger glass they give you although no one ever notices that.

I like the bar but the wife thinks that when in f you should stay in the suite and relax!

Am yet to witness such a spectacle, but must confess I too would find it pretty distasteful......

I find the bar is a pleasant enough diversion for say 30 mins or maybe an hour max, but on long sectors prefer the privacy of the suite. Indeed, I often think that the bar space could be better used to increase the size of the F suites.

It's already been pulled and Hennessy Privé is already appearing on board. Good luck for anyone flying in the next few days to catch the last stocks!

A disappointing development, and perhaps indicative of further cutbacks still to come.

What next, one wonders .......
