I have already complained of course and got what I really wanted: 500k miles out of this.
But a detail: I had 7 minutes of credit left so then those 3 min extra become very annoying suddenly!

At the B FCL, I was in there for about half an hour without seeing any other passenger around 10:30am on Sunday. The busiest place was the cigar lounge in Concourse A FCL with about half a dozen people.

In other news, I've been thinking of coming up with a little printable PDF of off-menu cocktails we can make with onboard stuff, any contributors? Here's my list of proven recipes so far:
Boulevardier (Negroni with Woodford instead of gin)
Negroni Sbagliato (Negroni with Champagne instead of gin, this was a cabin crew member's formula)
Mai Tai (no orgeat but gets really close)
Sidecar

Now that I'm totally grounded until my company allows travel (probably when there's a vaccine)... got nothing better to do than add more to this list for when I get back to it...

"Champagne"?
Maybe you can be a bit more specific than that.
I find the recipe interesting, but Dom is possibly wasted on this. Pity they don't do cocktails in the Moët bar in the B J lounge....

If they have that random bottle of Taittinger onboard for PDB in F (because they're too cheap to pay duty on the Dom), that's even better.
