That's a shame...can I ask which route?
Dubai - Europe

BUT ! I later asked the supervisor,, who double check, and found the graal.

So it was just a lack of communication between crew.

If you really want a specific champagne served to you in the lounge, you could get it, as iO :p

Hi all,

I’m a newbie to Emirates, having converted from BA. I flew J last year and loved it so much I booked a trip in F to Tokyo this year. Anyway, my flights to and from DXB from STN show Dom 2008 as the champagne, but my DXB to NRT legs are showing Moet Imperial Brut. Is this right?! I don’t mean to sound entitled, but I was hoping for Dom for all legs!

Thank you.

I just randomly clicked the wine list for DXB - NRT return and it seems to not show the First Class Champagne, but you would think it would be Dom.

when are you flying? Lists aren’t that accurate / updated quickly. You will have 2008 Dom at the very least if not the Rose or some other special like p2 that comes around very so often.

nice for you to get the new suites for such a long trip

Wapps68 Jul 13, 2019 10:19 pm
Thank you. It’s September.

Will NRT be the new suites? I know STN will.

no - you should have flown to HND

Was chatting with a purser on my flight last night - apparently the second STN flight is operating an older 777 configuration, so based on which flight your'e on, you now only have a 50/50 chance of getting the suites.

Wapps68 Jul 15, 2019 12:47 am
Thank you. I am on the first flight and the seat map is showing the new config - phew!

I’m flying F from KIX and it was showing only Moët, too. Now it is showing 2009 Dom, not the 2008. Looking forward to trying it next week.

Might be slightly OTT but fellow alcoholics will be interested to note that Tourists to DXB can legally buy alcohol from.the liquor shops in Dubai.You apparently still need a license but that's free and you can apply at the shop itself.

https://www.independent.co.uk/travel...-a9012086.html

Previously this option was open to only to Dubai resident non muslims.

Because that 5 bottle duty free allowance will only last 2 days, max.... :p

Champagne in J
 
A newbie question here as someone who has rarely flown in J and only once before on EK five years ago. This month's menus/wine lists for EK164/163 DUB/DXB show no champagne listed in J,while my onward flight to SYD shows Moët. Does this actually mean there will be no champagne on the Dublin flights and I will have to wait until the lounge in DXB to enjoy some bubbly?
