Nothing visible on the What's on your flight page at the moment.
Just a "We're sorry" error page.
There was also a week where wine showed when you clicked on the seatmap, food when you clicked on wine etc.
Looks like the EK website has some serious issues.
Previously the page showed P2 for my first ever EK flight later this month, hopefully it's still there when the website is fixed!

If you go to the website, don’t use Manage My Booking, but use the third tab on the homepage, which is called ‘what’s on your flight’. Don’t log in, just enter flight number or route and date. It wil then give you a page with all flights which correspond to your input, you then select the class of service and you get what you are after. Just tried it a few minutes ago (using Safari as the browser) and it worked. It usually does for me.
Good luck!

As long as the resources are funneled towards IT safety systems though I can live without knowing my wine list

I'm flying from LHR to DXB in the miidle of December in F. Looking at the wine list it is very heavy on whites with 6 (including the P2). Only two reds are listed and both also on the J list. Looking at tomorrows flight it is much the same ( 7 whites and 3 reds) apart from the Ch Langrange 2006 which is the only 'F exclusive' red on the list. Not particulary bothered but it just seems unusual.

Happy to see that Chateau Margaux 2004 is on my next EK flight, AMS - DXB, a few bottles of that will help the flight go reasonably well....!

Yeah I just flew DXB-YYZ and they removed the Eisele and had zero vintages - second long distance in a row that week in First with no vintage.

Vintage reds yes but the list looks more like an EK J wine list for reds. It’s well below what I’ve had the last 5-6 years of being lucky enough to fly F. But I’ll definitely enjoy the P2 and Paradis. In the past EK has showcased some great cult wines from Napa on their SFO and LAX routes.
