How accurate is EK's "what's on my flight" feature? I'm looking at my flight in F from JFK in late Nov. It seems like the red wine is better from ORD, BOS, SFO, LAX, IAD than JFK. Maybe it's just too early to tell? My F flight from CAN-DXB in August did not have the same wine list as the website.

Usually the wine in J changes every 40 days or so. I've found it much more accurate recently, but then again I've done a lot of flying in September.

Online list is generally accurate- usually more on the F list that they don't publish and of course the F list has all the J wines on it too.

Thanks for the info folks. The one that confuses me is that the Kapcsandy Cuvee 2011 seems to be on most of the US routes in F except for JFK. Surely this is a first world problem but everything I've had from that winery has been awesome.

Oh, and Amuse Bouche '12 is (still!) in the F lounge as well.
EDIT: The Kapcsandy in J lounge is the Endre, which is their "entry level" at $90 lol. It was in J in May SFO-DXB for a flash.

It's still in the J lounge near the champagne bar as of a week ago, they had at least half a case there unopened in the display. Amazing wine, to be sure. And i think the lounge has the '12 which was an insane vintage for Napa.
