P2 available tonight upon request on EK206 JFK-MXP, even for PDB.
Will report back for my Sunday MXP-DXB sector

Edited to add: seems only 1 bottle was available, and it was depleted within 1hr after departure

I'd notch that as a win!

Is your MXP-DXB sector tomorrow the real continuation flight from JFK (206) or one of the stand-alone DXB-MXP-DXB? I'm thinking odds of P2 are higher if it's stand-alone because of depletion on the flight from JFK. Counter point would be that EK does not load/serve P2 on the standalone route. Let us know.

It's one of the stand-alones (EK102 10:25am departure on 77W) and as of right now looks like I'm the only one booked in F. Unfortunately J and Y loads look pretty full so I wouldn't be surprised if F goes out full with op ups.
My guess is that there will be at least 1 bottle of P2 on this sector, but will definitely report back

Happy to report that P2 is indeed available this morning on EK102 MXP-DXB, even for PDB!

Excellent. Very nice. I suspect that having it on the sector to DXB on EK206 is less likely -- unless they load 4 bottles at DXB with new/very clear instructions to only open 1 bottle per sector and actually abide by them.

Yes and there were at least 2 bottles on this flight. 2nd one was opened during the meal service. Perhaps no one drank any on the inbound?
I also think I may be the only one drinking it on this flight (maybe 3 other F pax) as we’re about 1hr from landing I just polished off the 2nd bottle LOL
For scientific purposes I may have to finish this glass quick and ask for another, to determine whether more than 3 bottles are ever loaded :D

Can confirm that they only had 2 bottles of P2.
My last “glass” was the regular Dom served in a to go cup because we were 30 min from landing.

Great crew and service on EK102 today. Honestly as a seasoned EK F flyer, I agree with the sentiment of 77W F. Unless I’m going straight to the office/meeting, the shower on the A380 is not necessary. The suite on the 777s just feels more spacious and the service is almost always better.

2 bottles on this flight is very nice. I can see them load 4 bottles in DXB on each of the flights (2 stand alone, 1 that continues to JFK). The sector from DXB to MXP is pretty light in F as a general matter, plus the 777 leaves at a crazy time (ie people might not be drinking). Odds are that the standalone flights on the way back to DXB will have plenty of P2. EK 206, not so much...

As to 380 v. 777, always fun debate.

There was about 3/4 of a bottle of Dom P2 on today’s SYD-CHC run when I boarded.

An hour or so into the flight and there was none left. (It was very delicious though after I had finished my ‘does it taste the same in the air as it does on the ground?’ experiment. I needed several glasses in both scenarios to make sure. :D)

After exhausting supplies of the P2, I moved onto the Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne and was quite satisfied with that too.

EDIT - also on the CHC-SYD flight on new year's eve. There are worse ways of spending new year's eve than drinking a whole bottle of Dom P2 and eating caviar!

Very pleased to report that P2 is available on BKK-HKG today, even for PDB.
I fear we may run out before departure if there’s only one bottle as it’s being proactively offered to everyone!

Edit: 2nd bottle was opened after takeoff. Really amazing that they have 2 bottles for this 2.5hr 5th freedom flight.

To EVERYONE? Tut tut,:D

Good that there was a second bottle. Feel sorry for the pax on BKK/DXB....

Maybe they load 8 bottles in Dubai with strict instructions to open 2 per leg.

Ha, I only mention it because IME they usually don't proactively present/offer it to all pax unless specifically requested. The official policy may of course be different.
But it was sad to see the pax in front of me take a sip of the P2, use it for her photo op, and then the FA cleared an almost full glass... :rolleyes:

CMB-MLE-DXB
 

Only F passenger on CMB to MLE. FA proactively offered P2 and mentioned 2 bottles catered on this flight.

3/4 of the bottle already polished off. :D

P2 was available on both HYD-DXB and DXB-JFK last night/today. Don’t know how many bottles as I didn’t have any. I needed to detox for this journey home :p

Side note, for the first time in my many years of flying EK, I was told my entree choice was no longer available. It was the chicken (shish taouk) on DXB-JFK.
Not a huge deal but I was surprised since I’ve never had them run out of an option before. I did sleep for the first 8hrs of the flight so that may have played a part in it. And the rest of the menu looked pretty meh so most pax may have chosen the chicken.
