Drinking Age?
 
I'm flying 1st class from london to osaka in september with EK and was wondering will i be able to drink alcohol as i am only 18?

You shouldn't have any issues.
Having said that, note that a baby scotch for example at 33,000 feet is equivalent to a full glass at sea level. So take it easy, and enjoy moderatly :)

I'll second moderation. A flight hangover hurts on the noggin' twice as hard. (speaking from experience here :D )

Since 16 in J I have not been refused/IDed. Emirates was no exception.

I am 19, but look quite a bit younger. The EK FA's always hesitate because they don't know whether or not to give me a wine list. I don't really mind though as I don't drink :)

Cheers,

16s pretty young, Im 15 and would just feel a bit awkward having an adult offer me a drink with no hard feelings :p

Thanks for the replies. i Flew biz class with continental last week and the FA asked on boarding whether i would like a coke or sprite. no way was she going to give me champagne .

Under British Law you can drink at 16 as long as you do not pay for it. Otherwise its 18.
