Zero chance. They are the most strictly inventoried by the airline. They cost BR ~$30 a box, the most expensive thing they load onboard.

The load just enough for the pax on the inbound; same for the outbound.

Makes sense- thanks for the confirmation!

FWIW, just flew TPE-SEA last night and got La Grande Dame 2006 and the ruby red Rimowa case.

Jason Wu slippers and pajamas.

Wow, $30/box seems awfully expensive. With the volume BR must be purchasing surely there would be economies of scale that would kick in on these, bringing the pricing I would imagine to about half that, no?

At an average of $300/bottle, that's in sane for a business class product! Wish they would serve Krug vingtage ex. SFO! Not complaining through about the LGD 2006- still $150/bottle....

Just flew BR35 YYZ-TPE

Salvatore Ferragamo amenity kit and Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame champagne. Great flight back in cozy 11K. However, my FA Beverly was downright grumpy. Every other service interaction was lovely, but she seemed to hate her job and almost scowled at me from the moment I boarded. Very unusual for EVA...she might as well worked for United 😉

Just flew BR36 TPE - YYZ. VC LGD and Ruby Red Rimowa.

Fantastic flight. One of the best I ever had (second behind CX F) largely due to an amazing crew.

Pre-ordered Lam Rack for dinner and spare ribs noodles for my pre-arrival. Both good. I wish the soup for the noodles were a bit hotter but completely understand why they probably can't have it too hot.

Was the seatbelt sign on? New policy starting last year was if the sign is on, the hot liquid temperatures of meals and beverages is to be lowered.

Are the Rimowa kits updated every year, once a year?
Just wondering how often BR change the Rimowa kit colors.
