AMM transit pretty boring imho, I dislike the (huge) lounge. I remember food/beverages in the lounge to be rather disappointing.
Onboard 2-2-2 seating on the 787-8, comfortable enough. Food from/to Europe was remarkably better than what was served on AMM-BKK v.v.
Apparently RJ don't serve champagne anymore, but Bottega Prosecco? That might be a dealbreaker for someone

Indeed TP's was a mess, had to show boarding passes to BAEC and get the miles only after quite a while, but in the end all sorted.

Personally I would potentially pay a couple of hundred more and fly Etihad from Rome, prices as low as 1,541 on certain dates eg 19-26 March. If I needed tier points Qatar has flights from Rome as low as 1,906 although i am sure someone may have a better ex-EU departure point for them.

As for the Vino Collapso question here's what it says on the Majestic Wine site.
BOTTEGA PROSECCO
Once you've seen a bottle of Bottega fizz, it's not easily forgotten. But there's more than a touch of glamour behind these wines.
This legendary estate dates all the way back to the 17th Century, when Andrea Bottega began cultivating vines high in the Treviso hills.
Fast forward to today and the sustainably run family estate is now world-renowned for its award-winning wines and grappa.
25.99 per bottle.

I'm taking MAD - BKK end of september. Was not able to find exactly that low price but still tolerable to get to BKK (or near SIN in my case) on dates I wanted (and to get TPs).
First time for me on RJ so curious about how it will be
