pharohmoans is an epic wine but as per that pic above opus 2013 is one epic wine with a massive finish.

Hoping for the onboard menu to be a little more exciting.

But Pharoah Moans is an easily Google-able product with lots of data.... at least in the US Google world.
Nevertheless, its always to fun to try out new wines on EK F...never know until you try is my motto.

Wonder if its select routes only right now? Ill report back when Im flying home to JFK next week.
Side note, anyone flying out of ORD, get there as late as possible. The LOT lounge is awfully crowded. I took a 1hr walk around the terminal before boarding because it wasnt worth sitting in a super crowded space.

No DP Rose on EK236 ORD-DXB today. FA said she hasn’t seen it since the late summer (which is when I remember it last being on offer)

Flying EK at a very quiet time, feels a bit eerie due to obvious reasons.
But staff and crew are absolute professionals. Warm, attentive and going about service as if everything is normal.
F check in counters were closed today. Was departing from concourse A. F lounge was closed and J lounge just opened today.
PDB is glass of Dom 2015. No p2 etc. Praying that everything here gets back to normal. These guys are absolute champs.

I may end up taking my HYD-DXB-JFK tonight since the inbound to HYD is on schedule and today’s DXB-JFK 203 took off, so I’m a bit more confident now.
