First class had no champagne at breakfast!
 
These airlines are really getting bad! I flew back from LA with my wife in Business/First the other morning and was served a nice omelet and fruit plate. However they had no champagne! I did have a few glasses of Chardonay which was French but it's just not the same as champagne! I phoned Continental the next day to complain and although the woman was sympathetic she did point out that the beverages are complimentary. I supose it was a good thing I didn't mention that we had been upgraded from coach.

What is this world coming to??? :(

The real burning question is "did your brass balls set off the metal detector?"

Another thing you'll run into is they'll show you a menu listing 6 or 8 wines, but the truth is they only have one red and one white on board. Adding insult to injury, half of those have screw caps. :eek:

In fairness to the airlines on international flights, in some countries disposing of the bottles has become an issue. They often end up carrying the empties back to their home country. Not many people realize how much it costs to carry 100 lbs of empty bottles, thousands of miles.

Gee, that's a long way to take the bottles just to get back the deposit.
