Can you send the latest wine list please?

Anyone know how to get an Air Canada member number into a booking at all? Booked Mrs NoName using my miles and when I go to manage the booking it only seems to have the option to enter a KrisFlyer number. She’s Air Canada gold curtesy of the HSBC CC and wanting it added for the extra baggage allowance. Is it a case of having to ask them to put it in at check in?

What a downgrade, they have removed 2006 Chateau Leoville Poyferre

Any idea if they will get this back?

The Bordeaux is more like what they would serve in the SIN SQ F lounge

Edit: Push back delayed 30mins so could well be a couple more ‘edits’ to follow

What's with pouring with hand around the neck like this?

And was there still Krug available?

Perhaps to show off the label ?

Can’t do that with Cristal

10 Things You Should Know about Cristal

From its opulent packaging to its ubiquity in pop culture, Cristal Champagne has become synonymous with luxury. It’s name-dropped in the songs of countless artists from A$AP Rocky to Drake to Lana Del Rey, and some bottles of the precious bubbly can even soar to the heights of nearly $26,000. If...

But I hv to say I am encouraged by other wine on the Mel F lounge list. Seem to recall somebody put the boot into mgmt about poor standards last yr?

Yes! I gave them a right serve about Koonunga Hill last year that went right to the SVP in charge. I agree with @Cruiser Elite that DM is Australia's second most overrated wine (love Kevin John though) but I'm more than happy to enjoy a few glasses of DM.

SKL F in MEL is now functioning very well, both in terms of wine list and quality of food. Credit where credit is due, they've fixed all the issues I had.

@Cruiser Elite I am also reliably informed that unfortunately the bean counters have confirmed coloured BPs are being removed from the network very imminently.

I just shake my head at this and have read this elsewhere as well

J and F should have coloured BP's

Ha! Many airlines are trying to phase physical BPs out altogether.

Even if not coloured by class, I wished they brought back the branded boarding passes like the ones QF give out (at least for International flights).

Yeah. I wonder if that will ever be practical?

Folk without smart phones. And phones running out of battery.

Not to mention the additional time it takes to board as people fuss around, then realise their screen has locked, then unlock, then try again, then try to get the code in focus…

If airlines want to speed up boarding go back to paper!
