  1. The Heathrow Bears are seven years old. They did three of them, IIRC, with Petula Clark making a cameo in the second.

  2. So, what is the Qantas F lounge in LAX doing over the Christmas holidays? And the comment that the special wine is limited – but then Gary’s comment that if you are AA PP (or higher) you can get it? Doesn’t seem to correlate to the Executive Traveler story???

  3. Wine is good; UA seat looks fine; TSA is already scanning faces; would hope that the TSA would know the difference between a bullet and an actual round (in this case they found the latter), but alas.

  4. OMG! Great wine being poured in Sydney, Melbourne lounges. The most important part of flying is definitely the drink! Let’s write a book about it. 🙂

  5. I was served Jadot Chambertin 1999 in F on Jet Airways BOM-SFO. Not a lounge of course. Still would take Chambertin over almost any other terroir! Presumably that’s why Jet Airways went bust. Noted I was only passenger in F. (Revenue ticket)

  6. I’ve never figured out the big Deal about Penfolds wine???
    Just overpriced wine.
    Lots of other great Australian wines at a fraction of the price.

  7. Emirates F served excellent Pauillac when I was there. I’ll take Bordeaux over Oz. Penfolds makes good wine, but not better than Bordeaux. Just my HO.

  8. Anyone know what dates the Grange is being served? Flying QF F out of MEL on 1/1 and would love to try it in the lounge.
