Great contribution of MapHappy who just like us at Tasting and Living, are fed up with not getting our G&T on flights anymore. Free that is.
Needless to say that Brussels Airlines doesn’t either on most of their flights!
It’s fair to say that with airlines charging for basic sustenance these days that they wouldn’t give alcoholic drinks away for free. Apparently, many airlines still do, especially for international flights and it’s just not limited to business or first class passengers. If you’re back in coach sitting with the rest of the folks (and me!), there’s no reason you can’t have a glass of wine with your dinner either.
Please drink responsibly; dehydration happens faster in a pressurized cabin than at a keg party. Trust me, you don’t want to be that guy or girl – for five hours.
