Pop, pop. Fiz, gas. Want to know the secret of airplane champagne?
Well, one flight attendant is spilling the tea — or bubbles, as it were — on what she and her cloud-cruising colleagues do with the left over championships that first-class flyers don’t finish before landing.
“Everyone wanted to know what champagne is served on board in business class,” wrote Adriana Kinch, an Emirates flight attendant, in a trending post on Instagram.
“Of course, there’s Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut,” the brunette revealed to her 12.3 million virtual viewers, adding that the gorgeous sips are, “always freshly opened and bubbly champagne presented to customers.”
However, after the pre-departure toasts have been made, the champagne glasses clinked and most of the goods have been scalded by the odd travelers, there is often little liquor left in the luxury bottles.
But neither is it offered to the less fortunate flyers in the carriage, nor is it shared among cabin crew members – although, they could probably use a suds or two after feeding bloody passengers all day.
No, white liquor is thrown down the drain instead.
