I heard that they serve alcohol for free on their international flights. Is this true?


for the love of God say yes.

On every transatlantic and transpacific flight I have ever been on, alcohol was free. Also, when I flew to Brazil a couple of years ago it was free.

I think this used to be true moreso than it is now.

I flew to Paris a couple weeks ago (nonstop from Boston on American) and I needed to pay for drinks.

That's weird because I fly to France and I never had to pay for alcohol.

Most non-US based airlines have free booze on international flights.

sweet. what airline?

[poker-penguin]

I fly internationally every year or so (qantas or Air NZ) and it's usually free beer (in mini cans) and wine but pay for spirits.

They're quick to crack down though.

United does also on its Australia route. Plus the food is decent. Go figure.

I've flown BA from Phoenix to London several times and they have always served free booze. If you like good beer, ask for London Pride.

I find that I freak out enough that either the airline gives me drinks, or the other pasengers. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Until around a year ago, even most of the US airlines offered free booze in coach on all international flights. On United, which I flew most often, we weren't just talking free wine either -- lots of different liquors, and if you asked nicely they would occasionally bring you higher-end stuff (port, etc.) from business class.

Alas, the days of getting blitzed for "free" in coach are gone, at least flying transatlantic on US-based carriers. Most of the non-US carriers (including BA, AFAIK) do still have free booze. Flying transpacific it's different -- Northwest never dropped their free alcohol policy, so United (and probably others) still follows suit (at least, as of a couple months ago).

this is because american airlines is one of the crappiest in existence....all others that I know of serve alcohol....course i've always flown business class so we also got lobster, champagne, 15 year old scotch, steak, desert cart, cheese plate, etc.

BA will serve free booze. I thought all airlines gave freebies except for budget airlines.

If you don't want to get cut-off be charming to your stewardess.

that is all

Those mid-Atlantic hangovers are a bitch.

[bdohaney]

I have flown over the Atlantic many times. All of the American carriers have stopped serving in coach for free, but both Air France and BA still serve. When it comes down to it, even though foreign carriers will generally cost you 50-100 extra round trip, it is WELL worth the expense (couple more inches of foot room, better food, better blankets/pillows, blindfold, real headphones, etc.)

nice. ive never flown transatlantic before. sounds like i wont be too uncomfortable

[poker-penguin]

Yep, non US airlines pwn US airlines.

Air NZ, QANTAS, Air Canada, British Airways, all pretty damn good to me in the last few years.

Malaysian airlines was awesome when I flew with them 10 years ago.

I flew United internationally once - they sucked ass. Also flown AA from LA to Vancouver, and that bit.

Ultimately, Eastern US to London is a short hop. Wait till you fly London to Auckland - then you'll appreciate that air travel is the devil.
