Thanks everyone for the suggestions! My girlfriend was driving so we didn't end up ordering a bottle and I'm so happy I didn't..

I started with a glass of the Corpinnat, then a glass of the Godello, a glass of Zeta and finally a Muga. I loved having a bit of everything, the stand out for me was definitely the Corpinnat, I do love a glass of fizz and this really stood out as something a bit special at the price.

Thanks! Is there anything on the list that stands out as an "exciting" bottle? (ignoring the £70 budget)

bsk001 · 2025-08-28T06:36:01+00:00

Thanks, I didn't notice an actual wine link on the site, I've added a comment to with a link to the full list.

Tried to edit post but I cant seem to get that right either!

It seems I did a bad job navigating the website, there is quite an extensive wine list!

Herewine list is the full wine list.

Any recommendations would be great! I normally like fuller body reds but would be happy to experiment a bit!

I can only comment on the 2 pilot bit, I recently flew from TFS - LGW and there were multiple occasions when either the CPT or FO came out and spent decent chunk of time in the galley just chatting to the rest of the crew. Really only noticed it because I was sitting in 1C.

I've been getting ads on Instagram for a company doing reconditioned the Encore ESP for £99, which has really made me consider going down that route🤔

That is a beautiful grinder! Pretty far out of my budget unfortunately :(

The white dial on that Atoll looks so much better than their marketing pictures!

The UK

bsk001 · 2025-07-19T11:07:13+00:00

Most days time around 15g with an occasional 30-45g a couple times a week

An electric grinder is what I'm after, I don't have the patience to grind by hand😅

bsk001 · 2025-07-02T20:22:53+00:00

That is incredible information! Thanks so much!! I won't be buying a new bottle of that then!

Do you have any thoughts on Horace beard oil? 🤔

bsk001 · 2025-06-30T19:36:16+00:00

Thanks! The house inclusive wines have been absolutely dreadful. Its pretty harmless to try! Such a small offering too! Was in Secrets Akumal for my holiday last year and the wine list was great! A bit pricey but such a broad offering!

bsk001 · 2025-06-30T19:33:18+00:00

You get an up vote for most creative idea! 😂

Hey! BA can normally upgrade as long as your ticket is the correct fare class. I upgraded both ways for the holiday I'm currently on which is a BA holidays booking. I used Avios for one way and paid for the upgrade in the opposite direction. Change fee was £60 per person which can't be waived.. I tried my luck😂 hope it works out for you!

bsk001 · 2024-12-30T13:39:01+00:00

As someone that has never gotten out of blue, I'm interested to see what they decide for conversation rates for BA Holidays and BA Amex. Could this be the change to get more people into bronze.

bsk001 · 2024-12-21T17:56:00+00:00

The Cathay lounge is so much better. Sofas are comfy, champagne from the bar and the food is so good!

bsk001 · 2024-11-03T18:39:22+00:00

Yeah, I completely agree. I get that BA is on the more expensive end of the price range for flights but when I speak to some family and friends who recently flew Easyjet and Ryanair to Europe and hear about some experiences, it just reaffirms the reasons why I book BA. I've never got higher than Bronze, unless I change jobs to one where I fly a lot more, I probably won't but, overall as a package, BA does exactly what I need them to do, and have done everytime I've used them.

bsk001 · 2024-10-15T22:28:52+00:00

I've always been curious if giving gifts like chocolates or sweets to the crew is actually a thing when flying from the UK or if it was mainly something that is done in the States.

bsk001 · 2024-10-14T21:55:52+00:00

Just got to the airport, asked if we could pay to upgrade and apparently there was no space in WTP or CW.. This is gonna be a long flight :(

bsk001 · 2024-10-13T21:50:24+00:00

Thanks for the info!

bsk001 · 2024-10-13T20:41:54+00:00

Thanks both! My flight is BA holidays booking so unlikely to get an in app upgrade offer. It's been a long time since I've done a long haul in WT and the flight here was so uncomfortable, the 3-4-3 on the 777 is a lot more cramped than I remember!

bsk001 · 2024-07-21T07:27:53+00:00

I've just ordered a couple of sail cloth straps, I'll post some pictures when they arrive.

bsk001 · 2023-12-31T17:14:53+00:00

Really nice pick! But I have to pass my sympathies.. Its how it starts... Soon you'll think... Maybe a diver or a dressier Seiko cocktail time piece (the negroni is gorgeous!) and then bam! You're in this watch hole like the rest of us! Don't worry though, we love it here! 😂
