American Airlines to Offer Free Alcohol on Select Flights

Feature

It’s no secret free alcoholic beverages are one of the perks of flying select international airlines, but on some flights this complimentary treat is limited to the beer and wine menu. American Airlines plans to expand their international beverage service to also include spirits, meaning cocktails at 35,000 feet just became a benefit to flying American.

AA flights traveling to and from Japan, Sydney and Auckland will serve free spirits to all passengers, a service that may help ease the stress and anxiety surrounding the long journey across the Pacific Ocean. On all other international flights to Europe, Asia and certain destinations in Central and South America, American will continue to serve complimentary beer, wine and meals.

With this new service, American joins the ranks of other domestic carriers like Delta, which offers passengers free wine, beer and spirits on all international and some domestic flights. United Airlines serves free wine and beer on long-haul international flights, but passengers must purchase liquor.

Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past

I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.
