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 Instagram story.
“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.
“At the end of every flight, we throw away all the open bottles of champagne so it can’t be used for the next flight,” Kinch said, filming himself throwing in the last trash, which can cost from $50 to $140 per flight. of cork, according to the Veuve Clicquot site. “We open a new bottle just before we serve it to the customer.”
But not to worry, thrifty folk.

Kamila Jakubjakova, also an Emirates flight attendant, recently revealed some secrets to earning privileged benefits while sitting in the back of the plane.
“Sometimes, if someone maybe didn’t get their preferred meal choice and then complained and made a big fuss about it, we’d bring them a business class meal instead to soften the blow,” the employee said. of the skyway.
She also, on special occasions, covers the vacationers with special goods.
“If I were to see a honeymoon, I would bring them some extra food from business class,” Jakubjakova said. “Like, for example, a dessert or a glass of champagne and try to make their flight more special, even if they fly economy.”
Sweet gestures, however, are a courtesy — not a certainty — when it comes to flight attendants.
And one surefire way to get out of the running for first-class stuff is to be too flirtatious, warns in-flight expert Destanie Armstrong.
“There have been many times when men have hit on me thinking I’m going to upgrade them to first class because they told me I was pretty,” said the flight attendant and content creator, 25.
“I literally died — — I looked at him and said, ‘Oh, I’m not going to take that compliment right now because I know you’re just trying to use me for first class.’
