大流行从我们这里带走了很多。与亲人,社交互动,经济稳定以及...在飞机上喝精美葡萄酒的时间?航空公司的业务比平常少,CNN报告,大多数人禁止飞行中的酒水,以减少空姐与客户互动的时间。(我怀疑这也是为了减少机上放荡。)这意味着有很多指定的飞机葡萄酒无处可去 - 这就是为什么美国航空公司试图将多余的产品直接出售给人们的房屋的原因。

新计划称为美国航空旗舰地窖,将允许顾客在瓶子的“策划”案件中或通过瓶子购买葡萄酒每月$ 99-订阅计划每月三瓶运输。美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报告说,否则该葡萄酒将被美国航空公司(American Airlines)的“旗舰”门票提供给顾客 - 从基本上来说,最奇特的座位选择金钱可以在国际和跨大陆航班上购买。

American Airlines told CNN that it estimates the new program will bring in up to $50,000 in revenue during the first three months of 2021. And that’s totally fine—I can understand why a massive operation would want to protect its bottom line in a time of crisis. It’s just that the rest of American’s messaging is a little fishy. “Though revenue is important, Flagship Cellars is more so a way of engaging with customers, even when they are not traveling with us,” a spokesperson told CNN. “It also gives them a taste of what you can enjoy in Flagship First or Flagship Business.” Sure, I guess. I may not be able to go to work, see my friends, make future plans, or spend time basking in my favorite local businesses, but at least I can get a taste of pricey plane wine. What I’d really like, though, is a shipment of lukewarm ginger ale and some Biscoff wafers. Now那是奢华。
