💨 Abstract

Former British Airways flight attendants revealed that due to customs regulations, any opened bottle of alcohol in first class, regardless of how much is left, must be discarded upon landing. This rule is "heartbreaking," especially when expensive bottles are barely touched. The airline complies with regulations, ensuring only full-fare paying passengers receive priority for drinks. Staff traveling on discounted tickets may not get their preferred drinks if opening a new bottle isn't practical near the flight's end.
