Cocktails At 35,000 Feet

Soaring through the sky somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, perhaps an hour after leaving Hong Kong on a flight to Los Angeles, a loaded, legit cocktail cart comes rolling out for service. This is about as far from the standard in-flight routine — where you’re grateful to keep the whole can of soda to refill your plastic cup with bottom-shelf whiskey and Coke — as you can get.

This is luxe in-flight drinking, with signature cocktails ready to be mixed up at your beckoning. You can partake of quality spirits such as Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve scotch whisky and Hine Rare VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac, or prestigious wine vintages and varietals, served in real glassware. When it comes to drinking in style while soaring above the clouds, your best bet is choosing the right long-haul international carrier and upgrading your seat. Consider it an investment in sheer, giddy travelling happiness.
