Raise a glass to oneworld - best alliance for wines

I'll credit Qantas, Iberia, and LATAM for this win.
oneworld is named the best alliance for wine in the 2017 Wines on the Wing survey published today by US magazine Global Traveler – regaining an award it previously won two years ago.

The result echoes the findings of the Cellars in the Sky awards presented by the UK’s Business Traveller in February this year – and retained by oneworld for multiple years – which means that oneworld’s now holds both awards presented to recognise the quality the wines served by member airlines of a global alliance.

Besides winning the “best alliance” title, oneworld’s member airlines also flew high in the Global Traveler Wines on the Wing awards – just as they did in Business Traveller’s Cellars in the Sky.

Get Your Fix

Where is your aviation navigational fix? If you have a 5 letter last name, the FAA will tell you where to find your fix. My fix is outside Montgomery, AL.

Photo Post - Air New Zealand

Both paint styles look good. The new black and white version is one of the best in the air.

Asahi Beer Machine at BKK

The airline lounges in Asia are better than the USA, even United Clubs. Don't waste your time at a United Club though, go Singapore or ANA (Thai if in a pinch). The food is superb and the beer machine pours a perfect drought.

Night Landing from Perth to JNB

The SAA A340-600 is antiquated on the inside, but still a nice plane to fly. I think it was the ample local wine than gave me a positive opinion.
