Just fly VN and BYO Krug and Dom, and keep the change.

What about CX or MU?

Can you actually BYO?

Can you actually BYO?

No. It it standard for airlines to ban BYO alcohol consumption in their Conditions of Carriage, for VN it is clause 12.2:

12.2. Passengers are not permitted to consume alcoholic beverages on our flights unless served by us. We reserve the right to refuse to serve, or to remove, any alcoholic beverages already served to the passenger.

This is the consumption not served by us but does that prohibit you from BYO and giving the bottle to the airline to serve you?

They do ridiculously well out of the Antipodean market. In business class I did 2 work trips to SIN-LHR return this year, my partner did 1 to AU and 1 to NZ from SIN. He got more PPS dollars out of those trips than I did.

At the other - non glamourous - end of the spectrum I've yet to see a reasonable economy fare from SIN-MEL return cheaper than we paid to travel to NYC and back in premium economy (other than use it or lose it fares that were 8 months in advance, and no changes allowed).
