An Emirates flight attendant has been captured on video appearing to pour champagne from a glass back into a bottle at the back of business class.
The footage, captured by a business class passenger, showed the Emirates air hostess with a champagne flute in one hand and champagne bottle in the other. She then pours the contents of the glass into the bottle.
According to The Independent, the video was recorded by Russian passenger Yevgeny Kaymov. Mr Kaymov posted the video on his Instagram account with the caption. “I accidentally filmed this video, and didn’t even notice this moment at the time, pouring unfinished champagne back into the bottle. Is that normal practice Emirates?”
The video shared online has gone viral, with many viewers split over what the flight attendant was actually doing. On a Reddit thread about the video, one contributor said: “I’m a flight attendant – the attendant is probably pouring the unused champagne back in the bottle before take-off to then dispose of once the plane takes off.”
