I just telephoned a cool lady to order a bottle of bubbly ( moet though yuk ) and a cake for my Dads 60th on our PE MAN to MCO.

I forgot to ask though if it was ok for the captain to make an announcement ( Duh ) this would thrill my dad, should I ring back or do they do that automatically for celebration orders, if at all.

if you don't ask you don't get -ring them, you've nowt to loose. Maybe ask for a cabin crew to do it rather than El Capitano - maybe easier for them to accomodate. If all else fails suggest you ask the most outgoing crew member on the flight
What a loving and thoughtful son you are. Well done

I think you are lovely too!!

Best to just ask the crew on the day, have a word with the FSM or CSS. They will know if the Captain is willing to do a PA, if not, either of them will be more than willing.

BTW the cake is DELICIOUS ;)

What number should you ring? My out-laws are going out to MCO on Monday and we're following out to meet them one week later. Normally I wouldn't even contemplate a holiday with them but Pops (father-in-law) has been really ill with his diabetes and has had to be medically retired so I invited them along to give him somethihg to be cheerful about and focus his recovery on. I'd like to surprise them with some well wishes if possible.

Ta muchly,

Jacq :)

Thanks for this info egg. The Rear Admiral and I have a celebratory flight coming up (10 years of purgatory!) and it may be nice if I could arrange a little something along these lines for her.
