Arrow Short haul catering guide



Since the beginning of the Winter 2013 timetable, you may have noticed one or two changes to the catering on board British Airways short haul flights. Information on previous onboard offerings can be found here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...2-13-beta.html

Catering in Club Europe and Euro Traveller is devised by bandings, dependent on the length of your flight. On UK Domestic, you get what you're given and be thankful for what you receive

We are most grateful to Littlegirl for once again coming to our aid and furnishing us with the very latest catering product information and providing a break down of bands and associated routes. So if you're not sure what to expect on your next short haul flight, all you need at hand is the departure time and the "band" your flight falls into.

The main purpose of this thread is to encourage discussion on BA catering, so please do use this thread to share your opinions and add your own experiences of BA's short catering. Your own reports, menu listings and photographs are most welcome - appending some basic info such as route, date of travel (approximate) and class of travel are very useful datapoints.

Thanks also to BotB, haasha, and HIDDY for providing background photography
