VIE-FCO - HG or AB service?
I'm on VIE-FCO-VIE flights sold under AB flights numbers (8720/8729) in couple of days. According to all sources (including AB/HG website), this is operated by AB rather than HG, even though it's ex-VIE flight. However, FlightRadar24 shows these flights to be operated by aircraft registered in Austria.
Interestingly enough, when I checked couple of days ago, meal pre-order was available on outbound flight but not on inbound (despite inbound being marginally longer), suggesting HG service on outbound and AB service on inbound flight.
Does anyone knows if this is indeed AB service (with airbistro), or HG service (i.e. free snack only)? If so, are hot BOB items (e.g. chicken curry) available on such short flights (scheduled time is 95 minutes)?
