Thanks Littlegirl. The first post needs to be corrected in this case. I am waiting to board BA363 LYS-LHR just now so will soon be able to see what I get at dinner time.

Just had a look and it looks right to me.
Were you looking at the correct time range.

You should receive a single wrap and your choice of drinks from the bar and tea and coffee.

Hope you enjoy your flight.

Nice guide! ...but what happened to band 3A/3B? Blended in to one perchance? Or am I going nuts?

Yes, flights still do fall into two categories for some internal bar loadings but for catering, they are the same now.

Thank you all for a very comprehensive piece of work ^

Is Lea & Perrins loaded on all bars ? The Lufty offer of "would you like some salt and pepper with that, sir ?" doesn't really cut it

Yes, we carry Lea and Perrins on all flights in all cabins.

Interestingly, German passengers drink the most Tomato juice of all the nationalities, particularly in the morning, but very rarely ask for Lee and Perrins.

Thank you, I am much relieved. I love tomato juice, with or without vodka, but definitely with L&P ... and Tabasco, etc.

Interesting, I'd have put the Germans down for apple juice.

Unfortunately we don't carry Tabasco. ( I think they do in First Class though, can't quite remember!).

Do you put butter on after Jam?

There you see - it's simple.

Date or Lemon Scones. - I still think that best thing with this tea service is to bin it. It looks what it is - cheap and quite nasty.

Hmmm! Both my flights out of Chicago this year have been L&P free. I suspect someone at Gate Gourmet has been singling out my flights with the sole purpose of messing with my head. I'm not suggesting they did single me out, but if they did, and do you know what? They definitely did! And did they mess with my head? They most certainly did!!!

5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - and relax….

The first post says a wrap on a 1500 band 2 flight. Should be a snack.

Unfortunately if crew don't return the Lee and Perrins to it's original stowage on long-haul US flights in particular, they get off loaded and are then discarded due to US food laws.

I know that WW crew are very particular about stowing the Lee and Perrins where the next crew can find it because it is very annoying if you have none.

It sounds like you were unlucky with the inbound crew on your Chicago.

I think the afternoon tea is wrong for band 2 - it definately wasn't a wrap yesterday and today from TXL in Eurotraveller.

I do find the list really useful and thank you for taking the time/trouble in doing it.
