Macaroons would be nice as an alternative to the cake.

Please no! I appreciate that you can never please everyone but I can't think of anything more disgusting!

Yes, breakfast is served on flights leaving up to 0930.

Scheduled to depart up to 9.30 to be pedantic, ie a 9.20am flight leaving an hour late due to delays will still serve breakfast.

I think that was implied in my answer! Would they take brunch as well just in case you were delayed so they could swap?

I can tell you are going to be difficult this weekend in Jersey

Or to be more pedantic, only until 9.30am (according to the first post in this thread)......

Anything leaving after 9.29am gets Brunch

Oi! Lol.

You said "depart" up to 9.30. Departure as in 'push back' or 'wheels up' isn't what counts. Scheduled departure is the key. You know that. And I was just refining your answer.

And yes, it's 9.29 actually.

Have to say this thread isn't filling me full of confidence for my looming 9pm departure from MUC.

I'm hungry and the chickpea balls and dried potato wedges in the Galleries Lounge aren't doing much for me. Cant wait for my 'salad'.

Does anyone have an updated short haul drinks list?

Sadly the port no longer exists in Club -that's what I use to sleep on Band 4s!

There is hot chocolate and Baileys in Club on Band 4s. What else could you possibly need to sleep?

Well, there used to be macaroons in GF but frankly, they were not very good ones (shame as good macaroons are amazing IMHO). That said, almost any change to the afternoon tea - including bringing in poor macaroons - would be an improvement.

That's an unusual cocktail.
