Yes, there were the three choices. CE was quite full, maybe because they were selling upgrades at the counter, so I don't know if they still had all three choices by the time they reached the back of the cabin.

Good point! Most probably the explanation ^

I am travelling LGW-NCE departing LGW at 14:05. What will be the meal offerings in Club Europe? I suspect it will be afternoon tea....but are alternatives offered?

The only alternatives are if you order a special meal. If you don't do that, it's sandwiches, scones and cake.

New snack boxes in EuroTraveller made their début yesterday, I think it's typically band 3 you see these but they appear on some band 2 flights as well. I think that from post one, if you see Flatbread or Urban Eats, this is what you get. This replaces the Peak Bakery boxes. As you can see, the styling is quite attractive and certainly impressed some Spaniards irrop'd off an Iberia service.



The apple and cinnamon muffin is quite sticky (and more-ish), best eaten with a spoon if you have one to hand. Not as big as the sticky Peak buns, but still a reasonable size.

Do BA have to comply with some kind of extended international labelling laws because they supply that sandwich/muffin product on flights to a range of territories? Does this mean BA have to list every single ingredient of every constituent part whereas on a similar product just sold in a UK supermarket say, some of the ingredients listed here would be omitted?

Otherwise how do they possibly manage to cram that many ingredients into a sandwich and a muffin?! I know they have to travel and survive for a decent period, but surely so do Supermarket/M&S sandwiches and am sure they don't have SO many ingredients!

Hi All,

I am on the 09:10 flight out of BHD in the morning. Does this flight still fall within the time limit for the hot breakfast?

Apologies if this has been answered previously. I am usually on the 07:Something flight so am not sure about the catering on the later morning flight.


Cheers

I've decided to pop to Nice for one night next week on a reward saver in CE - my mates are out there for the Euros and i've got a free day so fancy joining for a few bevvies!

It's a 7am flight out and a 7am flight back the next morning (LHR-NCE-LHR).

I assume a hot breakfast is on the cards on both legs?

I'm astonished anyone would actually look forward to a CE breakfast.

Maybe I'm just spoiled lol.

There's nothing wrong with the CE breakfasts, but you can always find better things to eat in the lounge (at LHR at least).
