Judging by CE enhancements, mozerella and tomato slices or paninis and a bread roll all round!
florens and LCSinTexas like this.

Out of interest, if you go into MMB, does it let you pre order your main course? If so, would you mind posting the menu?!

Is there a schedule for when other routes will receive these improvements?

No but there will not be any other routes until 2018.

"It will be rolled out to the rest of our long haul network during 2018"

Perfect - thanks. I'll be interested to see. I know they're not necessarily earth shattering changers to many FTers, but coming back from NYC all I am usually interested in is a good night's sleep, so this is actually for me a non neglgible difference.

Will report back next month...

No, I certainly tend to agree with you on the mattress, duvet, and hopefully better pillows. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the F version of all of the above will be upgraded too.

30 days before was what it said. So not yet. If I remember nearer the time will happily post it. I usually don't bother pre-ordering. Sometimes main course roulette is the only little frisson of entertainment you get if you've done a block of trips and seen all the movies ;-)

Indeed, and as commented there, I think it looks nice. I'd pick the Dover sole on the menu over a fish pie personally (even though the latter arguably tends to work well on planes)

I really do hope this is a genuine enhancement. I have a BA JFK-LHR on 6th September so actually looking forward to see if BA can deliver on the promises. They can keep the catering enhancements - I only want/need sleep.
