Generally not as good as BA, including one shocker of a crew member coming back from GRU:

IB has a help yourself selection of snacks for J pax in the galley. I went to the forward galley/toilet area and helped my self to a chocolate from an open box, only to have a female crew member spit vitriole at me. She had a look of pure hatred in her expression, because I had taken a crew cohocolate. I apologised profusely, mainly out of shock because I thought she was going to offload me there and then (an hour out of MAD). I later snapped this photo of her http://www.unexplainedstuff.com/imag...01_img0141.jpg, although she had calmed down a bit by then.

Anyway, I proceeded to the loo, locked the door, and half way through my pee, she unlocked it from the outside and barged in and grabbed her crummy old mobile that she was charging in there, presumably because she thought I was going to steal it too.

The SFO-LHR marathon is this Thursday, so the chocolate toilet incident has not completly put me off, but I did consider going WT+ on BA for about the same price.
