Because AI's product doesn't magically change on longhaul. Same seats, same catering...

I did not say that it makes up for it. I said that the actual menu is what is normally shown to passengers. The printout is not supposed to be shown.

The passenger asked for a snack. What was shown in that picture is definitely snacks.

Yes. However, the salad doesn't looked like a sliced tomato

The tablecloth doesn't look used, it just looks wrinkled. It should have been ironed, yes, but there isn't dirt on it or something.

In F? Have you flown this flagship F product, and have they plonked down dishes without removing the clingfilm? In the trip report, that definitely didn't happen.
In Y, I'm not sure what else you would expect

Indeed. Very classy.

You clearly haven't seen the meal presentation on a lot of other airlines if you think that this isn't elegant. It's nicely presented for the most part.

It looks wonderful to me. I sure would rather be flying in that than back in cattle class.

Please find one post of mine where I say that AI is the [i]most fantastic[i] airline in the world, and you might have a point.
But, oh yeah. There is a problem - I never actually said that.
