I flew ATH-AMS with KL in biz back before they upgraded their Euro-biz offerings and even then it was a nice dinner on that route.
I agree with you warm is nice. And indeed the C meal on this route by lx is indeed very good, but to be honest so it is on AF even before the changes- would include little galettes which AF use instead of nuts, then starter then hot main (my last was a pan seared seabass with champagne sauce, orzo pasta-for some reason AF seems to have a permanent fascination with orzo pasta
- and fine beans, a small plate with two pieces of cheese, dessert and them a "cafe gourmand" (meaning disgusting coffee with delicious chocolates from cluziel and valrhona. To me where AF have blatantly weak in c was more flights lasting 1h30-3hr. I also think that AF is ok in y on that length- it is cold and I would prefer warm but much larger than the lx version you get a main course salad much like ba ce band 1-2 ones before the change a piece of cheese, bread butter and then a largish pack of biscuits.
