Cost Cutting in Y?
Just flown EK406 from DXB to MEL in Y.
Small detail... but notice that no post take-off drinks run with those little savoury snack is offered immediately after take-off... instead the service starts immediately with the lunch service - whilst on my previous two flights there has been a drinks service before lunch.
Also noticed that the "As you Like it" is now only the veg. pizza - whilst previously also chocolate bars and fresh fruit were also offered. The chocolate bars and fruit were now only available if you collected them yourself from the galley.
Cost Cutting perhaps?
