Is there any pattern, or any way to predict OF on a particular flight( I had NF on same route 3years ago) ?
Well it was NF. And poor service too (only 4 pax in F). No greet at the door ("turn left"); no crew visits into the cabin for about 5 hours (day flight), busy reading the papers when I went past (chose to get own water); always handed me the paper coaster, then the champagne, for me to place on the side table (small point, but this supposed to be first class); we both got the wrong starters, Mrs then got the wrong main too. I just finished my main when "20 minutes to landing" announced, Mrs half finished her main; no time for dessert or cheese. I got coffee 10 mins out, and a choice of 2 very small chocolates. No word on leaving, in fact I had to squeeze past one crew in the aisle busy packing his bag, not a word. Worth some Avios? although I suppose we could have asked for the meal earlier but we aren't bell-pushy types so just let it come.
