The cabins on the midhaul (ex bmi)321s are called Club World and World Traveller.
Apart from the DME, there is also a reduced Band 4 catering on certain flights, i.e. TIP, LPA, JMK,JTR,ALG and possibly other destinations , where no "safe" or reliable catering company can be sourced at the outstation.
At DME BA terminated the contract when it went to the 747/767 mix and now the 321 operates they can not just get a catering company for one daily flight at a reasonable cost.
I can only imagine the Cabin Crew must be very frustrated too offering such sub standard product. I believer they were told, that the Customers receive a letter at the Gate explaining the situation, but then again it is a bit late for that then, isn't it?
