From what I could work out both transactions I watched we're on cards, one on a BA Amex and neither would go through despite being tried on two of the machines. The solution was eventually found by manually entering all of the card details.



Got to row 3 of ET by the time we'd started our descent and had served 2 people. I'd estimate the revenue at under £10...

Product looked ok, apart from the coffee which appeared to be identical as pre-bob only in designer paper cups.

Crew looked embarrassed but were friendly enough when I asked how it was going.
Surely at £2.30 the coffee has got to be bigger than pre-BOB? Surely?? Someone humour me....
