I am going to go against the grain here. I would rather have the wifi and the power points in my seat than the food tray & drink, I have lounge access though and a GCH so paying for a specific seat never bothered me and if I was really hungry (Unlikely) I would just BoB as long as something replaced this cut back? I wonder how many people other than the folk of FT are fussed about the food aspect if they got wifi and seat power instead?
as CWS says I think he did answer the questions put to him albeit in a roundabout way. Just my opinioon mind.
