I've been on many a short haul flight where my fellow passengers have refused the complimentary food and drink.
Yes, HIDDY, that all makes perfect sense, but the problem is BA haven't lowered the prices. So in effect, you're paying the inclusive price, plus having to fork out if you want something to eat! (prices on my most used route VIE-LHR haven't changed)

This change has absolutely nothing to do with increasing customer choice, it's just BA management being greedy. Unfortunately for them my money is going elsewhere.
