Thanks NoY. It was supposed to be more or less eggs benedict. I taste as bad as it looks.

You're right. Not the best meal to be served more than 15 hours after being prepared. It's a meal to be cooked on order. Thanks for your comment.

It depends on the fare paid. I think the price I paid is paid for 6 legs in Business. I would not pay more for it. WTP is fine, I tried it 2 years ago to DXB.

Only flew Business once on a long haul (sorry, I´m a snob) and even if I never flown J or even F this time before, I was not impressed. So I think the Overall judgement is fair.
Many Thanks Offerendum! BA is outranked by QR by a mile and many airlines around like AF.
Air France improved their service for both hard and soft and now give you a run of your money.

I fly CW all the time and I don't do it for the experience - I do it for the non-experience - i.e., I get on a plane, have dinner, watch a movie or read if I want to and have time, then wake up in time for breakfast, after which I am functional at my destination.
