Yes, you are right. What I meant is that in this context, they could move to a snack-meal with the motivation that 95% of customers are not needing nor wanting a dinner meal, as they already ate something in the departure lounge, then again in the HEL lounge and then again 2 times on the longhaul.

Who would accept a microwave meal in an expensive restaurant that market itself as a luxurious experience?



Exactly.
You are absolutely right. I often talk about what happens to a brand when marketing is exaggerated. At some point customers will see through it and start to mistrust the entire brand.
"If this is what they call a 'luxurious meal', then I can easily figure out how to read 'punctual', 'safe' and all other keywords they are trying to associate with the brand"
