I flew a half dozen C+ segments in the last week alone, two of them 4 hour flights, and have to agree that there is some inconsistency. The first 4 hour flight only passed it once and never again, the second 4 hour flight was a midnight departure redeye and actually passed it three times. Maybe they figured it would be easier to pass it around to the few awake passengers?
Only 1 of the 4 ~2 hour flights had the snack basket in C+ but in all honesty, very little in the C+ snack basket interests me so I don't mind. The popcorn chips I've seen in F a few times lately are surprisingly good but I've never seen them make the cut to the C+ basket. Give me brownie brittle or give me nothing.
