For a flight roughly 10 minutes shorter, forget the nice looking chicken and pappardelle and you will only get the shrimp of wakame starter as your sole 'meal' (or the whole or half toastie instead if you prefer) alongside a smaller dessert.

Of course, you have to put the limit 'somewhere', but I am still of the opinion that the gap is truly excessive. Many of us have often suggested that if instead, medium flights kept the main dish and dessert as opposed to the tiny starter and dessert (let alone the tiny sandwiches you get on afternoon tea flights which are frankly ghastly), complaints about the new CE would reduce quite significantly. I still believe that it is the case and I hope that at one point, BA will end up hearing us.
