ah so your argument is that there isn’t enough time to enjoy a full breakfast as long as ba keep the ba way of doing things? A bit of a circular argument IMHO, a bit like saying a year that it’s impossible to make club world food enjoyable justifying that by their existing self imposed constraints at the time. As we now know and agree, it was possible to make cw food enjoyable by reorganising both service and costs and ba have.

IMHO, the £500 is a red herring. It is a difference between the two services, but it is not a cause of impossibility. The majority of C pax on both LHR-MAN and SYD-CBR are connecting by the way so the price people (not me) are willing to pay on a o/d flight for the pleasure of flying C is irrelevant to them (us). The size of the cabin is another red herring in my view: QF also does it on SYD-MEL which is barely longer with 767s and BA used to do it for the entire 767 cabin on LHR-EDI with full three course meals in all Y config.

Now it’s perfectly fine for you to feel you wouldn’t enjoy a different meal on that route, but it doesn’t mean the rest of us would not.
