From what I’ve seen, there will be no difference between Band 3 & 4 from September 12th onwards. The “rest of the day” service in both cases will consist of a pre-meal bar round with a snack, followed by a meal service which consists of a single tray with all the course elements on it.
This is partly to streamline the service (it was taking too long on some of the shorter “Long” flights with very high Club loads, and sometimes impossible on the Madrid 777 Service with a full First and CW Cabin) - and partly because the newly densified Airbus aircraft will simply not have the space to accommodate all the equipment needed for the current Long and Long Long service with Club at maximum occupancy.
That’s the word on the street anyway !
