I'm still uploading photos, so it will probably be tomorrow before the first few posts are tidied up. I hadn't realised that BA50 (JNB-LHR) has nearly identical timings to BA42 (DUR-LHR), which is one of the furthest day time flights operated by BA (BKK is 50 miles longer than DUR, PVG is 150 miles shorter). But on the DUR-LHR service it's a full breakfast and full dinner service on the new CW menu format. I enjoyed the food, but the issue isn't so much the country, as the kitchen allocated for the service. I don't know, but I guess BA had to create a kitchen arrangement at DUR since there are very few other international service departing that airport, EK being the only longhaul. So that may well make it different to JNB and CPT.
