Unless I really haven’t been paying attention there was a very different service on BA279 today to the usual F service. It looked like they were trying out some new items. The crockery and menu definitely seemed a step up (more starter options, more substantial 2nd meal service) and a patterned design on plates, saucers and tea pots. The PJs were definitely different to usual as they were black Temperley ones with no BA branding. All different to my last few F flights in the last week.

Was this a trial or something new that I missed in the news?
