I can see that any airline would want to minimise waste, but it must be a balancing act between loading too much/not enough food (or LPGS!). How far out do airlines have to order the meals from their suppliers? Can late bookings/changes have a major effect? We generally hear on here when things go wrong - there must be many more flights when the plans work out?
