On the routes taken over by Do&Co, in fairness, there is a bit more originality. For instance, my menu this week had a rather nice lamb cutlet and shoulder duo, and the pasta dish was also a bit more original (artichoke and truffle). They are due to take over from the current provider on other routes in 2020.

My complaint with the Do&Co menu on the other hand is that the afternoon snack which used to offer a nice salad or tapas plate alternative to sandwiches has now been (seemingly permanently) enhanced to the extremely tiresome and uninteresting band 1/2 choice of mediocre sandwiches or never changing and very unhealthy ploughman. In fairness, I have the same complaint on the European band 1/2 flights on which this is offered too - always the same with no exception. But it is also a great shame that this has now contaminated the long haul flights which used to have a nicer second meal when Do&Co took over at first.
