So, sadly, don't expect FFD to come back anytime soon. FLs will probably come back when there are more international flights with qualifying pax, though no self-serve bulk buffet (it would have to be staffed), OR grab-and-go individual portions in containers.
That’s what I thought, just wanted to confirm.
I’d be interested in maybe doing a weekend trip to London to just hang in a nice hotel for a couple days. Seems like a decent use of some otherwise worthless miles and a couple nights in a lux hotel.
