1. The plates, glassware & cutlery are all plastic which I brought for myself and family. Flutes £3, ‘Cut glass’ tumbler £6.50, cutlery/napkin set £0.50 each, plates £0.40 each.
2. the crew served my drinks in my glasses for the duration.
3. they offered to plate up the box of food for me. I plated up for my wife and children.
4. they offered to wash my glasses for me.
5.aircraft was a 777 both ways from LGW
It all started as a bit of a challenge to see if I could get all the bits. Then it became a case of I’m paying £X, BA aren’t providing a proper service so rather than moan or get frustrated I’ll just fix it myself.
worth it? Probably, feels a bit better to have cutlery that doesn’t shatter in my hand! I would definitely do it for future flights too.
