None of the other stuff inspired me. And there's no way I am paying €6.50 for a little bottle of Carlsberg, the worst beer this side of the galaxy. Even if they paid me, I wouldn't drink it
For the second flight, CPH-GVA, I pre-ordered a fish meal for €11. It turned out to be a cold meal, with potatoes that hadn't been cooked properly, lentil like rabbit foody bits and a few strips of uncooked salmon. I think it was supposed to be uncooked, must be a Danish thing. But I ate it because I was hungry. Felt queasy afterwards, though. Told the cabin crew it was really awful, would never order that swill again (practically nobody touched the BoB menu and certainly nobody ordered those pre-order meals apart from me, on a full flight). The cabin crew got really concerned and started offering me this and that from the BoB trolley, which is pretty good service recovery (hello, British Airways). They were really sweet, actually, and I accepted a chicken and mushroom sandwich to scoff later (really felt a bit dodgy after that pre-ordered cold meal). But once again, I can't believe they're charging €7 for two half bits of sandwich, just like the ones you get in Economy on KLM.
Why the hell can't the airlines just offer proper service?? All it would take is €10-15 extra on the ticket.
The only BOB food I eat on SK is the polar roll, very tasty IMO it's a flat bread roll. Nothing gourmet but it's tasty...
That being said having flown now mostly KLM/AF Y and J flights I can say it leaves one very relaxed and happy compared with AY J/SK Y+/ba J on shorthaul.
Cant comment on LH yet but next week I will be wiser.... SK used to offer Mikkler beers which were awesome! I can't drink Carlsberg or Heineken for that matter unless ICECOLD!
