Well, the reductions can definitely be seen, but it wasn`t too bad IMO. Both flights were operated by Norra (E190). On the outward flight a breakfast was served. It was quite simple and slightly disappointing; cheese slices, cold cutlets, bread or croissant, youghurt, pieces of fruits, musli and the normal selection of drinks. The Champagne was the gold old Joseph Perrier.

On the return flight I had a lunch, which I find slightly better: a salad with smoked salmon and dark or white bread. The salmon salad was actually pretty tasty and the portion was decent sized. The dessert was reduced to two pieces of Fazer chocolate. That`s OK for me, because I`m not so keen on the desserts or anything sweet. The normal drinks were available again. Also the stronger liquors seems to be available on request, though not mentioned on the menu.

Btw. If you are ordering a beer, be careful that you’ll get ”the real stuff”. The normal and the non-alcohol A. Le Coq cans looks very same and the FA`s were handing out the wrong ones all the time. 🍺😀

The occupancy on J was surprisingly high, around 8-10 pax both ways. The front lavatories still not in use. All in all, my expectations were pretty low, so I wasn`t too disappointed. I somehow understand the dire situation of the company and the whole industry, so the reduced service is somewhat the only choice.
