A few times - but not even that rare, I'd say about 1 in 5 - the crew would even ask if I'd like a C meal (I would never ask myself about a C meal, just asking if they had any spare Y meals) - especially with younger crews were some of them haven't even been to the destination, and were happy to hear some advice about what to do there. So I can't back the comments that were made above, about LX being stingy, at least not in long haul. But yeah, with the new BoB concept on SH and their new squeeze-me-tight 777s long haul, I will definitely pick them way too seldom to have any meaningful amount of flights anymore.

I remember one time where they even brought me a second leftover tray for me to eat in Euro J because I was still hungry. Good times

Obviously in longhaul F that is never a problem...
Yes fair enough guys, we, I anyway, are probably being a bit hard and unsporting on them. But I've had one too many duff crews in longhaul premium cabins to want to throw any more bookings their way. Back to BoB and others here have implied that we need to adapt concerning BoB and other developments and that is indeed right, no point in endlessly complaining and grumbling about it. This morning I had an excellent flight with Eurowings (DUS-GVA) and happily used the BoB offer (was even offered a free coffee refill!)
