My experience was in early December. I was one of only two in the cabin on the way down, and the only on the way back. So plenty of attention from a lovely and experienced crew doing the same-day turnaround from GRU after/before rest from/to ZRH.
Plenty of LP Grande Siecle, so from a wine standpoint, full F.
Food from GRU was limited to croissants and some chocolates… so that was disappointing. Less even than a C flight in Europe that’s nearly 3 hours. I forget what was offered on the EZE-GRU leg (other than of course still the full assortment of First Class beverages). I think that time there was a small lunch of sorts, but not memorable as I don’t really remember it.
If this is a new segment for them, perhaps the very limited catering on my GRU-EZE in December was a temporary situation that has since been resolved. At least one can hope so. A proper breakfast/brunch service would be sensible.
When I used to do this tag-on with the BA247/246 10-15 years ago, I remember the catering from EZE always to be better than the catering from GRU, so maybe it has to do with the offerings (and time of day) at each airport.
