I should have done more research prior to booking it, as I was in for a shock.
Dinner was either a panini or a sandwich. I realize it is a 2 AM flight, but with Swiss Airlines for example, you get at least a decent and presentable light meal. Breakfast was an even greater insult. Either scrambled eggs that looked like mash potatoes or a soggy omlette.
I wasn’t really following what was happening with BA since the pandemic started as I moved to Dubai. But things appear to be really bad!
EK for me next time!
I have to say that since time immemorial the SOP for those direct overnight flights ex BAH, AUH, DXB was to eat properly in town, home or hotel before leaving for the airport and then sleep on the plane all the way through with perhaps coffee and fruit before landing.
You won't get a decent breakfast on board as they can't serve proper bacon or sausages or anything containing pork. Best to have a shower and breakfast in Arrivals.
I'd agree that there is no excuse for not serving something decent for those with different plans - or alternatively, stay up all night and prop up the bar on EK!
