Half of the flights we do are to Tenerife these days, and I've noticed some interesting service variations among the crews over the past couple of years on this route.

One of these is after take off when some crews will both do a bar run first, whereas others one will start the food and one will do the drinks. { One even didn't do a drinks run until they brought out the food. 🙄 }

To me the service standard should be drinks first on a flight of this length as the BA burger I had in the lounge will stop me from dying if I had to wait an extra 20 minutes for my food.

Another thing is that second knife and fork they give you in club Europe. To me the most useless weight on the aircraft. Heathrow finally dropped them last year, but the Gatwick caterers still haven't got the memo. 🙄


What's your thoughts? Also have you observed any differences in service standards.
