There's a nice article in today's Guardian from a 'once in a lifetime' Concord passenger
here. Surprised that a kir royale could not be served - surely they could have used some of fbgdavidson's Ribena.
More importantly, the accompanying report on VS vs. BA states that 'Sleep is uppermost on BA Club World customers' minds and in response, BA will be trialling a 'sleeper service' on
16 overnight flights from JFK to London Heathrow in October. Aimed at helping minimise red-eye,
customers will be encouraged to get their heads down for longer in the air by making greater use of pre- and post-flight dining in the lounges.'
Sounds like Pucci's threats could be true - how far will passengers be 'encouraged'?
There's also a good
article about BA's process for selecting in-flight food by chef Shaun Hill, who describes himself as 'financially and sartorially, an economy-class person...in first class it's only an impostor like me that sits there half the night drinking Krug'. Quite right!
