Lunch at 11am then no service whatsoever in J for the next 10 hours until the light meal 2 hours before landing. If you wanted a drink you had to go to the gallery.

I can’t think of a more miserable flight I have taken but I’m sure there is worse. Suggestions here for the worst BA flight / route.

We are planning a trip to Japan next year, and have been clear from the outset that it will be a Japanese carrier taking us there, not BA. The stories from that route with BA are pretty damning.
