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.
Meh, I didn't find it too bad. On the outbound the WiFi was great and I achieved a lot. Also I think I just relished being 'still' for 14+ hours.
On the return, it didn't work at all which makes it loong and boring, but at no point did I get hungry on either...but I'm beginning to think I have a smaller appetite than most.
Complained about the Wifi (in a polite, 'I'm-not-expecting-compensation' kinda way), more that it was inconvenient and got a response saying that it's a complementary service and to suck it up (my words, not theirs). I politely responsed that a) I'd have happily paid for wifi proper, b) I think many business travellers would consider it more than just a complementary luxury, and c) it's 2024.
