TBH I really wasn't expecting much - the BA flight is the only TATL service out of MSY and I don't imagine the locals are set up to provide what's really needed.
On the plus side, it seemed that not much of the booze had been consumed outbound, so I was fairly well lubricated for the rest of the flight
One of the nice things about the MSY-LHR flight is that it departs MSY late enough that you can eat some real food in New Orleans before the flight, or if you don't have the chance to do that, some almost real food at the airport at MSY before boarding (not the lounge, which is not great). Yes, it would be nice if the airplane food were equally satisfying, but it rarely is on any flight departing from any airport, so I'd rather shell out the money to eat the better food and then maximize my sleep on the flight.
