- Band 3 routes will no longer have a Hot Meal, replaced with Ploughman’s Tea

[1400-1659]



- Some Band 4 routes with a flight duration of 4+ hours change to Band 4B



- Band 4B routes will introduce a “Tea and Cake” pre-landing service
As memory serves dear old British Midland used to serve a slab of Jam and Cream Victoria Sponge on some routes - RAK, CMN, and AGA come to mind.

Is anyone flying this route in the near future

As others have noted, there is no option. Second, if the feedback was positive, why not axe the cooked breakfast across the board? That would save even more money delight even more passengers in the cabin.
Dear Ms Cassandra

As I do not have much of a sweet tooth - taking those tasteless Strawberry jams and cream off the menu is fine for me. i prefer salt to sweet. However, it is one more instance where you have to kick off. I am so so so bored with BA and their nasty little devaluations in service, Gone are hot cloths, gone are the menus, gone are the trimmings that allowed them to call an Economy seat something tarty. You are all too young to remember that going thought the curtain brought you to an airline Narnia. At least they have not decided to go from Champagne to the vile equivalents (what is exported is revolting - what they keep domestically is like chalk and cheese). as the fur would really fly,

One feels somewhat like Mme Thenadier

I used to dream
That I would meet a prince
But God Almighty,
Have you seen what's happened since?

Happy New Year
