I am always somewhat amused when I see U.S. pax complaining about food service on intra-european biz class flights. Have the U.S. pax forgotten that they are lucky to get a bag of snack mix in FC for a flight under 2 hours.?
I fly AF biz class a couple of times a year r/t CDG/VCE. I wouldn't call this a Michelin 1* restaurant, but on a flight which is about an hour and 45 minutes, the tray is quite satisfactory and wines, red, white and champagne are generously proffered. Also-- not in the mood for wine: AF keeps a little stash of other libations on the cart (e.g. vodka, scotch). Moreover, FA's in Biz on those particular flts are just as nice as can be.
