I found it quite interesting.. traveled DTW-LGW-DTW in the past week;
DTW-LGW in WBC;
Stainless fork and spoon, plastic knife with the combined appetizer/salad/dinner course. Asked the FA about the plastic knife, and she said she thought it was because the flight was going to London.
BUT, they served the dessert course [cheese/dessert] with another silverware wrap.. and... it had a stainless knife.. both myself and the FA were in awe.
on the return trip LGW-DTW in WBC;
ALL PLASTIC FOR ALL COURSES...
Go figure....
