I guess, AMS-CPH was one of the flights to suffer from the cutbacks on short intraeuropean routes in BIZ.
Has the level of service improved lately ??

The catering in Y currently consists of a bar service plus a slice of typical Dutch cake or a small bag of nuts (although sometimes the FAs will give everybody both, presumably because it is a lot faster than asking each pax for their preference). I believe that newspapers will be reintroduced at the end of this month.

I find the catering in C quite acceptable for a one hour flight, both in quantity and quality. What exactly you get presumably depends on the time of day. On a recent 14h25 flight a chicken curry salad was served with a side dish and a choice of rolls, followed by dessert.

According to the latest FD News :

"On flights of up to 70 minutes, European Business Class passengers will be served a cold meal on a porcelain plate, with a hot roll, several side dishes served on a tray and an extensive drink service with both hot and cold beverages."

I assume "70 minutes" refers to block time, not flying time, so that the service on short flights will be similar to that on longer flights (e.g. AMS-CPH, which has a block time of 1h30, although flying time normally is just over 1h)
