>>> No, friend works for AF, says all is metal, with 3 exceptions...
These are general guidelines:
1. To/from the UK, all plastic. Silverware is usually full metal otherwise within Europe
2. To/from/within the US, no metal knife. My suspicions

are that AA and others are just being cheap by going to all plastic and using safety as an excuse. More so in Business/First, this is very, very tacky!
3. Australia, no metal knife. I believe other metal is allowed.
These are the only countries that impose these restrictions that I know of, with the UK being the most strict, as always...
I am not sure about New Zealand...
