Please post all images of A3's food and beverage offerings in both Economy and Business Class, both domestic and international routes.

A posting hint:
The maximum image resolution that FT can cope with is 800 x 600. Posting images beyond this limit pushes them beyond the page margins, making the visual appearance of the thread disjointed and very difficult for everyone to read.

There are on-line tools for most image storage sites which provide alternative links for reduced sized images - please use these prior to posting to reduce work in having to request users edit their posts. Thanks.

Haven't posted here in a while. A few of my recent flights between AMS/DUS and ATH below.

The quinoa seems to become a common starter.



Beef on potato mash



And one of my favorite desserts: A very creamy and tasty semolina halva

Appetizer and mains on served at the same time - not great as the main is cold when you finish the appetizer.



Had to go for the chicken on pasta as the fish option was already gone. In many cases they literally have both options 50/50 only, meaning that if the fish is popular..you're out of luck when you sit on row 2 (our of 3).

Salmon instead of chicken on the appetizer:



The beef mains with 'Carob' on rice. Had to google what Carob is. Couldn't detect any beans in the dish, but despite the appearance this was one of my favorite beef dishes on A3 so far. A little sweet but very delicious.. for me at least.



And another great dessert. A variation on the tahini tart, in this case by including chocolate. Yummy!

Are there catering reports for Business during this pandemic? Is Aegean still serving food? Is it different? Drinks? Wine? Flights are ATH to IST, SKG, LHR, DUS, DME. Thanks

Unfortunately neither here nor in the greek #avgeek forum has anyone posted information in this connection. All we know is that they serve a pre packed snack.

Aegean did confirm on facebook that the prepackaged business class meal should be different from the economy - though in what way, and what it contains is anybodies guess.

Flights seem to be pretty fully booked..looking at MUC-ATH the next few days is either fully book, or just a few seats still available. So people are traveling. Trip reports welcome!

Many have been wondering.... Here's the Dsseldorf to Athens snack(s) today in economy

All shown items were packed in paper bag like the ones you get with your cheeseburger from a well established brand 😅

This was actually quite tasty. It wasn't "industry-pre-packed", but rather freshly made and just "wrapped".

Oh dear. I am doing ZRH-ATH soon with Aegean in Business Class, let's see whats up. Maybe I should have stuck with Lufthansa or Swiss, they are offering full meal service in Business Class, it is one of those codeshare flights where it is a Swiss ticket, but Aegean operated.

Ok so I flew LHR-ZRH-ATH in Business Class, LHR-ZRH with Swiss and ZRH-ATH with codeshare but operated by Aegean on the A320 neo.

So one pic is the Swiss meal LHR-ZRH, the other is the Aegean meal ZRH-ATH. I think you can figure out which is which.

(I can't complain to Aegean too much, they must have serious financial issues right now, without the support of the German Federal government, but safe to say it was the worst business class meal I have ever had. Thanks to you guys though I saw this coming, so I had lunch at Burger King ZRH before I went on board and did not touch anything except taking some water.)

As of now i.e. June 29, 23:47 GMT:

Switzerland: 3653 cases / 1 M pop; 227 deaths / 1 M pop
Greece: 324 cases / 1 M pop; 18 deaths / 1 M pop

I'd definitely prefer the second meal shown...

A FA walked through the cabin after they were done with the "snack service" and handed out (quite) a few of those Amita juices to (primarily) children in economy on my flight 😉.

I'm trying to figure out what is in the paper bag, or is that just the empty bag that the food has handed out in.

Are Aegean offering any refund for the paid for service which obviously isn't being provided?

That's almost as if you are suggesting that the airline meals are the cause of the higher infection rate in Switzerland, which is absurd.

For what it's worth, it doesn't matter what meals Aegean is serving, as soon as the 'air corridors' are agreed between Greece and countries like the UK or France, there is very little Aegean will be able to do to prevent the number of cases rising!

The paper bag has a chocolate muffin in it.
They gave it in Business Class in a white designer shopping bag (think of a bag where you buy your Prada or Tod's shoes and they put the shoe box in it).
