I get that SMS most times on the ACE route ! Nice to be consistent at least 😂

But are they even offering the Bia menu onboard yet? That's the issue (or one of them...)

It's too risky health wise for fresh food. We are to start smoking instead /s

Three other airlines I've been on since July served fresh food. Not EI.

Considering the mark up, the mind boggles

I flew DUB - ACE the other day . 156 passengers so healthy figure the reduced Bia menu had plenty of stock but quite a few passengers asked for sandwiches so the demand and revenue opportunities are there. The typical Irish holiday maker loves to get onboard have their tea and sandwiches and a few drinks. Its part of the holiday.

I have done a few trips to LHR and just returned from ACE . Bia offering was fully stocked and I got to try a few of the hot and cold sandwich / wrap offerings . Have to say they were all nice.







The chicken and stuffing was free as I was in Aerspace .

That will certainly help the profit margins

Not a fan of triangular sandwiches...

Hungry, were you?

How come only the chicken and stuffing was free? I thought you could go hog wild in Aerspace and order whatever you wanted.

I think there is a lot of inconsistency of whats allowed between crew . Might try for a Dairy Milk also on next flight The drink was free also of course .

Is there any catering on EI Regional? The website says no, but not sure if it’s up to date.

New bia menu alludes to the breakfast being back on the cover, but it’s not on the actual menu.

Wine has increased in price!

Boutique shopping also back.
