I think the 'We apologise if your meal choice is not available' is relatively new on First menus? A sign of just how customer-centric BA is of late.

What do people think is the best way to send a complaint around the menu ahead of the flight? Is it in response to You First or via the direct complaints site on ba.com? Thanks

Seeking BA First Meal Advice...
My better half is flying BA First MIA-LHR in a few weeks. I was able to request the menu from the You First team (pasted below) and unfortunately found nothing she would likely eat (picky eater + pescatarian). I was surprised that there is no fish entree offered and wondering what her best course of action would be so she doesn't go hungry whilst flying across the pond. :p
Can she request a menu from Club World once on board to see if there is something she would prefer from that menu, or would she be better off pre-ordering a special meal (though there's generally no description of what specifically those entrees will be)? I am trying to convince her to set out for the airport early so she can have a nice meal in the AA Flagship First Dining room, but she normally prefers not to spend too much idle time in airports, no matter how wonderful the lounge options are, especially when the lounge and gate of departure are far from one another, as is the case at MIA. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. THANK YOU! https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bde2825624.png DINNER MENU https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...804fac77a0.png DESSERT MENU https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3ff6cf347c.png BREAKFAST MENU |
BA182 JFK-LHR. 23:20 departure.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...989ea0f4f.jpeg Pretty uninspiring. However due to a late connection I was hungry and needed feeding. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c1728cc1d.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...56992e53f.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0eaacc062.jpeg Burrata https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...944262c63.jpeg Sweetcorn Chowder https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fd22de233.jpeg Lamb pie. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4ec8c2b36.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e80cb148.jpeg |

Ba285 and CCR
overall catering was superb, only thing I didn’t like was the light meal mains and dessert other than that, main meal lobster and lamb were superb, as was the chocolate dessert everything in the CCR was superb https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f3253eebf.jpeg |
Beautiful pictures.

What's the latest on the Brunch menu? Is it being dropped from Feb? Have an F flight next weekend and again a couple of weeks later which I could switch by an hour if necessary.
|
The coronation scotch egg was very good when I had it on BA283 the other day. We both chose the mushroom lattice pie and both were pretty bad with the pastry being rock hard. The mushroom filling was small but tasty.
The two South African wines on the wine list are indeed good but it is hardly a sign of BA upping it’s game in the wine department more a sign of they stumbled across some wines which met their wine bottle price which seems to have been consistently “enhanced” over the years. The menu we had whilst not brunch still seemed like the remnants of brunch. The only main course not brunch like was filet mignon which I tend to avoid on BA. |
LHR to LAX BA283
You first emailed across the menu.
looks like this is still the brunch menu?! can I complain to the IFM once on board as the choices really don’t seem First. note- under light bites they seem to have removed the sandwich option… https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c593c3d55.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...435e9fa7a.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d9a2848b.jpeg |

I had a colleague on the same flight to DFW last week but in club and no brunch/egg options provided there which makes this even more frustrating for First. You can see those menus in the FT club food thread. Let us know the outcome of your complaint. |
The chocolate and hazelnut bar is EXCELLENT.

You First has sent me the exact same menu for BA207 LHR to MIA on 29th Jan. It is still the Brunch menu! I don't usually order beef (never cooked right) but that's the only choice if you want a proper meal on a 9+ hour flight. I also suspect I won't even get that as a choice as I'm only a BAEC Silver so they will probably run out before they reach my "pay grade". I intend to complain. It won't do any good but at least I will get it off my chest. We fly down to LHR from Newcastle and I am seriously considering flying to Paris with Air France instead and going on from there in future.PS the second light meal was afternoon tea.
