LHR - EDI catering?
I know there is a link out there which I can't find, however: what is the catering on the 2000 LHR - EDI service like these days? Its been a while since I was on the Scotland flights regularly. Still a cold meat salad?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

A packet of these bad boys:

Or a Fox's biscuit
(And if BBB is taking care of you, maybe a bag of leftovers to take home with you
)

They are better than the hideous birdseed, but the biscuit is more substantial, and you can almost pretend it's a very small and inadequate meal

Interesting article in the 'Sunday telegraph' newspaper today, where an article on B.A and the boss of B.A. ...recognised that service had been 'Salami sliced' but would be cut no further.... and that B.A's future was as a full service airline....
I appreciate that the definition of 'full service' might not mean 'full catering'
Whilst I remember the days of hot catering on the evening flights to/ from EDI I really don't think it is too much to ask to offer a sandwich or wrap on flights at meal times. It is woeful to offer only a cookie and drink on a flight at 18.30 or so, particularly if you are in a rush..... and when the single fare can be over Ł200!
BA was formerly my airline of choice... I am much more selective now.

Hi,
Although sometimes, the opportunity to buy something is appreciated ( rather than just a biscuit)
Regards

Oh how I miss that evening salad tray service... It was a pain in the backside to deliver, but I felt like I was giving people a proper service and product...
I do genuinely miss it...

If you can't survive such a short time without eating may I suggest you carry a jeely piece in your bag.

I also miss the three course hot meal, with drinks run, second drinks run and coffee that preceded the salads - but then you did have 2 or three more crew in those days.
