I also just got back from a CE flight to Greece, only one drink (besides tea) and no bread basket was offered for several rows on the outbound breakfast service. When someone behind asked for bread, the reply was, do you really want it?

If for some reason adequate breadrolls were not provided, this should simply be stated.

For the inbound, (a long band afternoon meal service), bread was offered but no nuts and only one drink other than tea or coffee.
I also noticed something similar on my outbound flight to IST, they didn't serve any nuts but the crew in CE were great and friendly.

On the inbound flight, they had run out of glasses (for spirits, soft drinks, water) and also very short on wine and champagne.

Is the discussion about 3 snack items in WT, or 3 items from the trolley in CW?

Good question, I thought we were discussing the new Club service

If they're serving Cadbury's chocolate from the starters trolley in CW I don't know whether to be pleased that there is chocolate in CW, or annoyed because they're offering chocolate as a starter!

What about day flights to BOS and PHL which are shorter than JFK and IAD? Same ambient item basket but only one each?

PHL is just the basket of shame so one item, BOS might be the enhanced service but I’m not sure.

I wish British cooks (BA's included) would stop calling any and every dish with the random presence of white beans a 'cassoulet'...

I'm glad I chose the prawn salad instead. It was actually pretty good!

Your steak was way better than my fillet in F to AUH the other day. I asked them to undercook it but it nevertheless came out cooked all the way through. When will I learn? Unfortunately the alternatives were really boring. I think F catering really needs a kicu up the proverbials.

LHR-BOS BA203 yesterday.

Salmon gravlax - surprisingly fresh and zingy.



The beef with polenta potatoes was actually very tasty if a little precise in it's cubing of the meat.



Both were a million times better than the sliders in the CCR - they were inedible, the buns weren't fresh but had that consistency similar to something having been nuked in the microwave to give a refresh.



Can't work out how to add the photos properly sorry.
Edit - sorted I think.
