When did that start? It wasn't in mine on 11th. I think a pen is a good addition although I seem to carry a lot of pens around with me anyway.

I'm not fussed about ice cream disappearing from the winter schedule, although it would be nice to have it back in the summer.

The only time I've asked for ice cream in F I was told it was melted (although I did ask at afternoon tea about 6.5 hours into the flight).

I would much rather have a delicious fancy dessert in F than something I can make at home.

It's going for good, but knowing BA that could mean it is back next week.
The pens are in the new wasbags which I believe are only on the A380 at the moment, same with the grey sleeper suits.
I think that BA are trying to make the A380 feel extra special at the moment.

Hand served bar runs are an excellent improvement - it can be almost as fast, and is much more personal & pleasant.

Can't see any improvement in removing ice cream however!

Perhaps that's why Peter was cold. They kept the ice cream in the WTP cabin to stop it melting! This temperature issue will fix itself when the winter schedule comes in. The WTP cabin will just become a fridge for the LPGS rather than a freezer.

The pens given out in the F kit are a bit cheap.

Compared to the ones I klep from the Sofitels, I wouldn't retain the BA ones longer than I needed to.

Apparently it was very nice
If that is it, I can't see what the excitements about, I'm afraid. Looks like something anyone could knock up at home.

Retaining the mini tubs of ice cream, on the other hand, is something they should really do.

Doesn't look special. If it was served in the lounge it'd be described as 'frozen stuff with some gloop on top'. The ones I had on AA were very nice.

Have you ever been asked for your opinion on this? thought not!
There are several mechanisms through which an airline can determine whether or not a catering product appears to be a success.

i) asking customers or monitoring their comments on feedback forms or through other channels, such as the futures lab or an event for FFP members

ii) asking cabin crew if the product appears to be popular and/or recording this data through the iPad

iii) monitoring offloads, i.e. counting the portions of ice cream offloaded - although this approach may be tricky for ice cream because it could have melted by the time the trolley is back the catering factory, especially on a hot day, perhaps you could get around it by counting the number of unused sundae glasses/bowls.

Accordingly there might be slightly more to this than meets the eye.

Sure, true, but does everything always has to be better than at home? ... I for example has always been looking forward to the ice cream because I like it. Otherwise I wouldn't have it at home too

But I completely, the sundae of AA is truly great ^ And of course any haagen daz ice cream, pleaaaaseeeee

Well ii) & iii) didn't happen, in the case of iii) as you say the evidence had melted and we don't have sundae glasses.
