Another report from a colleague, served Tatt on the BA732 to GVA yesterday from a bottle.
And in other news, I've ordered the Muslim meal for my CE DUB-LCY trip next Wednesday - interested to know what I'll get from a 7.50pm departure.
Am i right in saying the DUB-LCY flights just have a 'no choice' chilled salad at this time anyway?

On another issue this was my first shorthaul flight in a while and therefore my first experience of the new seating and I found it very cramped......the amount of leg room is awful and really unacceptable for business class.

Those delightful mini bottles were served on an ex LGW service in CE yesterday. Sounds like an interesting innovation from LHR, unless it's a remnant of the catering issues from last week. Then there's Fever-Tree appearing on longhaul, maybe this is a feature of the extra catering spend that BA has announced?

Before you all get too excited, it's a temporary thing due to a supply issue from Monopole. At LGW at least (I don't get messages about LHR issues) there should be a couple of big bottles of taittinger loaded as well as Monopole loaded at 50% of normal amount on Band 3 and 4 flights. I haven't seen it yet, as my recent B3 & 4 flights must've been "forgotten" in regards to champagne loads. We only had a few bottles of Monopole. Luckily, most of the customers didn't know we serve champagne in CE
