Been reading this thread - very interesting, and the info on bandings etc are an eye opener!
However I'm now very disappointed to realise I will only get a Brunch offering with no hot meal for my flight back home in a couple of days.
Does anyone know if there will be a bar service for Band 3 Brunch - seems to be conflicting info??

If your flight is very busy with a large Club cabin, you may find they offer the drink with the food but generally it should be offered first with nuts on a Band 3 flight.
However the crew do the service though, you can have as many drinks as you like.

I know that BA has now made routes such as DME Cold Catering only in Economy but note when booking a flight to DME they make this statement - "•Complimentary three course meal and drinks" - maybe they consider crackers to be the starter!

Stuff like that is best reported to the ASA, trading standards etc. Enforcement is the only way it will be (embarrassingly) revised.

I will definitely get a screen shot as there may be some Avios in it.... unless of course this cold box is a temporary thing.

Among the current vegetarian salads in band 3 y, I was very pleasantly surprised by the tabuleh with piquillos peppers and parsley. I wasn't sure if I'd like it but it is better seasoned than most others and was a pleasant change.
Told the crew I am personally chuffed my main routes seems to be getting the salads every time again after a period of vegetarian sandwiches and I was told there had been a few complaints about the latter.

Great thread! I have 2 LHR-HEL flights in the next month so will report on that later. Btw, seafood option is not available anymore?

Bit OT - but when booking LHR - DME - it came up as booking under World Traveller however on the Mobile App is classed as Euro Traveller despite travelling on a 777 both ways.
