Yeah, weather the past few days has been cold and wet. I think London was warmer than Larnaca on Friday.
And you were correct Bwaflyer...catered out of LCA which was owned by CY. Choice of chicken or cheese sandwich, but CE had standard hot meals.
Pretty busy. 252 pax onboard. Landed late. Just made the last tube. Time from aircraft door to train...9 minutes

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but BA is going from 7 to 13 weekly on the LHR-LCA route from 29 March. The early morning departure is a bit off (where did they find the slot?) but the early afternoon return will be in demand.

Also a status match program for CY refugees. Pretty interesting expansion.

Err, the new catering arrangements were to return cater from LHR for CE and provide sandwiches for ET. Done at less than a day's notice. Contingency was in place and worked.

Unless I misunderstood, the sandwiches were provided in lieu of the expected hot meal (dinner) catering. This is why shefgab received an apology for the improper catering rather than the seamless service one might expect from a well managed contingency.

Good summary of options for any passengers stranded by CY going bust...
