Food on Comair
Hi
Apologies if this has been asked before but although I did a search back to 2013 I couldn't see this question.
Does anyone know what the food options in economy/traveller are between CPT and JNB on BA6438 departing CPT 19:00 and JNB to CPT on BA6413 departing JNB 09:15.
Previously I have done either economy flights at lunchtime or evening flights in club.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Economy will be hot breakfast, and light (I believe hot) meal. It is well above and beyond what you would get on BA on flights of a similar length. Of course this assumes that those are "real" Comair flights, not Kulula operated ones.

I have taken the 17:00 flight down to CPT and I got a hot pasta dish, a piece of bred and bottle of red wine... I don't remember if there was a biscuit or cake. Still very good compared to mainline in Economy for a such a short distance.

Last month had evening JNB > CPT flights.
Surprisngly their hot meal was very good in economy - I had a veggie stew / pasta sort of thing. - in fact better than most of my CW meals on regular BA flights.
Their SLOW loung is also very good for range of food and deserts and found their bathroom facilites very good as well as they were tastfully decorated and constatntly clean. - BA sould take note.
COMAIR lounge and food really do put regular BA flights out of heathrow to shame.

The Slow Lounge food is excellent, and the coffee is very drinkable.
On board, early morning flights usually have some kind of omelette, which is edible. In the past evening flights have advertised Woolworth ready meals or Primi Patti meals , but it's a while since I've been in ET on Comair on evening flights

But I can't help with the original question because I very seldom do JNB-CPT, and the JNB-DUR flights are a different kettle of fish, being so much shorter.

There is usually 3-choices of hot food, one of which is Veggie, all usually very good. They do change the options fairly frequently.
As for the service they normally bring out a tray with the 3-choices on to present to you so you select which one.
The Comair offering IMHO far superior to the stuff served in CE for LHR/LGW

I flew JNB-CPT in Comair Business on 25 Dec and was given my choice of three options, and thought the general standard of food and beverage service was much better than I have experienced in CE in recent years.
My optional upgrade from Economy to Business was only 400ZAR (£18) on check-in.
This might have been specific to my circumstances but I would suggest checking the Avios and TPs that credit to your account after your flights. Mine didn't credit properly (I received Avios and TPs equivalent for an Economy and not Business fare) but that was quickly fixed after a short email to BA.
Enjoy!
