My next SEA flight is now F0 J0 W2 Y9 so it looks like even a AUP will be unlikely now and I might go for this.
A couple of questions (if anyone knows):
1) How long before the flight do I need to decide?
2) I'm fairly sue that chances of an OPUP will be zero if a meal is ordered but what about an AUP, could I still get one and what happens to the £18 spent on the meal in this case?
TIA

2) can't answer

I've just read this whole thread, and there seem to be 3 posts talking about the food, and 150 posts of cynicism.
Those 3 posts though following actually eating it were very positive, so I am tempted to do this for an upcoming WT flight to HKG with the family, I think it would be a nice thing to do, especially as we'll have dashed from the school gates and won't have any airport time.
Is there any evidence of this impacting POUGs? 5 of us travelling so it's highly unlikely I'd take it as it would probably be close to £1000, but I would be interested for solo flights.
Also I assume that 5 different passengers can choose 5 different meals?
Thanks

This must be a logistics nighthmare for the airline, crew and also for passengers. Good in theory but not in practise.
To serve 200+ pax lunch/dinner/breakfast in a short time is almost a miracle as it is now but for many years the airlines have got this right. You can't really turn an aircraft into some a la carte restaurant. At least not in long-haul economy.
I guess it all depends on crew/pax ratio and galley capacity.

Welcome to Flyertalk StuckInWT, welcome in particular to the BA board. Thanks for pointing this out, I'm sure it will be of interest. I hope you'll make a resolution tonight to be active on this forum - welcome on board, and may you never be always stuck in WT.

That is a great spot. I don't know if BA has charged me in advance for my enhanced meal offering - Vegetarian Kitchen (of which I will take photos and review next week following my flight) but it's annoying that the price has dropped significantly.
