I also have to choose for my other half who has no idea we are going. Beef would be his choice providing it's not incredibly tough. I'll order haddock and beef and then he can choose. We are in row 20 no status so If they run out we will be the runt of the litter lol

Most people do get their first choice, although it is a bit of a gamble, you could order one main to guarantee one fish dish and then let your other half order his choice on board (and always swap with him if needs be)

Asked You First for a copy of my menu on the A380 to SFO in March so I could have a look at the tasting menu (I know I know, spoiling the surprise). The problem is what they sent over bears no relation to the choices in MMB, instead it has the same selection as the March East Coast menu but with the Tasting Menu and the second West Coast meal so it must be right.

have to agree - why do they put so much fish/seafood on the bistro menu? can they not do veggie or meat only versions?

i had that with a wine list in December. A mate of mine is a buyer at the wine merchants that supply BA. he sent me through a list, which was different from the one I got from You First. It turns out they sent me the one for November.
