- The route you are flying does not offer pre-ordering, hung up and called back to get
- You can only order special meals like vegetarian etc, I've never heard of ordering a main course, you can only do that on board
- Emailed You First, received a written response same as number 1 above, however they did email me the menu for the flight.

Same problem for me, 25 March LGW to BGI in F. Looks as if 1 March has not sorted the issue. I called/emailed BA and these are three responses I recieved:
- The route you are flying does not offer pre-ordering, hung up and called back to get
- You can only order special meals like vegetarian etc, I've never heard of ordering a main course, you can only do that on board
- Emailed You First, received a written response same as number 1 above, however they did email me the menu for the flight.

We are on BA2239 LGW to LIM in J, but we are not able to pre-order mains due " to a technical problem, although we can order on board " according to MMB, although special meals can be chosen.
Does anyone have any experience of this and know whether its likely to be rectified prior to departure (28/03/18) ?
Also the long haul return leg is with IB from UIO via MAD to LHR ,all the info is in MMB but I'm not able to order a vegetarian meal for my daughter, should I be able to ?
Thanks

Pre-order on IB coded BA flight?
I'm flying in J LHR-LAX later this month on an IB coded BA flight. In the ba.com MMB, I cannot find any option to order food. Is it possible to pre-order?
Many thanks in advance.

No food option shows up. Despite being booked in business with an UD seat confirmed, when I click on More Flight Information, the Flight Details pop up shows "Economy catering:M&S food sold on board". Can I call BA or is there some other way to resolve this?

That menu has been around for a while, had it on a flight LHR-JFK in January. Both the asparagus and mushroom consommé were pretty good, and I enjoyed the Kashmiri chicken (well presented and good taste, though not large in quantity, which was fine for me). Was less impressed by the apple tatin, found it super-sweet and didn't finish it.
On that flight, two of the three whites on the wine list were unavailable, which was a disappointment.
