Bitter Lemon no more?
 

I flew back to JFK last night in F and was told I couldn't have a Bitter Lemon as its no longer carried onboard. I've had Bitter Lemon on BA for years and enjoyed one sat on the CCR terrace a few hours earlier.

Has this now been enhanced away?

Dang it! The only drink I have on most BA flights is bitter lemon. (And occasionally a glass of the dessert wine in F.)

Really, I do hope not. It does beg the question over the last few months of why bother going through all the hassle of replacing the Schweppes product with Britvic version if it's being discontinued anyway.

Lack of demand? I didn't even know they served it.

Not true.

Phew!

Thanks CIHY, good to know i was told the wrong information.

Why is another question for a different thread.

I don't think they have it on shorthaul routes, which route were you on?

I think JFK per the OP.

Good to know it is still available on longhaul. ^

I have to admit, that I always pick up a can in the lounge when I'm headed to a short haul flight.^

Teach me not to read things properly.

I remember overhearing a person asking for bitter lemon on a flight a couple of years ago.

The customer asked for a bitter lemon and received a slice of lemon in a glass. The staff member thought they asked for a 'bit of lemon'. :D

I enjoyed my glass of Bitter Lemon in Club Europe just a few days ago.

:D 'four candles' with that ? ;)

Britvic is disgusting. Many years ago, I did a bit of work for the company and even the senior managers admitted they couldn't stand the stuff (whether juice or mixer).
