There is no logic to that whatsoever. It was part of the ticket price, just like having somewhere to sit is part of the ticket price.

Which charity will they be giving the waste food items to?
Will cabin crew have enough time to fill in the waste food item forms? Will cabin crew collect Boots and Pret empty sandwich packaging for recycling? Do BA's waste management contracts allow for the extra cost of additional passenger waste that'll be inevitable? |
I honestly believe that the only way BA brand can now survive is if they split off their shorthaul network and rename it, like Cathay and Dragonair, Singapore & Silk Air, Thai & Smile. To keep things as they are will only cause long term damage to the brand and reputation of BA.

BA customer relations have been instructed to give up to 1,000 Avios per passenger per booking to compensate which is enough for a 'drink and a snack'.
Also able to cancel for a full refund up to 28 days prior to departure. |

My SOF-LHR flight in February, which I bought April this year has gone from a hot meal and drinks, to an enhanced sandwich with drinks, to enhanced paid sandwich with no drinks included.
Lucky for me that the lounge in Sofia is so well stocked with cheese triangles, peanuts and crisps. |

Sounds like a good high quality food brand to use. Pricing OK too - cheaper than the AA options linked to by elitetraveller.
Who would even think 5 years ago that US carriers would be superior to European flag carriers:D |
Much like Brexit, I was hoping that this wouldn't come to fruition :(
The whole idea of BoB is dissapointing, but even more so that even water will be charged for. The lack of free catering for BA Gold is also upsetting. Will BA improve their lounge offerings to enable status pax to BoB (bring on board)? IB lounges have loads of sandwiches and salads that are "good to go". I shall certainly be taking some drinks for the plane (mini cans galore!). Over the past few years I've been flying more and more with Ryanair, but am happiliy paying up to £30-50 more for BA on a shorthual flight. The chances of that happening now are very slim. After years of enhancements, taking the line "this is what our pax want" is just another kick in the teeth. Of course people are going to want "upgraded" catering when you swap a meal tray for an all day deli bag, then a lunch box, then a wrap, then to a single mini bag of crisps :o I think they'd find that most people would rather "free" than "paid for", not that they'd ever ask. |
