I wonder if any of their shareholders are asking, “what took you so long?”

So I think it’s fair to say this is the way forward, even on premium airlines, and I’m sure BA will be looking to bring BOB back as soon as it can.

“Our previous range of snacks in Economy Class often does not meet the expectations of our guests,” explains Christina Foerster, Executive Vice President Lufthansa Group Customer, IT & Corporate Responsibility. “The new offer was developed on the basis of our customer feedback. With the high quality offer, which is subject to a fee, our passengers will be able to decide individually what they want to eat and drink on their trip. "
I would very much like to meet some of these passengers who choose to fly economy and yet are seemingly pleading to be charged now for food and drink that was previously free. I can just imagine Mr. and Mrs Muller from Frankfurt almost begging 'oh please stop serving us free snacks and drinks onboard because really I want to start to pay for these items that were free before. I know that you will not lower the ticket price to compensate, but I am so looking forward to paying over the odds for a sandwich that now comes in a box and also for the tin of pepsi that was all free before. Happy days!'

You can guarantee Lufthansa Group won't be tendering the operation out to Tourvest. Not if they want job done properly at least.

I'd pay good money for the ham/cheese rolls that Swiss has onboard nowadays. To use a motorsport analogy they are like Lewis Hamilton and BA's pre-Covid M&S shite was like my grandmother without her glasses at the wheel of her Twingo on a snowy evening after sunset.

I do not see it attractive. I need the Air Asia concept in an airline in Europe. Fast, smooth, worries-free and very convenient.
So good. That would be an actual improvement and not those little steps they make just to cut costs and try to improve income.
