I think there was some suggestion status passengers would get something for free. Any information on that?

My question is whether BAEC Golds & OWEs and above will get a complimentary drink and snack as happens to Executive Platinum & OWE members on AA?

LCY and STN flights are at least not being impacted until 'Summer 2017'.
Funnily enough, there is no mention in the FAQ's about what happens to existing bookings - I'd suggest anyone impacted tweets BA to see what they have to say

I do wonder whether this will be available on all flights - IE LHR-MAN, LGW-JER. I wonder if CE will just get something 'free' from the trolley and then the SCCM will disappear down the back to help with the retail service.

Using BA's prices, my G&T and crisps on UK Domestic is worth just under a tenner. I shall wait with baited breath for UK Domestic fares to decrease by a tenner.
Meanwhile, I'll be transferring my business back to Virgin Trains...

My guess is that those who complain may get given a set number of avios per existing booking, perhaps enough for say one drink and one snack at the new avios payment prices.

Granola pot (the exact one I have for brekkie most days), cider, and Percy Pigs? This is great!
On the other hand, will we be saying goodbye to hot breakfast domestics and lemon melts?

Specifically quotes Cruz saying that there will be no lowering of fares as a result, and similarly no guarantee that people already booked would receive free M&S food when these changes come into effect. Whether that means they get a free something else, we can but guess.

Sat in SAS lounge at CPH - so liberating to have gotten over the obsession to have to fly oneworld all the time ;-)

If something has been taken away that was previously complementary, I suspect it will be tough luck.
When Gate Gourmet went on strike, that was the response - it was complementary i.e. not paid for, so non provision is ok. Shame.

Rumour is rife today that the Club cabin will return to domestics when this is introduced.
