What does this mean for those of us with existing bookings for travel from April onwards?
- If your ticket was booked into J, C, D, R, I, or U fare classes, you will travel in the CE cabin and will enjoy lounge access plus the usual fast track benefits and special meal options that come with CE.
- If your ticket was booked into the Y bucket, you will be rebooked for free into J (Club Europe) and the above benefits will apply. This should happen automatically well in advance of travel. If your ticket was not issued by BA, you should contact the issuing airline to make sure this change is properly processed.
- If your ticket was booked into B, H, K, M, L, V, N, Q, O, S, G fare classes, you will travel in the ET cabin and all elements of the airport and cabin experience will the same as before.
- If your ticket was booked into the X fare bucket (economy class redemption), then you will travel in the ET cabin above. However, if this was part of a longhaul club or first ticket, it may be possible to be rebooked for free into the U (Club Europe) bucket. You will have to call BA to accomplish this change.

The changes will be as follows: on domestics for lunch and dinner a choice between a fresh salad and a hot sandwich and for all other European flights a hot meal. The brunch will remain and on all afternoon flights (UK and Europe) the choice will be sandwiches or a Ploughman's salad, both served with British afternoon tea cake and and tea. Not sure about the fate of the scones.

Hot meals on Band 1/2 would be a welcome addition, particularly where lounge offerings are weak

Yes, many of the bp for domestic flights seem to be showing that atm. There is no Club Europe and it isn't even an indication you are in J/Y (current Business UK selling classes) or in any other business selling class. I have had them on domestic fligst where the booking is in O selling class.

Just wondering how Cityflyer is going to cope with this later in the year. They have only two cabin crew for 98 passengers. The crew have their hands full with previous (single class) service offering on domestics - is it realistic that one can do full service in club and the other crew member can single handedly handle BoB for the rest of the plane?
