Excellent feed back Wythy thanks for posting.

If that is the case I guess then the chances of food being loaded for the upgraded party to be slim to none of it is not at LHR .

Damn right it has fans. I find it very convenient. Have done home to gate in just under 30 minutes before ;)

40 Minutes including a bag here! :D

I have been upgraded at the gate at KRK to CE and there has been enough catering

Why would it be any different on a domestic?

The point I think is simply that BA don't over cater. So there is no 'spare' catering to cover upgrades. Flights are return catered (i.e. loaded in London) so if upgrades / bookings are last minute no time to get top up catering and BA won't load catering down-route. So the risk is if everyone accepts the meal there won't be any spare for the upgrades.

These upgrades should be known well in advance though; this should not be a surprise for the caterers.

which is exactly the same for Krakow and other CE destinations

its 2 and a half hours from London to Krakow, its an hour and 15 minutes from London to Glasgow, so they have more time to know what the upgrades will be.

if they make this work everywhere else on SH they can make it work on UK Domestic.

I am sure they have a strong understanding of which flights are likely to require some upgrades and therefore be catered appropriately before the aircraft leaves London

You really think BA have the operational expertise and management desire to uplift additional business class catering to provide for potential upgrades from a BoB cabin on a return flight within a 90-120 minute deadline? Is this some sort of joke?

Front cabin of 767 on EDI-LHR this morning was full with CE pax. Return on A320 had 4 rows of CE.

well they appear to do it today on flights across Europe, why do you think its not a problem across the rest of SH but will be a problem on UK Domestic?

They don't always do it on European flights. Even when you're a 'late' Club Europe booking (IE not an upgrade). Just because you got a meal out of Krakow doesn't mean that'll always be the case. In practice, not everyone will accept a meal so it's not likely they will run out but don't automatically expect it'll always get sorted. :-)

Having flown two CE domestic sectors MAN-LHR-MAN on 1 April 2017 (Review here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...l#post28118545) I can confirm that I was awarded 40 TPs for each sector, as expected.

All I am saying is it want be any different on a UK domestic if they upgrade people than it will be on any other SH European. This happens every day and has done for years

I was on the first flight to Belfast on Saturday morning.
Bus to plane so obviously priority boarding such as it is went out the window.
Three rows all full.
Service was excellent. Relatively quick.
Curtains pulled.
Two drink services.
Decent breakfast.

As impressed on a BA short haul flight as I have been in a very long time.
