I think Dubai seems to be a bit of a bling magnet tourist resort now. I am not at all surprised it's a different profile in J to many other routes. Suspect a lot of the regular business traffic to and from there resides in EK (just a guess)

Flew my first CW LHR - JFK since June 2017 last week. I won't add anything to the thread by supplying a course by course review - the menu on my flight was exactly the same as the menu on the flight taken by CWS in post #1 - but my return journey involved an OpenSkies BizBed leg, so I had the opportunity to make an almost immediate comparison between the new offering and something that was very much like the old. On this basis then, the new CW catering is, for me, a significant improvement - the ingredients, the preparation and the presentation are all superior.

Ref the 1 March date (c-w-s post above #1030 ) : I did a MCT last week (out in F, back CW) and my CW sector did not appear to have the new bedding. That said, it was a day flight, I had no need of bedding so can’t say I paid a lot of attention.
What I do know for sure is that there was no ‘new catering’ (and boy how it was in need of some .......)
Astonishing to think that - seven months in - there remains such lack of clarity across the network.

Thanks for this, I've put the update into the Wiki, accurately I hope. Any other reports on MCT would be good in the light of subject2load's comment.
