South London Bon Viveur

Never flown in F and nothing I have heard on here or from others (including BA staff) makes me want to go to any great lengths to try. I certainly wouldn't pay any significant extra money for it.

That is as fair and balanced a post as I have seen in a long time. Whilst human beings are involved it never will be perfect.I can forgive anyone if they are trying hard and things go wrong - that is the unfortunate thing of life. I have never had inedible food as I only eat when I am hungry and, whilst sadly that is more of the time than my wardrobe might wish, I eat. Sometimes it is OK, sometimes it is dire, and sometimes it is delicious. What I will say is that what passed for First Class food nowadays, we'd have served in Economy years ago - and that is not restricted to BA. Minced Beef masquerading as a "Burger", pasta served with anything and everything are two examples. It's a wonder that being a British Airline they don't serve some delicacy like Plum Duff with Custard reminiscent of so many School Dinners and call it Pudding. Frankly I have eaten far worst on other caarriers, but that is my taste not anyone else's.We have a classic thread of people for whom BA can do nothing right, and those for whom they can do no wrong. Somewhere in between lurks the reality. It has let people down badly and putting it right means spending money . In my experience you can put people in most seats and they are fine with that as long as it works and it is clean, give them a meal that is badly prepared or skimp on the drinks and they will not be happy;. The same applies to IVE - the system was never good and it is now beyond a joke. Better give everyone an Ipad and a decent pair of headphones BA1 style and they'll be far happier than what is around now, and it will probably be cheaper. What's best is that you can have it done very quickly.

Someone made a good point, if things go wrong, if your sensibilities are affronted for whatever reason, coming here to lament about it will not resolve anything. The CSD/CSM is there for a reason, and that is to deal with any service issues.
