It would be great as they take delivery of more A350’s and 787-10’s if we could see dedicated 787-8’s allocated to routes such as AMM/CAI/DME. This is the perfect aircraft for these routes but until Boeing sort their problems out and start delivering the -10’s all wide body aircraft will be needed for long haul rather than mid-haul routes.

Band 3, BA771 ARN-LHR breakfast on December 27, 2021. The English breakfast was actually good. The other option was a vegetarian meal.

This was BA706 LHR-VIE - the aubergine and rigatoni option. The other option was bangers and mash, but I am a fan of aubergine and went with this. Dish was actually good - could of had a bit more aubergine, but that's nitpicking. The desert was also very nice. The salad was pathetic.

Current kosher meal for express and band 1. I am not really a fan, it’s basically a big pile of different meats. I may have to reconsider my religious affiliation in the air.

This was the KSML offering up to EDI on Wednesday afternoon. Was really tasty and huge piece of salmon.

I really like this one, granted the Salmon above is the best, but I prefer this meat platter to the Chicken breast on giant cous cous.

This looks exactly like the domestic breakfast that used to be served or the Euro Traveller breakfast on the Athens to Heathrow flights before Buy on Board.

quite. The old CE breakfast used to have a fruit salad plate on the side. Plus 1 or 2 pastries from the basket rather than that sorry excuse for a croissant…

It's sad to see that bacon hasn't been made COVID safe yet.

Afternoon tea on today’s BA 315 CDG-LHR
Crew did a fabulous job of serving and clearing away on a very short flight. By the time I was eating I only had a short time but was delighted with the food!
By the time the trolley got to us there were no vegetarian sandwiches left so they thoughtfully offered me a vegetarian salad from another meal plus the scone and cream and jam.
The beet(root) feta and quinoa salad was excellent. Then I did a taste test of (left to right) a Cornish scone vs a Devonshire scone. I think the Cornish approach makes it more like a cake topped with fruit and a subsequent layer of cream, and the Devon order more like a sandwich. I’m sure CornishSimon will hate me for saying this but I prefer the less sweet approach of the cream followed by jam…

That's not quite accutate as this week BA 677 is operating - and then it goes to one a day on Mondays Fridays and Wednesdays. Me, I'd sooner stay overnight and come back at BA's prices than pay TK's prices but that's just me and I pay my own fares
