When timings and prices are right, I tend to be LHR from London and LCY into London. That way, I get the CCR outbound, and power on the plane (since the CCR still can't be bothered to have even a minimally decent number of plugging options!) and the better catering and faster immigration upon my return...

Hi all. Anyone have any experience of EuroTraveller recently? I'm flying Band 1 in a few weeks to AMS and Band 3 on June to FAO. I'm expecting nothing much on the AMS flight but I believe a sandwich on Band 3 for breakfast? Is there still a full bar service in ET? Thanks in advance!

Interesting experience on Friday. We had 2 trays with different starters (one with feta cheese and probably orzo, one with a chicken and sweetcorn salad) and 2 different desserts (one was banoffee cheesecake, the other definitely didn't have banana in it although they looked the same). All in all not a big deal but I was surprised since we didn't get offered a choice. The bread was chewy, it could definitely have done with a bit more cooking.
The lamb masala was very tasty, the other option was a veggie green curry. Service was spot on.

I would imagine this was a ‘top up’ tray which is essentially handed over at the door with a last minute load change. It doesn’t always follow the menu cycle. Certainly that’s my experience at LHR with a different meal to the rest of pax.

Always found it a bit silly that the orzo pasta starter can end up on the same tray as the fregula pasta main... double pasta salad! That said, the hot main prosciutto-wrapped chicken is paired with the prosciutto starter which I suppose is great if you love ham.

Have I read correctly that BHD-LCY 13:50 departure this weekend will be chicken or halloumi? (could have sworn when I read before it was prawns)
And has Tanqueray gone from CJ bars yet and been replaced with Aviation Gin?
Thanks!

Catering on today's service from Belfast to London City comprised of a packet of crisps, as no catering was loaded for club.
The csm was apologetic and offered the usual full club bar (including champagne) and a £10 voucher was offered on arrival at City if you cared to go and claim it.

LCY-AMS BA8457 Mar 25th 2022. Band1S Cycle 1 I believe. Was a chicken, sweet corn and potato hash. The starter felt more substantial than the few salad leaves I’ve had previously. Unfortunately bread was stone cold. Only 5 people in CE but great service for such a short 40 min flight.
