Ok, so if I understand correctly, for a one-hour flight UIP-LCY, which I'm paying using Avios, if I get the OpUp for £69 per person, I get:
Cold dinner (flight at 6pm)
no lounge
2 bags (already have as a silver)
Priority boarding (flying with a 2 y.o., kid I'm in priority boarding anyways)
No extra TP (since this is an Avios booking)
No middle seat
So that's 69 quid for a "meal"? :-)

That's interesting. So if you pay cash for an App Ugrade, you still don't get TPs??

From Pro-active Online Upgrade (POUG) tracking and discussion | 2019 thread
- All POUGs earn full TPs and Avios for the upgraded cabin, subject to the original booking being paid for with cash.

Band 3 lunch, June 2019 : Spicy salmon, edamame beans and rice starter, main was (cold) Thai marinated prawn with pomelo pasta salad and grilled lime. Very enjoyable.

I barely noticed at the time, and it didn't bother us (otherwise I would have asked). But seeing the menu that we ought to have had jogged my memory.

Seeing this prompted a question about a recent flight: No menus were handed out. Nobody was offered a choice. Everyone in the CE cabin got the same thing, the curry. Did this mean that all of the cods were served on the outbound?

Thanks! We should definitely have been given a menu, then. I have a suspicion that the CC didn't hand them out to avert the complaints that would follow if all she actually had to offer was the curry.

They are supposed to be loaded for all relevant flights but this doesn’t always happen, or they’re loaded somewhere utterly bizarre and the CSM can’t find them 😄

Euro traveller band 3 cold meal coming back from split last night. Perfectly acceptable snack, but don’t rely on it if you’re hungry. This was the jerk chicken. I also got brought two packs of crisps to accompany my g&ts after the bar round was complete. No one else seemed to get this, not sure if It was because I was the only silver out of the 40 people on the flight.
