I fly back to the UK for the holidays - the BA catering on the outbound (JFK - LHR) was dreadful - the second meal was literally half a sandwich (afraid I didn’t take pictures). This was the 8am departure, so that meal was effectively dinner.
Ended up switching my return to an American flight, and found the food was excellent. They had a proper starter and salad, a really tasty sea bass dish and then the ice cream sundaes have returned! Apparently they brought back full catering around mid-Dec. I’d recommend making the switch to AA metal if available.

Perhaps you’re being a little melodramatic?
Interesting. I’ve always found AA catering to be worse than BA (but maybe that’s just my taste). Glad to hear the fish they served was good.

Historically I’d agree with you - a sign of how poor BA is now.

I mean, it’s not that much more hyperbolic than BA’s website claiming Club World offers “delicious global cuisine”. I’m not even sure the global cuisine bit is accurate on flights from the U.K. any more since so many menus are badly executed ‘British classics’.

Any recent experiences of dinner and breakfast in CW from an overnight JFK-LHR flight?

Anyone know when the 'enhanced' catering is due to resume? January was mentioned up thread. Personal interest as flying late next week in J out of LGW.

ah well at least 3 of the flight segments on this trip are with QR, and maybe the first leg will be rebooked to QR as well looking at the seat allocation with only 15 seats showing reserved on the entire 777 4 days before travel...

BA175 LHR-JFK 11/1/22
The pork was surprisingly nice...except around 1/3 of it was pure fat which is a bit much. The actual flavour was good and the meat was nice and tender.
