No different to your Faro flight, it will be another sandwich in a bag.

Indeed, but they presumably should have been there on the FAO flight already!

Band 4 as it once was gets a box not a bag. As others have said you can eat the box as second meal if you’re hungry!

Thanks for the correction - I had assumed that Band 3 and Band 4 would be similar.

They are exactly similar. As mentioned above, you should have got the exact same box for FAO and anything except band 1. A bag there would be a random catering incident.

Faro should have been the "Enjoy your menu" box

Did you sandwich not come in a box ?!

Any news as to when we'll be able to get a beer in ET again, paid for or otherwise? easyJet is getting a lot of my business at the moment just so I can enjoy a Punk IPA or two at 35k feet!

So in exchange of 1 sheet of Basildon Bond, 1 envelope, and 1 first class stamp, BA owes you 1 chocolate mousse, 1 mini salad, and 23g of paper pulp

The mini salad was the tastiest thing on my Pisa - LHR last Sat. Couscous, semi-dried tomatoes and a lemon yogurt base. Really v tasty. The less said about the chicken and coleslaw sandwich the better.

Hi,

Could have been worse ( It could have been beetroot!) -I dislike beetroot.

It does sound poor though

I was on PSA-LHR a couple of days later. At the end of the meal service it looked like the cabin crew had collected in more than they gave out so much seemed to be sent back.

One of the good things about PSA - unusually, is that as it is a Ryanair heavy airport there are lots of food outlets ready to put something together for you to take on board which is almost guaranteed to be more tasty than the 'enjoy your menu' box.

Hi.

I would check the covid catering thread but it will be a box with a starter/salad, sandwiches, desert and a bottle of water. No hot option iirc

Tea/coffee,soft drinks, juices and alcohol available from the crew during the flight


Cant post the link at the moment but see dykwia had provided it
Regards
