Club Europe serving alcohol?

Are the CE routes serving alcohol? I know the food is a little lunchbox - but drinks choice?

Can confirm normal bar service in CE. I may or may not have had 2 mini bottles
of champagne and a Bloody Mary a few hours ago.

Pleasingly it's the Lighthouse NZSB for white wine drinkers of the same persuasion

The Nicolas Feuillette is pleasant. I managed 2 to AMS yesterday.

Probably worth directly asking what you want, drink wise. My crew yesterday were great but was a EF/WW mix. I could hear questions re the galley layout from row 1.

Good detail. The lady that took my Bloody Mary order I know was suspect as she didn’t ask about Tabasco, lemon or ice.

She came back 2 minutes after the order to confirm tabasco which confirmed it. I was dreading being the first DYKWIA victim so took the slightly chilled un-citrus’d BM with a “thank you very much”.

BA CityFlyer are yet to start operations. I believe this will happen on the 10th July.

There has been no word of their proposed catering offerings, but I’m sure it will be reduced.

Single use plastic

normal? Or still single-use plastic glasses, cutlery and everything else. It’s probably very hygienic but that Swedish teenage girl must be doing her nut!

Plazzy cups, no ice/slice. But the full selection is available.

Slightly OT but I don’t understand why BA hasn’t moved towards disposal Compostable cutlery and drinking glasses/cups. There are lots of bamboo type options available and would go some way to keeping to covid19 safety and reducing single use plastic.

I imagine they are using stuff they already have & that they have supply chains/agreements for. No idea on the cost implication but I suspect anyone who might otherwise have reviewed what disposable items are used onboard probably hasn't been at work most of the last 3-4 months...
