I see, thank you! It must have changed since 2018 then, this post includes it in Band 3.

Is there an up to date source of truth somewhere?

Just shows you can never please everyone, but personally I love the CE afternoon tea and find it’s just right for a Band 2 flight. Followed of course by a G and (the other kind of) T.

I thought ALC was being harshly downgraded from band 3 to 2 but I notice DBV is 100 miles further and has still been downgraded as well. Must be the longest band 2?

I am not sure why BA omelettes need to be swimming in a sauce - this looks very cheesy!

Band 1 dinner en route from the near continent. Warm Croissants instead of bread (17:25 departure) with a very apologetic crew! I quite liked it though - went well with the dessert!

RAK-LHR May 9, 2023

Same Band 3 menu as listed above, but whole experience was a shambles. The flight was roundtrip catered, full with 54 in CE.

Didn’t load enough meals and were asking for volunteers to have no meal. No ice (this is Morocco, where it was >40oC), no glassware - plastic cups for the beverage.

Service was painfully slow despite 4 crew in the front. Over an hour after takeoff offered a warm selection of drinks, had a warm champagne in a plastic cup - and we were in Row 5. Friends in Row 14 finally got a beverage almost 2h after takeoff.

Meals came out just under two hours after takeoff, were fine. No wines or water offered with meal. Trays finally collected just prior to landing.

Can’t believe BA get away with this in these 14 row “mega cabins” - slow service, mis-catering, and a massive bathroom line throughout the flight.

BA529 - LIS - LHR 9th May. Very good crew and chatty IFM, recongnised us as goldies. No menus though

Had 4 choices, the roast chicken with potatoes added with a cheeky grin as the last item, they only had a few loaded. Very nice.

Annoying as I’m flying from DBV soon and I thought it was band 3.
