bit disappointing yesterday LGW-Catania. the mains were chicken tikka, mac n cheese or the salmon waldorf salad which looked pretty small.

that said, the mac n cheese with truffle and mushroom was short on truffle oil but the mushrooms were really done well and once i mixed it up a bit it was really quite lovely.

meanwhile the lemon pot continues to just taste of chemicals--i love all lemon desserts but these pots are just very odd tasting!

Word has it none of the 32N's due for delivery will have dividers fitted so get ready for more of the same.

agreed and my seat neighbor gave his back for that exact reason, but the sauce was on the bottom so once mixed about, quite delish and plenty of cheesy sauce but done well.

Is that because they’re not compatible with the new larger ‘Airspace’ overhead lockers, or some other reason? Bit of a shame, if true.

We saw this on a 32N flight the other day, hadn't noticed this before. Is it all the 32N's? Does make sense, we thought the queue for the forward toilet was constant.

My main gripe was not being given menus on the way back, despite spotting one of the crew reading from it so they knew that the dishes were. No idea what the weird green starter was but it had quinoa!

All we have been told is that the dividers have been removed from the aircraft with the XL bins due to 'issues' and a fix is in the pipeline with no estimate of when.

First time fying CE on BA for a while. CDG-LHR on June 14, and was lovely for such a short flight. I wish UA had meals like this...

To be fair, those newer/larger lockers are excellent. I was able to fit a reasonably full backpack on top of a cabin size suitcase. (We were in row 1, so no underseat stowage)

It was however a little bit "Come fly with me" at one point looking back and the only thing to signify the club cabin was the fabric headrest though!

Bah- that should have started part way in; ignore me!
