Didn't bother eating on my LHR-OTP flight, but here's the menu:



(Blanket and pillow on the seat. Physical menus handed out.
My glass, from my sole drink near the start of the flight, still sitting centre table after landing - ok, i was dozing on and off a bit so may have missed subsequent runs).

So my complaint yielded 10,000 Avios. Fair result

Do & Co really need to learn not to overthink the inevitable too much and turn out quality options instead of putting some overzealous maverik child in charge of menu options. The $h**e they're turning out these days quite frankly beggers belief.

Just boarded a flight in row 5 behind CE and there is no divider - only way you can tell the difference is the smalls cloths on the headrests. Not seen that before.

and your problem with that is what?

Were I to find myself with a plane load of Crawley International’s unfinest and with a tray of that slop like that, I would know that I had died gone to hell. I’d turn to a bottle of something fit for human consumption. My dog would turn his snout up at that.

Are you on a Neo? The ones with the new, larger overhead bins don’t have cabin dividers yet. Some of the old BMI aircraft have been missing theirs at various times too.

It was indeed (G-TTNR) I Wouldn’t have thought it was a Neo with the state of the cabin I thought it was much older. The last Neo I flew actually felt new. No wifi on this today either.

UIP-LCY. The 16.50 flight had as its presentation a tray with the a packet dainty finger sandwiches. These were accompanied by Lemon Dribble cake. They could not make tea or coffee but they had champagne and Tanqueray gin. For this they were proposing a 180 Euro upgrade I saw. I do not have a picture as I had finished my Snackette before I remembered. Shame!

Lemon Dribble cake! Freudian slip or autocorrect?

OTP-LHR, breakfast.

Couple of drinks runs, blanket and pillow on seat, no menus.
Bread basket offered once.
Glass actually removed before landing this time.
Same crew as yesterday as little interaction with anyone.


Omelette with kale and sweet potato. Nothing special, but edible.

XENOLE,

Thanks for posting the images.

You may just have given 'StuMcGrew' nightmares.

I'd agree with Stu here, that omelette looks awful. I'm getting nauseous just looking at the picture.
