Sometimes You Have To Just Laugh At BA
 

Just flown TRN to LGW in CE and looking forward to the afternoon Cream Tea. A rather red faced FA was very apologetic and said, "it's a cream tea....but without a scone" :D:D

When I asked why she said, "I just think they forgot to load the scones". So it was the usual savoury sandwiches, plus a pot of jam and carton of cream still served....but no scone :confused:

Caused a fair bit of amusement......brilliant :D

How's your flight into LGW btw? Heard another round of cancelled etc.

But was there tea?

Don't laugh...claim compensation for the distress caused!!

BA is clearly concerned about its passengers consuming unnecessary carbs. Consider it a service to your health.

(I'd be fuming. Love a scone.)

Probably somebody allergic to currents on board.

Not possible, there was no in-seat power.

It pushed back from TRN bang on time at 15:15, we were airborne within 5-7 minutes and landed at LGW about 15-20 minutes early. Jetty connected within a few minutes and we were off the plane :tu:

All in all, a really good flight (minus the scones :D) because it always seem a risk arriving early nowadays as there is often no ground staff available to meet the flight until the allotted landing time.

The red-faced FA did add, "yes it's a pity because yesterday they really were delicious" :rolleyes::D

in a paper cup presumably given that's the current standard...

Why would you laugh at yet another service failure?

I assume the fact that is happening quite often ( service failure) is becoming a joke now. On the other hand, I only had very few service failures from BA apart from the delays/cancellations which are already a joke…

Because it was a cream tea without a scone but the Jam and Clotted Cream were still on the tray, rendering them somewhat useless. Coupled with the highly embarrassed (but honest) FA saying, "I just think they forget to load them" :D

Thanks BOH ! Perhaps in the interest of getting in the air on time, they forgot the scones and that I am ok. :D

Ex-LHR I had the scone and jam last week but no clotted cream.
