Maybe the half sandwich second meal will be cut in half so you now have a starter and a main!

Depends how they define enhancement! Likely to be a return to full pre Covid service across all longhaul cabins, including second service hot meals in Y and W class on longer sectors, etc.

Hopefully the announcement includes the phrase, "with immediate effect" or "from tomorrow, 13th July on all routes".

I expect it will mean the changes will kick in before the winter schedule at any rate. Here's hoping!

I'm expecting the WT+ two fingered Kit Kat to be enhanced to a single finger.

This is poetic

I must be the only person in Club that prefers the whole meal dumped in front of me. Get it over with, it's hardly an experience you want to prolong.

Understandable in a sense, yes.

By contrast, my two most recent long hauls with Iberia offered a most agreeable, quasi-restaurant, dining experience, with several quality courses, all presented individually from the trolley. CC were highly efficient too (although I do find that addressing them in Spanish invariably creates a better spirit)

I will never understand why an airline under the same ownership - and based in a country that was every bit as impacted by Covid-19 as was UK - can produce much better biz class catering than BA seem to manage in their CW cabins.

If BA catering does return to pre-pandemic standards, then it will in essence be no more than a long-overdue restoration of the status quo, rather than a genuine improvement. But let’s see what actually happens on the 12th …… maybe it will prove a pleasant surprise.

There seem to have been countless changes / enhancements to BA catering, across various cabins, over the last few years - not least the much-hyped, but short-lived, total revamp to the CW offer. More changes than most major airlines. I think it would be better if BA could once & for all implement high standards befitting of premium cabins - and simply stick to them, rather than constantly changing in ways that so often generate negative feedback and page after page of grim photos.

All IAG's management team needs to do is to copy what its partners like CX and JL are doing in Asia and we can all stop complaining!

Longhaul business class dining should be an experience (in a good way) for those that want it. It’s fine to offer a single tray option as an express alternative, but as the only ‘option’ is simply not competitive with the competition.

Look to Asia and not America for inspiration!

Wishful thinking I’d say. You might be waiting a while.

And perhaps try to imitate QR too (which just happens to be IAG’s largest single shareholder …..)

I used to really appreciate the chilled main course salad option in CW. I think I was in the minority but always found it consistently good and quite substantial, as well as relatively healthy.

I hope whatever is announced has been properly tested on the line on each aircraft type & config by cabin crew.

No more silliness of the charger not really fitting on the tray or the trolley not fitting down the aisle. The catering needs to be customised to work with the equipment!

I albeit briefly assumed this was a genuine leak
