To give a little background there is a event at Do&Co today, after this has finished hopefully more information will be available.

Could the ‘event’ in question perhaps include an announcement by Do&Co that they cannot risk potential further damage to their own reputation by continuing to supply meals to airlines which operate with penny-pinching budgets …….

I do wish you had requested that CIHY enhances the word enhancement from his announcement

I've just received an email from BA announcing the ability to pre-purchase from the Speedbird Cafe range. Is that it?

I'm expecting it to be a good day to bury hugely underwhelming news.

I think this is about adding value so - You'll get your standard club world tray, with the ability to preorder a 'snack tray' (£24.90, 18,400 avios) with a selection of Mediterranean mezze, hummus, chorizo, olives, cured meats etc, or a 'dessert tray' (£16.74, 12,330 avios) which includes a classic British afternoon tea with Scone, plastic pot of clotted cream, unreasonably small tub of overset jam, etc.

Must be preordered, of course.
