It's always the J passenger going up to F isn't it. Why can't the F pax join their friend in the Club kitchen? Or even the rear galley in Y if having a drink with them is so important?

My business partner flew J long haul about a year ago and said the only thing in the "Club Kitchen" was potato chips. In my experience, chips are hard to throw.

I’m going to invite a Y pax to hang out with me in F to be even more blasphemous.

Perhaps you can get them into a shower facility before the flight, so that they don't stink enough to attract attention.

I’m not sure these are reasonable solutions either, why should those in Y who already have limited space have to put up with people who aren’t in their cabin congregating? It’s bad enough when people in Y do it.

I’ve done four LH Club flights this year and the Club kitchen has had various soft drinks, wine, champagne, sandwiches, salads, puddings, shortbread biscuits, crisps and chocolate. Apart from the crisps (could lob the packet I guess) all of those could be thrown.

"Food items on board a BA flight suitable for throwing" is not a topic I envisioned ever starting. Well done me.

Actually, I can blame HIDDY. Always useful.

I would throw those splits of Nicky Foo; you certainly wouldn't want to drink the stuff, unless you could add something with the ability to hide that disinfectant like taste.


Finally found a use for this stuff

Well, it's an issue of numbers. You could get the entire F cabin to visit Y and nobody would really notice. The opposite is definitely not true.

Oh-oh, what a feeling!

This is actually where an onboard bar / seated area does work - flew QR F A380 recently, with the bar behind J. F pax can venture back to the bar, as can J; F can order F drinks on demand, else hang out with fellow (or unknown) J pax.

Cattle class passengers are more than welcome.

I hope they have seatbelts on those bar seats.
