Not to make it better, but it actually looks like a typical Dutch lunch with yoghurt, bread and sandwich fillings. Coming from Norway, I have to say it would be spot on as a Norwegian lunch too.

Yes, she did indeed offered a crew meal. Declined the offer twice but she said she already had eaten in her hotel and was not going to eat it.

Does anyone have any experience with kids meals in business class? The website just talks about economy kids having a hamburger which my son won’t eat. Thanks!

Is there a link where you can see whats on the menu for certain flights? Going to Bangkok by end of November, traveling in J class. That´s my first LH flight since 19 month and I haven´t flown KLM for ages. My memories on KLM meals are not too good, so I m thinking of ordering a special meal.

It looks like short haul catering might have changed on 1st November. On my AMS-KRK that day I got a Caesar salad in the box, which was ok (it's still crap business class catering).

The 6am departure is supposed to have the cold cuts, but they'd load the wrong meals ¾ of the time. We'll see if things truly never change.

Some catering changes have come into effect since sunday;
EUR flights; no change in on board service in economy ( except that CPH, Johan...! and BER will now receive a so called short service; meaning only a drink and snack all day
In J class; the Ceasar salad and ... falafal bulgur salad will return, on the longest flights an extra hot roll besides the other hot sandwich will be offered.
2 white and 2 red wines are available and selection of spirits. Hot towels will be offered as well
The major change takes place in economy longhaul; pax will receive more filling main meal / 2 choices during first service , a bigger green salad , a piece of beemster cheese and a hot roll with a flavour, eg Italian herbs. Butter and condiments box are gone, also to reduce waste.
During coffee service a pastry, eg apple pie will be offered. on flights from AMS Beverage selection will see return of ginger ale from december onwards but alcoholic beverages will be limited as currently to wine/beer as on European flights in economy.
In C class ; on all flights hot rolls and in the morning croissants will return as will yoghurt and granola as an extra option. Main dishes during first service should include a salmon/chciken and new ricetable dish . Dont have more information on this though yet....
In between snacks will see the return of an ice cream, and on flights to Japan/Korea chopsticks and slippers will be back. Its expected that by march local staff on Japan and Korea will return as well
Next year will see the introduction of premium comfort economy with likely 22 W seats More information to be revealed during the next months.
