The only edible food on LOT is the salmon tartare (but then, I do roughly 100 flights a year with LOT, and the chances of getting it served are at par with experiencing a day without rain in the country that employs me, so to speak). Rest, apart from the (again, rare, these days) salmon fillet you get served on e.g. LHR, is rubbish. In the last 4 years or so, they haven’t bothered to make even the slightest adjustment to the current catering options, which says a lot about their emphasis (or lack of) towards their so-called premium cabins, and customer experience needless to say (customers paying premium fares). On the whole, though (and I said this in previous occasions), considering where I live and given the limited options (LH/FRA amongst the very few, enough said…), LOT remains a viable choice because of the ease-of-transfer at WAW, good on-time performance (tiny airline) and arguably one of the best lounge products in Europe.

The meals are tiny, AMS gets a cold meal, BRU gets a hot one. Looking on FR24 today, the BRU flight was 5 mins shorter than AMS 🤡.

Helga doesn’t have an “ambient” Zabka breakfast of a stale roll, pot of long-life hummus and a Kaczynski sausage from Sky Bar.

Put it this way, LOT’s offer pre-dates the time when Helga was pouring you a beer and handing you a sarnie in Economy.

What about the drinks in Y on AMS? Any observations AlicorporateUK?

You surely mean my usual, premium breakfast from AMS on one of the usual, cheap fares ex-AMS?

Just off 265 (C cabin packed first on a Sunday morning, pilots heading to the simulator?). Trial confirmed, beer remains our favourite, wine I couldn’t get what she said, I forgot to ask whether it’s the usual mini-bottle or other ad-hoc arrangement, will do so next week.

Again, I don't mean to claim LO's food is good. But for example the beef cheeks are miles ahead of anything Lufthansa serves on European flights in my opinion.

I thought the consensus was the hot meals on LH are good? If we are comparing like for like.

Is the LOT ambient C breakfast Europe's worst? Considering it's as it should be, not some mistake in catering. Is there anything more crap being dished up to luxury pax in European skies?

I’d still say KLM’s is worse. At least LOT have the decency to serve theirs on a tray with proper crockery and provide a tablecloth.

The above “box of wonders” was handed to me on a flight from Budapest to Amsterdam in Summer 2022. Remember that that’s comparable in length to BUD-LHR, where BA would offer three options (two hot and one cold).

Particularly depressing are the words “Wooden Cutlery”, printed upon the packaging as if this detail were supposed to impress.

No wonder Lufthansa get away with what they do when this is the disgraceful alternative.

We will have to let the community decide but to me that is decidedly better than the bread thing, long-life Hummus pot and a fruit pouch?

KLM have been crap for as long as I can remember. When BArb had G&T and sarnies in Y, and AF had meal trays on some routes in Y, KL was still crap in J. Just like their lounges, terrible now, terrible then. Now it’s all weird that they have free drinks and sarnies in Y and the rest have nothing, and all of BArb’s lounges are not even the better than T2 LHR with her Where’s Wally curry’s etc.

A few weeks ago someone sent me the post of the chefs mixing up the wrong slop to go with the salmon in the CCR, instead of whatever, they put the shepherds pie mince 🤣.

Btw, in 2022 and 2023 Basia was doing the wooden cutlery in C as well, I posted about it, #destinationEco.

LX is so much better than LH. Simpler & tastier. Don't know why it is s hard to have decent s/h J catering - I usually skip it unless for some reason I had no time to grab something in the lounge.

Maybe it is the consensus, I don't know. I didn't like them.

Depends on who you ask. It is a valid point that LO should offer hot breakfast on routes to countries where it's common (LHR, etc). But I consider it equally problematic when a European airline doesn't offer a continental option, as is the case with Lufthansa. There is a reason why it's called continental breakfast - it's what people eat on the continent.

Any morning flight in C on LH is basically catering-free for me because even the idea of eating a sausage or bacon for breakfast makes my stomach sick, and actually eating them would incur some additional cleaning costs for Lufthansa.

There should be a choice of either continental or hot (British?) breakfast. But if it's supposed to only be one option, then choosing continental as that option makes 100% sense for an airline based in Poland. I can imagine that uptake of a hot breakfast would be extremely low on AM departures from Poland (but the situation may be very different in the opposite direction).

You are, again, making a lot of generalizations based on your personal opinions.

Well, the taste is subjective in its nature, I'm not disputing that some people may like Heimat. I just said I don't. The only generalisation I've made is that people on the continent generally prefer to eat continental breakfast. If someone disagrees with my conclusion, that's fine. Everything else I posted is an openly personal opinion :)

Yes & this is a forum, someone likes Heimat ? amazing. :D

Basia will be delighted to hear there’s a fan of her ambient “continental” brekkie though.

I do, chocolate dessert is nice. 😊
Rest can be return back.

On LO there is only a dessert on the routes that get the main dish hot/cold meal :o

I guess the chocolate pumpkin seeds are "dessert"? :D
