Thanks, I didn't realise. I always fly J and it's hard to reach that when you have the footstool down, especially with the table in position. I do think that if the catering is to remain so dire, they should put them in a more prominent position. Maybe given the tiny quantity of food now offered they could enhance them to a smaller size.

I don't get that after busting a gut to get Club Suite rolled out if they're matching it with prison food.
Especially as the people booking J at the moment seem to be Holiday makers looking for a one off experience.
What would help BA is to publish a road map back to normal catering. Like when the new concept was brought in start with NYLON and have all routes back within 3 months.
In the mean time actually pay the caterers to make better one tray specials.

Shame that they're flying to an Asian city but there's nothing in there that resembles an Asian dish. Someone must've thought, as long as there's jasmine rice, then it can reasonably pass off as an Asian dish?
And they've removed my favourite pre-arrival breakfast congee?

That said, there are only a handful of dishes on SQ's menu that's befittingly of mention from their BTC menu - lobster thermidor being one of them. The others of late are mainly reconstructed hawker dishes that are cheaply available in Singapore, you'd even see them used interchangeably between J and F classes.

I appreciate covid recovery will take time and there are supply chain issues but passing this off as normal CW is not really on.
My bet is that these catering reductions will end around the same time as most people have spent their FTVs - as a lot of the full cabins will be coming (Id think) from money taken during lockdowns etc, so cashflow / cash out must be under scrutiny. Im waiting for BAbybel to be listed on the cheeseboard.

Funny. I clicked the link to look at this forum, normally it takes me to the most recent post but for some reason it took me back to the first page. I didn't notice and was looking at reports of delicious food and some lovely photos, and I'm thinking "hang on a minute, how come they got all that nice stuff and I got served absolute trash on my flight last weekend". And then I noticed the date. If you look at the photos at the start of this thread and the recent ones there's honestly no comparison.
