Just fixing that typo for BA's PR team

Hey Zaphod424,
Recommend using your Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses when subjected to a BA experience not entirely unlike tea:
Cheers,

Also a new Session IPA from Seven Brothers available to purchase in ET. As often seems to be the case, only two were loaded though!

Thanks as always for these updates Can I help you.

I�m flying in F over the Easter weekend so will be looking to avoid the special dish like the plague.

Thanks CIIHY. Any special surprise for the morning of April Fool�s Day?

It would be nice to find out that the British Airways �Club� has been the most elaborate April Fool�s Day joke of all time

This does not bode well when used to describe onboard catering 😭

Thanks for the updates. Is this the first �New for�� since last year?

It seems outside of the sensible decision to remove groups 6-26 for boarding, (Come on! Who really sat/stood at a gate and went �wait, we�re group 9, we need to wait for that to be called�did they just announce 8?! Ok, we�re next!!�), Aprils new for, are just for Easter and nothing beyond that weekend? Or will the meal choices stick?

The app and website will work perfectly until noon.

What�s with the mushy peas? Are they fusing Easter lamb with fish.n chips or something?

Now I understand why yesterday boarding announcement at LHR said that anyone with no group on boarding pass should board with group 5, instead of the usual 9.

9 was always a little ridiculous, especially on the narrowbodies. Glad they're getting rid of that.

British Airways' marketing department really needs to cut down on the adjectives.

Apart from being poor writing style, in this case they are repetitive and redundant. Everything is beautiful, delicious, rich, indulgent, delightful... when such flowery adjectives are used to describe something - in this case, an airline meal - that is almost inevitably going to be mediocre, they are almost guaranteeing customer disappointment.
