	I've been mulling this over for sometime. Maybe it is just me, but for desert it is cheese and biscuits or something chilled. I remember a few years ago some really descent ice cream, particularly the matcha green tea and a very rich vanilla by the ice cream union from memory. I was just told its only on the summer menu, well it is June and on BA5... Read More

I'm keen to hear what other FT members have to say with regards to this. I was seated at 39A on CX734, SIN to HKG. Next to me was a Caucasian guy based... Read More

# 15	What if many travellers boycott paid advance seat selection ? Started Yesterday by MasterGeek Last post 9:30 am by MasterGeek	TravelBuzz	9 replies	494 views
	What if there was an initiative to boycott paid advance seat selection that gained massive/viral traction? Will airlines stop charging for advance seat selection ?
