In-flight BA dining
To get from Nice to London, I opted to fly on British Airways. A decade earlier, I was a BA Gold Card member. I booked this NCE-LHR without much enthusiasm, aware that the cheeseparing regime of former CEO Alex Cruz had imposed draconian cuts to the airline’s standards of comfort and service. The Economy Class seat-pitch had been tightened to an unacceptable 29 inches (Ryanair offers better) and food was strictly buy-on-board. So I forked out $672 for a 1-way Club Class ticket for a 31-inch seat pitch and free scoff. This was the food offering - OK, but nothing to excite the palate. The service was OK, but ditto: BA cabin staff can be friendly or totally aloof and even perfunctory. The flight was punctual and I had no issues with checked-in luggage. I give it a 7/10 rating, but I won’t rushing back to BA anytime soon.
