British Airways breakfast

[filthiestfis]

Im travelling on the 07.30 from Gatwick to Venice BA flight in Economy class, in a couple of weeks. Im wondering if they serve a hot breakfast on this route (sausage, scrambled egg etc) or some awful panini baguette?

[dot.hawkes]

probably the pannini baguette, that's what we get when we go from manchester to heathrow and it is probably the same for venice.

[filthiestfis]

But Man to LHR is a domestic service. LGW-VEN is not!

[buildersmate]

Well LHR to Split (Croatia) is those awful panini things, so based on the law of probabilities ...........

[filthiestfis]

Yes-I think that they only serve a hot breakfast on Business Class now. What a shame for a once great airline. More like BS than BA.

[redcrx]

Heathrow to Paris was a cheese and ham roll for breakfast

How long is the flight an hour ish? Can't you live without food for that long?

[filthiestfis]

An hourish to Venice? You don't travel much do you? Do you take caravan holidays in Norwich?

[jno]

Gatwick-Venice is over 2 hours, so if you don't fancy a panini maybe you could get something at the airport before you board?

To be honest I have had the non panini breakfast on BA and I always swerve the eggs anyway. Buy a BLT in the terminal, much better.

[filthiestfis]

Thanks for your suggestions. Im curious as Im travelling with my parents who are in their sixties and expecting a warm breakfast on BA like they used to serve in the old days.

[Reverandfunk]

OOhhh 2 hours and not an hour whoopee do. Just buy a Boots meal deal before you get onboard much better value.

[Reverandfunk]

Or of course you could just check with BA

[filthiestfis]

Oh the reverend is such a wiseguy *rolls eyes*

[auntiebertie]

Took this flight about a month ago - it was the panini thingie
and some juice and a yoghurt I seem to remember.

[filthiestfis]

Thanks very much Auntiebertie!

every time I have been with BA recently it has been a sandwich in 2 parts, one of which is an inedible chicken tikka. I have written to them about it as it is horrible!

[filthiestfis]

grasscarp-I doubt they will pay attention to you. Their sandwiches are indeed horrible. Its a shame that BA has gone down this route. Look at it like this: If easyjet fly to the same airport, but are �40 cheaper...is that "complimentary food and drink" that BA provide really worth the extra cost?

[filthiestfis]

The sandwich choice I always get is the chicken tikka or tuna and sweetcorn. Both are disgusting. My sister has been ordering Kosher meal for the past 2 years as she claims the food is better!

[grasscarp]

a resounding no! Enjoy your trip.

[filthiestfis]

Thanks grasscarp. Will be flying into Venice and flying back from Pisa with BA :P
