    Depends on the time of day. Standard economy service with BA would be a drink and bird seed immediately after take-off followed shortly after by a lunch or dinner service (even if it's an early flight you'll get a lunch service rather than a breakfast).

    Prior to landing you'll receive a light snack.

    Throughout the flight you'll regularly be offered soft drinks, and you'll be offered an alcoholic drink with your main food service. However, if you want another alcoholic drink you only need to ask your FA.

    Don't know about to JFK, but to Asia they have a Tuck Shop, where you help yourself to snacks. Though of course, it's best to confirm this with the airline.

    You are referring to the Club Kitchen, and that is available on all flights. However, it's only available to ClubWorld passengers (ie business class). Sadly, often non-business passengers take it upon themselves to wonder in and help themselves. Not good !!

    I found out the other day whilst talking to a friend that not everyone gets a seat that turns into a bed with fluffy pillows, cozy duvet, and a wake up call with a steaming hot mug of Coco. Perish the thought.
    Didn't know that people actually travel like this!!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
  • Having recently flown this route with BA (albeit in Premium Economy, but the servive is the same), I recall receiving a packet of nuts followed by a main meal on the (daytime) flight out. Nothing further foodwise as far as I can remember.

    On the (overnight) flight back, there was additionally a pastry and coffee about 90 minutes before landing.
