BA Breakfast?

jodie114

I wanted some clarity please.
We are flying by BA to rome on monday, at 7am.
On the the website, it states you will be given breakfast, with tea and coffee on all european flights.
When i phoned up this morning just to check, panicking i know, i was told as the flight was under 3h it would be snacks only.
Then called again, and got told it was a breakfast sandwich....
does anyone actually know what we will be given?
we are usual cattle class!

There are some photos over on http://www.airlinemeals.net/viewsearch.php?start=1&x=1#

But BA are always changing their catering, so I'd have a little something in the terminal before boarding.

I wouldn't get too excited. All it will be is a small sandwich or muffin. Even in the fancy seats at the front, the catering has been cut back on short haul flights.

To save on the panicking or hunger, make sure you eat at the airport or take something onboard with you.

Looking at some of those pics I think I'd rather have a McDonalds big breakfast before boarding.

We just flew to and from Malaga with BA - the food was atrocious as were the miserable check in staff.
A stale brown bread tuna/mayonaise sandwich going and white cheese and onion chutney coming back - no choice offered.
No crisps, nuts or chocolate on board either unless you want to pay £7 for a bag of Milka.
All served by surly staff - what has happened to BA?

I used to love flying with them a few years ago but now it was shocking to see such uncaring people on both flights.

It's the way short haul flying is going, even on the "full service" carriers. Fly on Iberia (BA's sister company after the merger) and you have to pay for all drinks and food on board, even water.

thanks for the warning - the problem is there is no mcdonalds etc in the north terminal at gatwick, we have the choice of costa etc and with a 8yo who will be starving by 6am i am a little stuck!

Just take your own sandwiches / snacks - problem solved

Yep, absolutely naf all at the North Terminal I've just checked, doesn't bode well, we are flying with Thomson in a few weeks from the north terminal a 06:00 I hope their idea of breakfast isn't the same as BA, I can't stand Tuna sandwiches so looks like I'll be going hungry until we get bookrd in at resort probably around mid day, not good if you have kids.

i was planning to, but we are staying in the premier inn at the airport the night before, so no fridge etc, we will prob. get a boots meal deal i guess, just wouldn't have minded less to carry around!
