BA reveal the pre-packed future for inflight meals

BA has revealed a much reduced inflight catering service, which includes pre-packed meals – but no alcohol in short-haul economy. The airline is preparing to step up operations after grounding almost all services as the coronavirus pandemic took hold. BA says: “We’ve introduced an enhanced temporary catering proposition. Our new food service requires less interaction with our cabin crew, greatly reducing physical contact. You’ll be offered a new food service which will reduce physical contact with our crew, you’ll be able to choose between a vegetarian or non-vegetarian option. If you have special dietary requirements or allergies, please bring your own food and snacks.” On domestic and short-haul economy flights, passengers will get a bottle of water and “refreshment”. Passengers in the airline’s short-haul business class, Club Europe, get “a light snack (breakfast or all-day option)” and alcohol served either as miniatures or quarter-bottles of wine. Long-haul passengers in economy, World Traveller Plus and Club World, will also be offered alcohol, as well as “a meal service (breakfast or all-day option)”.<br/>
