Meal: Lunch/Light Meal - Lunch Starter: Peppered salmon w/ inaniwa noodles and yuzu dressing. Main course: Caesar salad with chickin (cold)
Light Meal Starter: King prwans with a mango and coriander salsa. Main course: Four cheese ravioli and roast vegetables in a creamy Parmesan cheese and basil sauce.
Drink: Buck's Fizz
Comments: Nothing exciting about the meal offerings. BA serves a "bag" of cashew nuts with drinks prior to the meal. BA seems to have focused on the comfort aspect of the flight with their innovative seats and not so much on the meals. The annoying high pitched voice of the Japanese cabin crew working upstairs had an attitude worth remembering. She'd never get hired by a Japanese airline. Overall, a comfortable but not so memorable flight.

Drink: Pikes Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2005 (Australian)
Comments: Excellent catering out of London. The starters were fresh indeed. The bread selection on BA is excellent. The lime olive oil dressing was perfect with subtle but enough citrus in it. The main course needed salt and some spice, but it was good all the same. The cheese selection was typically British and great too. BA service is tops, especially the Indian crew who were smiley and warm all through.

Meal: Light meal - Fresh seasonal salad, followed by "Indian vegetarian dish of palak paneer (cottage cheese cubes with spinach), aloo mutter capsicum masala (peas potato masala), jeera pulao (cumin seed rice)." Dessert was "Vineet Bhatia's chilled rice pudding infused with white chocolate and roast coconut."
Drink: Heidsiek Monopole Blue Top Brut Reserve Champagne
Comments: Extremely bad meal in terms of taste, presentation, and quality. I believe BA has got this meal terribly wrong. A full lunch should have been served or this light meal should have been more quantitative. The salad was so limp and dry, it wouldn't have passed any quality test. The Indian option was tasteless, saltless, spiceless. Bad. It was like a punishment. The other options were worse. The dessert I didn't try. BA should swap their meals, and serve a light breakfast and a full lunch. Or they should serve two full meals. There was no cheese option either. The wines on their list weren't loaded. The catering was by Oberoi Flight services. They should be penalised and removed as caterers. Shame on them.

Comments: 0815 flight out Delhi. Poor breakfast, great service. I asked for cereal (off the menu), and they brought me one from first class. The croissant was too dry by overheating.

After landing in London the meal gave me really bad diarrhea the worse part was they lost my baggage and I had to stay at the Hotel next to the toilet for the next 3 days, Ive never been this sick before. They must have slipped some spoiled meat in the meal, they insisted it was vegetarian.

Aircraft: 747-400
Meal: BA's "Sleeper Service" Nightcap Snack and Breakfast - Nightcap cocktail after takeoff: Champagne cocktail and macadamia nuts

Nightcap snack after takeoff: A simple green salad with olive oil dressing and an olive bread sandwich (room temperature) filled with creamed spinach, leeks and cheese. On the tray, we were also provided two chocolates in a small box.

Pre-arrival breakfast consisted of: Coffee, a bowl of mixed fruit and a croissant.

While this onboard offering is a bit simple and uncreative for international business class, we must admit the pre-flight supper (self-serve buffet) in the departure lounge was very appealing and consisted of choices such as sea bass, roast turkey, pasta, stir fry, cheeses, vegetables, etc., so it made up for the onboard simplicity offered by a very indifferent BA cabin crew (Example: I was offered a glass of water after boarding by the attendant on my aisle, while my travel companion was offered a glass of champagne by a different member of the cabin crew on his side of the aisle -- in business class!).
Drink: Champagne cocktail as a nightcap and coffee for breakfast
Comments: On late evening departures from JFK, BA offers "Sleeper Service" in Club World Business Class. You are offered pre-flight supper in BA's Club World Departure Lounge at JFK and a buffet breakfast in BA's Arivals Lounge at LHR upon arrival. This concept is designed to allow you maximum sleep onboard; however, you must assume responsibility for arriving early at JFK to enjoy the pre-flight supper or staying after your flight for if you desire a heartier breakfast in the LHR arrivals lounge.

The fruit, though packaged, tasted very fresh. I didn't try the sultana and chewy cake because I was already pretty full from a day of eating, so I simply put it away and saved it to have as a snack some other time.

My brother had the braised beef option, which he said was also good, but he did not want to take a photo of it when I asked him to. Interestingly enough, the same two options were also offered when I flew from London to Newark in December, though, that time, I had chosen beef.

The lemon meringue pie, however, was inedible...the lemon curd filling was average but the meringue smelled of raw egg whites and was gritty with undesolved sugar. The flight was meant to be 2 hours and 5 minutes, but we arrived in about 1 hour and 40 minutes. For such a short flight it was a lot of food.

Comments: I did not switch to wine, because I felt not very active after too many glasses of champagne. The sad it is, I had to drink water... But the wines are very special. They have a unique collection of fine wines, specially chosen for Concorde, from some of the finest vineyards in the classic regions of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. These wines have been purchased, sometimes several years in advance, and cellared until ready to drink.

Although everything was smaller meal-wise for this flight, the quality was still good. The steak was very nice, bit more gravy/sauce would have topped it off! The carrots and the asparagus were hard, but the rest was OK. BA really made up for not serving anything on the flight out!!

Comments: A good rating as food was Muslim food instead of just vegetarian food. Quality of food was great and I did not felt that it is an ordinary airline food. Quantity of food was quite small and our flight time was extended to nearly 14 hours due to weather but this food was not enough even for 10-11 hours flight.

Comments: Simply Disgusting! I will never understand how an airline that has the most innovative, fresh and delicious snacks on its European routes can serve such a disgusting snack on a long-haul flight. Insubstantial and cheaply presented ­ almost like school lunch bag. The sandwich was absolutely tasteless and remained so even after I sprinkled all the salt and pepper provided on it. The cake was tiny, dry and tasteless. The only saving grace was the tea which is always a delight on BA. 2/10 would have been 1 without the tea!

Comments: Pre dinner Drink: full bar offered; had a classic gin & tonic which was served with a packed snack.
After the bar service crew came throgh with a choice of wines; opted for the white one - Zinfandel - which was a good choice: fruity and crisp. A second round of wine was offered when the meals was served.
I really like BA's main meals. Nice presentation and good quality. Salad was fresh, Main was hot and rich in flavor and the cake was sinnfully good. A nice meal all in all, yet a little too heavy on the stomach.
Crew was nice and attentive as well. IFE is the best you can get across the Atlantic with excellent programming, big personal screens and good headsets. BA also still offers comprehensive an high quality amenity kits. The only downside is the seating. Seats were horrible. Old wobbly, and cramped. After 2 hours I started getting cramps in my legs.

Starter:Pate with figs.
Main:Chicken with cheese tortellin in tomatoe sauce
Dessert:White Chocolate mousse with rasberry sauce
Brie and Mature Chedder cheeses with crackers, breadroll

Drink: G&T, Sauvignon Blanc, tea, water
Comments: I booked very late and BA was actually cheaper than Easyjet. For £25 I was able to upgrade the return leg of my trip to business and I'm glad I did! As well as lounge access I had more space on a full flight than I would of in the main cabin. Plus a great meal!!

I got to try pate which I've never really liked before, but I really really liked this! I could of had another plate full. It was crumbly but it had like butter underneath it. Gorgeous taste! The tray came with the starter there and the dessert and cheeses as well. The person sitting next to me finished his dessert before his main course, but what the heck, you can do what you want I guess! My main meal was the Chicken with cheese tortellin. The other option was King Prawns with sweet and sour noodles. I had a hankering for pasta though and I think the FA was happy as they were low on prawns! However, the chicken was very good. Nice sixe chunks of chicken mixed in a good sause and perfectly cooked pasta.

The white chocolate mouse was an oral sensation on the taste buds. The rich creamy flavour of the light and fluffy mousse was brought to a head by the chocolate layer and the rasberry sause just oozed just enough contrast to bring you down to earth (well, back to 35000ft anyway!).

Even the cheese was a delight. The soft and creamy brie spread on the crackers like a white sticky honey. The long, strong and hard piece of cheddar was a savoury bite that rounded of the meal superbly, particulalry when washed down with the white sav.blanc recommeded by the FA.

A very tasty and satisfying meal!

This is a fairly short "long haul" flight for BA, and I was amazed to be offered a choice of three hot meals - salmon, chicken or parsley risotto. I went for the parsley and my colleague went for the salmon. Both were superb.
Prawn and pasta salad that accompanied it was overcooked, and the ingrediants were soggy. Washed down with lots of french white wine. Service was excellent

Picture 3: grilled sea bass with caviar cream sauce, swiss chard, and wild rice; olive roll and bread (from basket of choices), Champagne cocktail made with Charles Heidsieck Mis En Cave 1997 (I believe it was a Kir Royale on this occasion).
comments: A very enjoyable brunch by a friendly and personable crew after waiting 90 minutes on the aircraft for de-icing and re-de-icing! We had to spend the night in the airport (Newark) the previous night due to heavy snow, and there was no way to leave the airport (no taxis or other transport available)! The fruit plate was done especially well with an excellent presentation.
