Comments: This is the kind of meal that you will get for BMI dawn departures. On this occasion, the Panini didn't taste that nice... However, I shouldn't complain... my flight was so cheap and bmi still serve a hot (and free meal) in Y-class.

Route: LHR - GLA, 23 Dec 2003
Ticket price: GBP 60
Flight duration: 1 hour
Aircraft type & class: A320, Y-Class
Business or leisure trip: Business
Meal type: Breakfast
Contents of the meal: The famous bmi Breakfast Panini! (Creamy mushroom omelette)
Drink: OJ, Coffee
Comments: Dawn flight from LHR to GLA. I was looking forward to something hot because the Diamond Club doesn't have hot food. When I opened up the Panini and checked the contents, I thought that it looked pretty horrible, however, I found the omelette quite nice although the Panini bread was a bit heavy. One negative about bmi is their coffee... I know that they serve Kenco (a so-called 'brand name') but the taste doesn't match the coffee served by other European carriers. e.g. LH, KL, Lauda
Overall, decent effort by bmi for such a short flight.

I had a new camera so took more than usual... Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to ask me why I was taking the pix! If she did, I would have explained to her about AM.net!!

Meal type: Snack
Contents of the meal: Sandwich with Chicken and tomato chutney filling.
Drink: Sparkling warter (alcohol was available but I didn't have any)
Comments: nice light snack for such a short flight. The flight got really bumpy during the meal service and the cabin crew did very well not to spill any drinks.
The purser was holding a tray with 2 cups of coffee when the turbulence hit us and I was surprised and impressed that she didn't spill it. She put the tray down on the floor and held on tight to a seat...

Comments: Mmm... not what you'd really expect in BC. To make matters worse, the Champagne was not cold, so I left it. Someone please tell British Midland to chill their Champagne. Oh, and let's go back to proper crockery and a cheese plate, and forget this cheap picnic idea.
