Business Class

Dinner , Special meal: no
When I was presented with a tray with the appetizer, salad and main dish together, I thought that this was done for the sake of practicality due to our very late departure. In this case I totally understand the necessity for an expedited meal service which I don't mind in order to maximize sleep for passengers. As I found out later on my return flight, this new protocol of serving everything together except for the dessert was the norm now. I was shocked that a regular meal service has actually turned into some sort of "express dining" one on long haul, at least to deep South America. The small vegetarian appetizer was unremarkable, especially on a long haul flight to a meat eating country like Brazil. The pepper and olive tapenade of the fish had a slight citrus undertone in the sauce and overall this dish did not leave me impressed at all. After the meal the FA asked if I wanted dessert. I chose the cake and it was brought to me with a cup of tea. There was no trolley service and if they offered ice cream it was no longer the "create your own" kind with different toppings.

Water and tea

Disappointing
