Business Class

Lunch , Special meal: no
I was surprised to get a choice of meals and even a little menu card on this short haul flight. Seems like the 'BA Cityflyer' flights get better catering the main line flights which is a bit odd but alone not worth putting up with the always awful London City Airport. Choice was a trio of salmon which my partner had (2 were good, one style apparently was inedibly bad) and I had smoked duck breast which unfortunately came with two of the world's worst vegetables- rocket and beetroot. Now we all know that both have been invented by Satan himself to make children cry and adults weep in pain so I wont' comment further on it. The duck breast itself, however, was actually quite tasty and all in all the meal a tick better than what I am used on mainline BA.

Three bottles of Heidsieck Monopole Blue cap champagne :-)

Adequate

Other: Tiny Embraer aircraft but in good condition so no issue. Decent crew, however only two attendants on the entire aircraft so more often than not, our Business class attendant was in the back helping out in cattle class which didn't exactly help the service quality. Yes, the plane is rather small, but I would strongly suggest to add a third staff member so that one is always up the front. We all want a second or third champers, don't we! ;-)
