(Menu Card)
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!).

Champagne cocktail as a nightcap and coffee for breakfast

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.
