As if that is a normal thing to do...it's plain stupid to offer such a service on such a short flight, and it's even more stupid to demand it..... but then in india they would do anything to please you,so....i guess enjoy it....
Not necessarily. Those who are directly off to meetings all day and then directly back on the last flight of the day expect something substantial to keep them going. It now annoys me that I have to find somewhere else to eat post- or pre-flight these days from Band 2/3 destinations.
Good old UK / German domestic with full catering was a godsend at times.
