Self service
A few points to make here:
- It seem it is OK for self service in the airline lounges prior to boarding. I've managed a skinful myself on the odd occasion (without falling about and making a bloody pest of myself) and haven't required further servicing.
- First & business service is usually so good (on most carriers) that we shouldn't need self service. Needed it badly on last QF trip London - Sydney though.
- Travel about in steerage occasionally usually QF. You're kidding me aren't you? How long has there been a bar service in economy? Can't say I've seen much of it.
