I don’t want to get this thread off topic, but I would like to respond, Torquelink.
Agreed most Y class food is average at best but this was very poor (unfortunately I’ve eaten a lot of Y class food in the last few years and I do know the difference).
Free booze? Yes, the trolley came around once on each sector. I’d rather pay for it and not feel guilty about asking for another beer if I fancied one.
The fare? I paid £223 for LGW-LPA-LGW which I don’t consider cheap.
There was no film, no music and only a moving map display to watch. The rest of my party were on a First Choice package and they got films, music, good service and ‘quite nice’ food.
I don’t mind getting lo-co service for lo-co prices, but I think I got the worst of both worlds with GB.
