I choose not to use B.A. for long haul flights for the many reasons quoted before. I was rather amused by keeperboys comment that on 95 pct of flights he has worked on, the crew have come round with juice and water between meals. Really - well can I ask the question why not on the other 5 pct of flights. 5 pct works out quite a lot of flight for a busy airline. Also is there not a standard policy for frequency of drinks or is it down to the individual cabin crew. I would be interested to know what the official policy is for drinks service.
