We used to get $155 u.s. in allowance for the Lagos layover, now we get enough to just sqweak out a couple of "Star" local beers - but the food is free in any of the rest's including room service. Where I think this new deal is crap is that on the second day you only get breakfast and lunch. We leave the Sheraton at 6:30pm and do not depart LOS until 8:50pm. By the time the cc have time to bring up a dinner its 10 o'clock pm and im starving like hell !! EK is going to have to put on a dinner the second day(but of course that will end up costing way more than the original $155 in allowance). So, its ASR time - I cant wait so long to eat dinner, and I hate to fly hungry (might impair my judgement, safety & all). So please change the damn system back to giving us the allowance to purchase our own meals,sundries etc.. We are big guys & gals, and can stretch it out to make sure we are all well watered and well fed !!!!
