Flew last week LHR-AMS-LHR on BD. No meal and beverages had to be purchased but still preferred this option rather than trek to STN to potentially save a few quid on RYR. I did not purchase any beverages but would not have begrudged it if I felt the need. 2 nights in a 3 star hotel and return flight package about 190GBP purchased a little while in advance. Guessing the airfare was a pretty good deal. Take that every time !
Went LHR-GLA-LHR a week earlier on BA. Hot breakfast served but it would not have bothered me if it was only coffee / tea as only just over 1 hour. Busy flight, elbows in. Some pax declined the hot breakfast.
