Economy with the Full Monty
I recently did a return trip across the Atlantic with Air Canada in economy. I found them to be a very decent and efficient airline. I'd say they were way above average - if only they didn't scrimp on the catering.
No idea why but I have always had a very soft spot for the old ritual of a pre-dinner G&T and a bag of peanuts (or even pretzels, if need be). Even if only in a dinky plastic cup, it still felt like you were being looked after properly.
But Air Canada skips the drinks. It's straight to the "chicken or pasta?" (BTW - whatever happened to "chicken or beef?") And when did I last see a hot towel in economy??
So which airlines out there are still offering the full monty in economy with some semblance of full service instead of snack bar catering?
P.S. I'd love to love you Air Canada but a plasic wrapped muffin is not a breakfast. Whatever happened to the apple slices that used to come with it?
