praa Uummmm, it sounds like you haven't travelled long haul economy for a while? If they go straight to the meal and a drink, that saves one round of free drinks and little packets full of nasty, salty junk (
) and they offer pasta because it's cheaper than meat - and has become fashonable.
I could go on but you've already found that lower fares mean lower service!!
And if you say that you paid full rate, so does that not constitute high fares? The answer is to compare the fare paid for that journey 25 years ago and then adjust for inflation.
