Last night I was in the unusual position of having a Club Europe ticket coming back from a day trip to Oslo and had the opportunity to get an earlier flight.,i rang my travel agent and changed to the 17.10 flight from the 20.00 flight origionally booked.
Not long after boarding I was informed by the ground staff that due to the change of flght that there was no meal loaded for me.
Normally as I travel the other side of the curtain, I have no expectation in the way of food other than a cup of tea as i have given up on the same sandwiches on every flight and usually if hungry buy something in the terminal. Ididnt do this on this occasion due to the expectation that a club ticket would have a meal associated with it.
On this occasion my ticket was over £800 and as such I expected that for a premium cabin that there would be an oversupply on the catering side.
At the end of the day I did get a meal as someone else refused their meal.
Is this standard practice to only load exactly meals matching the passenger count.?
