My wife and I flew from London City to Athens With Swiss on 12th June, returning on 27th June - something we have done quite frequently in our retirement.
Going out, via Geneva, we were surprised to find that, in Economy, Cabin Crew were supplied with a chart which appeared to show whether passengers had booked 'light' -hand baggage only or 'classic' - with hold baggage. If the former, you were offered a glass of water. The latter were given a paper bag with a small bottle of water and a roll ( with jam on the first leg and with cheese on the second leg). Anything else appeared to be a pay fore it option - even a coffee.This created both extra work for the cabin staff and a certain amount of amused dismay for the passengers.
Returning, via Zurich, normal food and beverage arrangements operated. We are left wondering whether we were exposed to some weird budget cutting experiment or whether there was a rational reason for this LOCO approach? We'd be interested to learn the inside story.
