GB airways cum BA Connect
I booked a flight (EGCC - LCPH) in January with GB airways,flying in September. I have just learned that the Manchester GB airways operation is now part of the BA Connect set up and as such I am required to buy food/drinks etc onboard. When I booked it was on the basis that I was fed and watered by BA.The website does say that BA will be in touch with all pax already booked.
Does anybody know what I'm going to be told - am I likley to receive some recompense/meal voucher or I am going to be told tough luck but you're paying now.
Thank all.

You won't get anything unless you booked in CE. People who were expecting spicy chicken with spicy salad and spicky pretzels with spicy chocolate mousse and spicy champagne (have you seen the food on offer in CE recently?) will be offered either a different flight out of London, a refund of the ticket or a refund of the ticket price difference between CE and EasyGB.
Trashytravellers will alas have to encompass the spin and realise how lucky they are to be experiencing this new concept in 21st century travel. Or something like that. To be honest I'd prefer to buy some nice food before the flight and eat it on onboard than suffer hot meals on a plane.

I stopped flying BA Connect from Bristol when they abandoned Club Class. Pity, 'cos the breakfasts were better than the Club World breakfasts on intercontinental flights.

bmibaby,
There is another minor point. For me, Bristol is rather more difficult to get to than Heathrow. Bristol to Paris had the advantage of being a slightly longer flight, so the meal wasn't as rushed. No Club Class means you don't get as many points on the Exec. Club card, too. So why should I have more hassle?
