Today BA introduces their new Club Europe catering which hopefully will improve things. There are several positive steps with no more paninis, the return of scones and better wines. I will look at what you can expect from each meal service with examples and also which routes will be in which bands. We will be reviewing band 1 and 2 destinations from Gatwick this month and Heathrow next month.
If you are flying in the next few weeks and would like to see your photo of your Club Europe meal featured on Turning Left for Less please contact us using the contact us page or through social media.
Although it appeared that BA were going back to the bands they had previously, it now looks like that they have changed slightly since last time. However in terms of service 1 & 2 appear to be grouped together as well as 3 and 4 so it makes little difference.
The following are examples of what you can expect to see in the first few weeks of the new service.
The wine choices appear to be better than the previous small bottles with a Mouton Cadet Bordeaux red or a Macon Villages as the French choices for example. There will be a choice of 2 red and 2 white wines or Castelnau champagne.

Pretty please? 😉 That would be great thanks Tom. I only have bands 1 & 2 until December at the moment.
1. Is this being rolled out gradually, or happening immediately ???
We are travelling Edinburgh to Gatwick on Friday (en route to Brighton), so hopefully will get to try it.
2. Are the timings you mention above (for which meal you will get) based on when you actually eat, or do they relate to scheduled take off time ???
Looking forward to meeting up on Saturday – is this now fixed for 5.30 pm ???
Hi. Immediately as far as I know and it is based on departure time. The timing for Saturday is to arrive by 5.30pm at the latest to ride at 6pm.
I have subsequently seen that Gatwick may not be immediate but the menus have been released for Gatwick which suggests it will be this month.
What band is Moscow DME? I fly BA LHR-DME regularly and have never understood the service..
DME is club world not club Europe. Thanks!
Band 4 Rest of the Day from Istanbul this afternoon / evening.
Chocolate pudding that I couldn't manage.
I have pictures if you'd like them!
Thanks Will. Feel free to send in the pics. I will be doing a full guide to CE catering so the more photos the better.
