Well done to the staff for the initiative but BA really is becoming a great comedy.

To Fly, To Serve KFC 😉

I am sure the KFC outlet will be flying high with their new takeaway customer….

A catering SNAFU is not entirely surprising given the way a lot of things work in that part of the world. Good on the crew – it was probably something available close by that could be obtained in quantity. Given the choice of that or nothing and how popular that product is with UK customers, I imagine it was not sniffed at too much. Air travel always has its surprises…

Having crewed BA flights in the Caribbean through BA LGW, this has never happened to me in six years of flying. The catering and ground staff are very good; I knew many of them in Antigua. As crew, we would go into the terminal at various destinations as the local food was very good and surprisingly cheap.

I wish I could say the same for the maintenance of the aircraft that BA let out of the hangar. More often than not, I would board an aircraft to see many dreaded yellow INOP stickers.

Well done to the crew for thinking. “outside of the box” but they should not have been put in this scenario in the first place.

In this instance, didn’t they think inside the box? 😉

I will give a lot of credit to local “quick thinking” staff, I must say they kind of save the situation from disaster.
Probably in a hurry, otherwise they would have loaded biscuits or health drinks like yoghurt for passengers with medical issues.

Question is what BA did after landing? A correct behaviour will be to apologise to all passengers individually at gate with flowers or chocolates. Not sure if that is done.

I recall a long ago, I was in a SQ flight from Singapore to LA (or could be SFO) and the flight was about 4-5 hours late. SQ placed staff at gate first to apologise and handover some chocolates and checked if any assistance required those who had connections. That was a great gesture although not necessary as a service recovery except for the connection assistance.

Flowers or chocolates? That’s a joke.
