All airlines have reacted to the pandemic in a very similar way, in terms of in-flight services many have decided to make cuts to minimize possible contamination.
However, there were companies that in fact hardly ever reduced service, such as Lufthansa, which kept some lounges open and continued to offer food and drinks on board As before the pandemic.
Emirates also reactivated showers in late summer aboard the iconic Airbus A380 and common areas such as bars for business and first classes.
British Airways' choice early on was to close all lounges and replace the traditional service with china and crystal glasses with pre-packaged gourmet boxes.
Today the lounges at Heathrow are almost all open and service is back to a very high standard, while on board the only change was to include a "hot" plate in the box for long-haul flights.
Now the announcement has come: starting January 20, the traditional mise en place and menus on board all flights will be restored. Passengers in club world, business class, and first class will once again find the menu where they can choose what to eat and the traditional afternoon tea. Everything in the classic china and specially designed cutlery For the British company.
The full menu for economy and economy plus class passengers also returns, on all flights both long-haul and short-haul.
