British Airways Club Europe Catering

Last week, I flew British Airways short-haul in Club Europe. And normally, you know what you're going to get on a short flight between the UK and Germany – something that is comical and small.

At Economy Class and Beyond, we're slightly obsessed about overhead bins.
