Aircraft are generally catered to the figures booked for that flight, or perhaps an extra meal in CE and ET just in case of last minute bookings. At LGW there's provision to call on Alpha catering to bring a top up meal for somebody who books late, I would imagine the same thing exists at LHR too. As many flights often carry catering for the return from the UK, then unfortunately it's possible there wasn't time to get a meal...

I take it he is just taking the opportunity to talk to his mate whilst waiting. If that's...

Natural light is so much better for writing trip reports!

Replace it with something serving good food, at a good price with good service. The couple of times we ate there, we quite liked it When travelling CW, we have breakfast at PF, prior to going up to the galleries, as the buffet isn't up to much other than a bit of a snack. Certainly no substitute for breakfast.

Because short haul European flights returning to London have the meals for the return flight loaded at LHR on the outbound flight, it is not at all surprising and indeed common. In the "good old days" they used to carry a spare meal or two, but in these straightened times of waste not want not, I understand that that practice has ceased. If your husband booked his flight back to the UK, say, about 2 hours before the flight...

I had to laugh at Ryanair's latest "wheeze" on my flights this week - they now sell smokeless cigarettes that you can "puff away" to your heart's content in the cabin. Only 6 Euros...
