Hi people.
I have always wanted to ask this but it kept on slipping my mind.
Back in 2004, my wife and I had the following open jaw itinerary with One World using FF points
Syd-LHR (BA)
LHR-CAI (BA)
CAI-LHR (BA)
LHR-Malpensa (BA)
Barcelona - Frankfurt (Iberian)
Frankfurt - HGK (Cathay Pacific)
HGK-SYD (QF)
We did this in economy and were very grateful of upgrades we got at check in on the London-Cairo-London legs into world traveller plus and a check in upgrade to Business class on QF home from HGK. What we thought was very rough was the Iberian sector. We were in the front row of economy and had an exit row which was great, but all food and beverages were chargeable on board. 2 euros for a 100mls of tap water was just cough. 25 euros for breakfast if you call it that was even worse. I did not realise when I made this booking that we were flying discount air to Frankfurt from Barcelona. I assumed wrongly that, as a One-world carrier there would be similar minimum catering standard. I am somewhat annoyed that no warning was provided for this sectors lack of catering prior to flying.
Do Oneworld airlines have to maintain a minimum catering standard?
Thanks
John
