Hey All
I have just booked a flight from MAD to BHX (BA1793) in Economy for September.
When I checked the BA website with the manage by booking tool, the details said "Drinks and Snacks availble for purchase" under the service details section.
I was wondering if on European routes, if BA are now charging Economy passengers for food and drink? Can anybody confirm this?

You will be flying on City Express. They charge for food, which I have heard is quite good, and drink. Have a good flight and check out the BA website for more info.

Hilarious how they - and others - think that by changing the image and rationalising here-and-there they'll become a true low-cost airline with properly low costs and thus profitable.

Quoting FURUREFA (Reply 1): You will be flying on City Express
Yes I know!!! Its in the title and on my BA reservation!
Quoting Mhodgson (Reply 2): It's actually BA Connect - Citiexpress
Disagree there as I state above, on BA and the site where I booked the trip it states quite clearly that it is BA Citiexpres
Quoting LS737 (Reply 4): No you won't! BA CitiExpress (all one word with no 'y') is no more.
See above
Thanks to all for the comments and feedback. I am really suprised to be honest that BA are charging for food now on these flights. I took that very same flight last year and was given complimentary drinks and snacks the whole flight.... how times change!!

Actually, they are correct, Citiexpress was discontinued earlier this year and it is now BA Connect, which operates a different business model.
