BA Club class - meal options/gluten free

[Welshbeef]

One of our party is gluten intolerant and we have booked BA club class - BA do have the option to select a gluten free meal but having done this in economy class on BA and others the alternate is a joke to the point what was available as a normal meal they could have picked out the safe to eat non gluten bits.

As per the post what is the meal option for gluten free at Club class - if its a rubbish substitute we will opt for normal meal and not touch gluten items.

Its a good point. You really haven't asked anything.

Was your hope that Willie Walsh would read this and jump into action?

For useful advice - buy something from the airport and bring it on the flight?

Your OP doesn't ask that question.

I have no idea anyway.

If it's a short haul flight it will all be pretty rubbish.

Post on the flyer talk forum in the BA section as I'm sure somebody there will know.

You can't just eat the gluten free things from a normal meal, it will suffer from cross contamination

To sum up - the OP is asking

How good are the gluten free meals in BA CLUB CLASS?

Normal BA club Europe meals are very good.

Really?

That's not my experience, although I haven't flown with them this year.

The breakfasts are identical to club world from memory.

If it's the same as club world now won't you get a choice?
We have never had to book in advance for veggie options, but I suppose gluten free could be different.

Its different for allergies - if you tell them they will ensure that they have a meal specifically for you unlike a situation whereby you'd like non meat (you can select vegiterian too in advance).

Why don't you phone them and ask nicely? If the flight is soon they might know the menu choices.

Lol we book very early and use air miles so actually costs us barely the cost of one economy seat for a family of 4 in Club.

Worst I've no idea how to leverage frequent flyer and early purchase schemes ever response.

Exactly, use the miles and book early. In other words play the system, I've just booked 2 return flights in business to Manila for less than £1300 for September by which time I'll have enough miles accrued to upgrade to first

Well I've elected to put those who need it on the dietary option there and back.
