The strike by British Airways cabin crew didn't affect our flight other than to change the food on offer (why? No idea). The website warned that some options might not be available but even so we were surprised when the crew dispensed only a single biscuit to each passenger.
It wasn't a bad biscuit, as biscuits go, and the fact that the normal pre-fabricated in-flight meals remained in their storage silo meant that the average quality of airline food served yesterday to innocent travellers crept up slightly, but it left us slightly peckish when we reached Lisbon.
The flight itself wasn't to bad either. It was only an hour late and was largely uneventful, the only point of interest being an unexpected lurch groundward as we approached the runway in Lisbon. Other than that is was reassuringly dull - exactly how flying should be.
