KFC chicken instead of inflight meals

Sometimes the most exciting part and something many passengers look forward to on board long-haul flights are the inflight meals. Whether you choose the chicken or the beef, a meal is almost certainly guaranteed.

Unfortunately for passengers on a recent British Airways flight to Providenciales, Turks & Caicos to Nassau, Bahamas, to London, England, they were left a little wanting, reports IOL.

According to passengers on the flight, there had apparently been catering issues on the flight as the plane’s carts had not been properly chilled and all the food had to be discarded, resulting in there being no catering during the long-haul flight.

On passenger, Andrew Bailey, took to Twitter and revealed how they had been served a single piece of chicken from KFC in Nassau, Bahamas.

“@British_Airways just landed @HeathrowAirport after a 12.5 hour flight BA252 from Turks and Caicos with no catering! BA had to serve @kfc at Nassau giving some lucky passengers 1 piece of chicken. The container with the plane catering wasn’t chilled so all thrown away!!” Bailey tweeted.

Another passenger @KUWSoghmanian also tweeted, saying: “We were on this same flight. Laughable. If anyone has film/photos of @British_Airways tonging out one piece of kfc chicken (drumstick! Not even breast) – please share. People with medical conditions left without any food or proper refreshments.”
