Why Different No. of Choices in A380 Y for Different Destinations

[Chakvetadze08]

Does anybody know why you have in the A380 service to London in the economy class the choice between 3 different meals however in the A380 to Paris and Zurich only the choice between 2 different meals?
All of these 3 destinations are served by a A380 service and have the same capacity with 399 economy passengers per plane.
What's the reason?

Cost-savings and one less cog logistically to worry about

London is one of the profitable sectors, perhaps that's why giving economy pax more choice.

I heard the snacks in between meals on this sector is one of the best compared to the other stations.

One word, COMPETITION

That doesn't explain why the same logic wasn't applied to LHR.

(I think it's the entire kangaroo route that's a profit generator for SQ, and for which it faces home-advantaged carriers at both ends of the route.)

Logic applied by SQ... surely thou jesteth...

Aye, and you should've heard about the follow-up PVG magazine whinge

Seriously, how difficult can it be to load the right magazines onboard, without furnishing an accompanying half-baked response... *rolls eyes*

Every account was anecdotal and entirely true, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

And I hereby wag my little finger at jjpb3 for dragging this thread off-topic!

[jjpb3]

Aye, and you should've heard about the follow-up PVG magazine whinge

Mind you, every account was anecdotal and entirely true...

Oh, I think anecdotes tend to be true, in some form or another.

It's when they're being extrapolated to actual policy that a bit of circumspection might be called for.



And so, I acknowledge that I am deserving of the finger-wagging.

And also perhaps the LHR flights are slightly longer than both CDG & ZRH?
