what are BA children's meals like?

[headfairy]

We're going to St Lucia next week, I've just ordered children's meals for DS and DD (4 and 2) but ds is such a fussy eater, I'm wondering whether to do a packed lunch for him too. Normally I don't advocate different meals for him, but enclosed on a plane for 8 hours is no place to start laying down the law on fussy eating :o

Oh God LaLady I completely misread your post... you've never not received a children's meal. Doh

I'm still making that picnic, not taking any risks. Ds's whingeometer goes off the scale when he's hungry.

The snacks in the middle may just be for club passengers but if you present a crying toddler/child to the stewardesses they always appear like magic my 11 year old just kept sneaking up the plane and stocking up the stewardesses thought it was hilarious!

I think BA kids meals are slightly better than some other airlines but I always take extra snacks for my fussy youngest. I take things like bags of fruit flakes/yogurt raisins/yo bear and little boxes of raisins and depending on time of flight, will sometimes take sandwiches too or in DC4's case, I used to take mini cocktail sausages/sausage rolls.

Very by the way

Not sure about BA, but on Virgin if you don't request a child's meal you get nothing, so don't necessarily rely on them being able to have an adult meal as an option. Found this out the hard way.
