My trip to Nantes involved a flight to Paris (CDG) and a connection to Nantes (NTE).

I flew with the home carrier — Air France — and the crew on both flights was excellent, landings were spot on. Which made the in-flight food all the more disappointing. A glass of water, juice, or coffee I can accept, but a snack in the form of three biscuits or a bag of crisps? Come on.

For the return I went through Amsterdam (AMS). KLM this time, though the first leg was operated by AF. And the whole food and drink situation repeated itself. I couldn't let it go and looked it up on the Air France and KLM websites.

And I found this: Economy Class Europe

• As always, we offer a broad selection of hot and cold drinks, including fruit juice, soft drinks, wine, beer, coffee and tea on our flights. Depending on the length of the flight and departure time, we serve either a snack or a fresh Delicious sandwich.
• On flights of up to 120 minutes departing before 9 am, we serve a set of tasty sandwiches with different fillings. On flights departing after 9 am, you can choose between a sweet and a savoury snack.
• On flights between 120 and 170 minutes we serve a set of sandwiches. 9. On flights lasting longer than 170 minutes we offer a hot snack and sweet pastry.

Guess I'll have to start flying longer routes — or pack a sandwich at home and eat it in front of everyone else on board... assuming security lets me through with it.
