Free drinks will be offered on Thomson long haul routes for economy passenger of the Dreamliner

Thirst class: economy passengers on Thomson Dreamliners will get complimentary drinks

Free drinks will be served to economy passengers on Thomson Airways long haul Dreamliner flights from this winter.
Plus the flying experience will improve further with upgraded in–flight entertainment featuring a wider choice of films, updated monthly.
The leisure carrier gets two more of the jetlag-busting Boeing 787s next summer, bringing the fleet to eight and it has added flights from Newcastle, Birmingham and Edinburgh to Manchester, Glasgow, Gatwick and East Midlands, so it now operates the aircraft from all seven of its long haul bases.
Airline boss John Murphy said: “The Dreamliner has certainly lived up to its promise to revolutionise long haul travel and is a major milestone in our journey of modernising the holiday experience.” .thomsonfly.com.
*Beefed up menus are being served by South African Airways with its new on-board catering partner DO & CO Event and Airline Catering Ltd.
The new meals in both business and economy cabins will be available on all flights from Heathrow to Johannesburg.
Posh passengers will get Loch Fyne smoked salmon, truffle tortellini, and parmesan and mango panna cotta, while down the back of the plane there’s Viennese paprika chicken, rigatoni with rosemary sauce, and carrot and banana cake with cheese and crackers.
Its new dishes will be supported by an award-winning South African wine list.
The airline will move from Heathrow Terminal 1 to the new Terminal 2 on October
