On the outbound, I was sitting next to a runner and the folks in front of us ID'd themselves after hearing our conversation before take off.
On the inbound, it was pretty obvious who else had been on the ride out...lots of sharing tips and tricks before leaving PHL...actually, it turns out there are seven of us up here.

It looks like outbound is breakfast with dinner on the return. What options were available?
This is vital information for others who may be following in your footsteps - contrails - this month.

Here's the big ticket question, Endventure, Nurse Traveler or anyone else who was on the SEA-PHL-SEA flights -- what did they serve for the meals in First?

Breakfast
First course
*Mexican Fruit: slices of watermelon, pineapple, cucumbers mango sprinkled with spicy stuff plus a pastry. (i enjoyed the fruit)
Second Course--Choice of:
* Ham-leek quiche and grilled tomato -or-
*Scrambled, Eggs, apple-chicken sausage and pancakes with apple-walnut compote. (I chose this because I don't eat bacon).
Dinner:
Appetizer
*Beecher's Flagship Cheese and shrimp Caesar (fine for me); Warm dinner roll (not warm)
Main-choice of:
*Trident Wild Alaskan Cod Puttanesca; Lemon Orzo; Steamed Broccolini (I chose this and liked it)
*Cucina Fresca Three Cheese Ravioli w/Smoked Mozzarella & Cherry Tomato Sauce; Grilled Zucchini
Blackberry cobbler (looked and smelled good although I didn't have one)
On both trips I had the same meals largely because of my dietary choices but I could have easily chosen the other options since they looked decent. You can see pictures of these on the FC Foodie thread.
I am seeing a trend in the longer haul east-west menus since someone also reported these same choices from SEA-DTW-SEA
Good luck!!

This was the menu for both my MRs this past week...TPA and PHL

And if I don't make it at all then there still will be lots of other opportunities for flights this year ... so I'll just go shopping instead.

Hmm. I'm flying to BWI. Why did I think I was flying to PHL?

My SEA trip was purchased during the Alaska resident PFD sale when I thought I wanted to go Outside for a shopping trip. When PHL came available as a super-discount fare I added the RT. We shall see ...
