Depends on port. From YYZ it is plastic peel-off package. Most ports follow HK package rules with the aluminium.

And approximately 20 hours later having now reached Hong Kong, the answer is, yes! There was a "Stir Fry Lobster with Ginger and Spring Onion" as one of the Chinese mains in today's F menu.

I tried it, having seen how good it looked in the video. And it was really quite tough and rubbery, and somewhat tasteless. It may have been the reheating that caused this, so lobster lovers, YMMV...

P.S. The pear almond crumble with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce was just divine though!

I've had plastic covers on my Y long haul Y LAX-HKG round trip for the past few times now. Got to admit that even for Y class product, yea the packaging might not look as good as first class, it still looks tasty as ever! Better than eating cup noodles for dinner on China Eastern Air -.-
