KSML on US from PHL-TLV

Anybody have any experience with kosher on US in Envoy (biz class) out of PHL on the way to TLV?

I can ask my brother if you want, he goes back and forth between PHL and TLV twice a month, if there's anyone who'd know it's him!

My mother in-law does it quite often and says the food is quite decent (by US KSML standards) but she can't remember the supplier.

I've taken it from TLV-PHL and the new Envoy Suites are fantastic

Its quite an impressive "Suite" for business class. Possibly the best I've experienced outside of SQ

So if you guys were flying from DC to TLV, would you go:
DCA-PHL-TLV on US
or
IAD-LHR-TLV on BA
????

It's basically the same as UA's F. I consider that not to be a true F product, but Envoy, billed as C, is one of the best, if not the best.

My routing there would be BA F>Envoy>CW>WT +>WT>US Y. But if you expanded your options, there are other great options. I'd take CO's BF KSML over any other carrier except LY.
BTW, I'd sooner take Acela Express sleeper cabin over flying DCA-PHL, but that's just me. It's a bit less convenient though.

I would grab US in Envoy over COs BF anytime any day

also Acela would cost additional, while either the US or UA flight would be included in the tkt, be it a paid or miles tkt

however due to USs 1-2-1 and the 2 being a set up, 2 people traveling together might prefer COs set up unless tey dont want to deal with each other during the flight

US has a better hard product than CO, no question. I prefer the food and service though on CO to US's.
A pair should have no problem with US's center seats, as they face each other. It's not as ideal as BF, but it's not terrible at all. Not like UA F on the 763 (or even the new F on 744/772)

sorry to differ, but US isnt really good for 2 people traveling togther even in the middle section. The only way they can see each other is if both lean forward and sit in an awkward position.

The seats arent paralel to 1 another but is as I said above in an position, so both people have to lean very much forward to see each other. While with COs BF you simply glance to your side

I've been wishing to try US's Envoy seat for so long now.

How would you compare it to AC's J class?
