In 1980, whilst gallivanting about the country on Eastern’s Unlimited Mileage Fare, a mechanical cancellation between New Orleans and Mexico City got me Rule 240-ed over to a Delta and Air France connection via Houston. I upgraded my Air France segment to First Class for only about $30.00 and enjoyed a light dinner on the two hour flight down to Mexico City. The flight originated in Paris and the following menu represents food served on both the CDG-IAH and IAH-MEX portions of this trip. Bon Apetite!
