I fly on AA (now), getting upgraded to business class on most of my jfk-Europe flts.
Several years ago I flew Air France (always in economy) from jfk-Paris.
AF's meals in economy were better than AA's in bc (I've wondered what AF bc is like.
)
One interesting contrast: On an AF flight the FA offered as a suggestion (at the end of dinner) "would you like some Cognac"...on all the bc flts. on AA, a FA NEVER suggested Cognac at the end.
