Some GP's will find a way to heat plates space permitting, but it cannot be done on a consistent basis and not on flights with full loads.
Thanks!
I understand and I know this challenge from conversations with the SDs.
Thing is, it was on a full J TPAC (the first 2 of the recent series) where my plate was warmish, but on the recent 2 TPACs, for e.g.., cabins were half-empty, so perhaps an attempt could have been made.
It is unfortunate to have a decent hot meal served on a cold plate. Even "room temp" would have been better.
Others here have also mentioned the silliness of putting a warm bread roll on an ice cold plate. I don't eat any of AC's bread products ex-Canada, but love the croissants etc from Asian departures, so I just remove the plate for the tray and ask for the warm item to be placed on a napkin on the tray. It's a simple solution and it works.
