Well it's way OT, but here's the thing. I'm not flogging AF. They're okay and mainly chosen because their scheduling and routes work for me. I like the food better than BA. Service is fine. Crew service was never the issue on BA. It was provisioning and tired hard product.
But I avoid AF A380 service. YMMV, but I also find them a bit tired and I don't get the impression AF is that interested in major refurbishment (this is strictly a supposition based on my experience). The 777 is an excellent flight.
BA would work for me as well, in terms of schedule and route. And in fact I have a pile of Avios that will expire soon. I've held them instead of using them elsewhere because I am hoping for service recovery and the reason I check the BA Forum is to see if it's happening. And frankly, I'm optimistic. The brand itself was starting to seriously erode and I think they've recognized that. So if they get some new hard product, I'll give them a retry.
And now back to OJ.
Did I read the OP correctly? Was "we're in the US" actually given as the reason for not serving oj?
