Getting to Albany from Minneapolis is optimized for the Albany flyer, not the Minneapolis flyer, so I had to make the long slog via either DTW or ATL. Because I wanted to go mainline and wanted some extra MQMs for the year, I flew via ATL. I was pleasantly surprised to get the upgrade on all four legs of the trip, though only the first flight had a meal because of time and distance of the other flights. The service leader on this flight was a flight attendant I'd had before and think is great. She provides great service and really seems to want to make the flight in F an enjoyable experience.
Entree: Chicken sausage breakfast burrito
Side: Mixed berries with pineapple
"Dessert:" Blueberry Chobani
Drink: Mimosa
The meal:
The verdict: Food was good, though there was something a little off about the burrito texture. I can't quite put my finger on it, though. The fruit was fresh and flavorful and the drinks were plentiful. We also got a look at the snack basket, which I think was leftover from C+, so that was nice. Service from two FAs was outstanding and the pre-ordering seemed to work out. My upgrade came too late to pre-order, but I still seemed to get what I wanted.
