One told me once the upgrade happens your pre-ordered food is canceled. Another told me when you pre-order it follows you and that's your only choice. And yet another told me if can follow you but you can also select something else. I figure my best bet is to just not pre-order and I'll get to choose but that's assuming they pack enough meals for all the FC seats. Would be nice if they had a consistent policy.
Interesting to not preorder a meal in premium seating. I will consider adjusting my process to not order. The cheese plate has been my reflexive order for 7 years. It’s not something I die for but rather tolerate. Food at airport quick picks now work better as well.
