it is weird to see everyone with the turkey dinner being plated in a different way each time it seems. otherwise, i was not afforded a prawn cocktail as there are four GGLs in the cabin (4/5) but she later came to say there is another one available. but i figured it out that she took the two catered and divided the 6 shrimp to be 2 x 3 plates. it was laughably small and when i asked she admitted this was what she did--i thought it was rather kind of her to make the effort and it was fine.
We went out of A10 last night as well (#179). It was the rationale for the menus not showing up. It looked like Toronto and Vancouver also went out of A10. One of the staffers remarked when I walked up that the gate area was in shambles.
That’s a good point about the turkey. The cabin crew indicated that it may make a reappearance ahead of New Years, but I am not seeing it on the menu for my flight to Atlanta on 30 December.
