I am not going to say that I do not care for AA domestic first class snacks. No, I am not saying that I am looking forward to the snack basket in first class. But it is nice to have something to nibble on and the basket provides a choice compared with simply given a small package of pretzels. My wish is that if there is also something a little more substantial in the snack basket in addition to current items for a variety of choices.

I do remember that, and I also remember a lot of negative comments posted here on FT. I do think AA could have done better on sandwich choice. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the complaint is that at that time snack baskets replaced some snack service on the tray in domestic first class. I think back at that time snacks in domestic first class could be a tray service with salad on full size plate. I remember one of the snack items served in the domestic first class at that time was salmon salad on full size plate which I remember I enjoyed and if that was the choice for a snack service I always chose salmon salad.
