I always fly CVG-BOS and have only ever got snacks in first as it is under 900 miles.
This morning on the flight we all received the regional snack boxes. A welcome surprise for sure, but has anyone else ever had this happen? It doesn't look like AA changed any of the catering rules. I asked the FA if he knew what was up and he said "Not sure, I was expecting to serve the snack basket but this is what was catered. I wouldn't get used to it" (with a wink).
