On the flight (in row 3/4) I'm snoozing, get tapped on the arm asking if I'm joining for dinner and what meal I would like. I choose lasagna (ginger chicken other choice and I did not like it on a prior occasion), then person next to me (unrelated) also chooses lasagna.

I'm snoozing again but I guess a few minutes later, another tap on the arm to tell me I cannot have my meal choice, someone in row 4 doesn't like spicy and cannot have the chicken. She (the SD) says that I should have been asked last.. sorry.

When she returns for drinks I ask why I could not have my meal choice.. she says it's 'what the ipad says' and she has to go by that. I ask if it's status related and she's not sure but comes back with the ipad and says it's because I eupgraded.

Is this correct? Anyone ever have something similar happen? Should I write in?

YVR-MEX looks like a 7M8, nad if that's the case, you were in possibly the last row, without any entitlement to meal priority.

If that's the case, it sounds correct.
