RDU-DEN on Saturday. Flew right over the remnants of Helene without spilling a drop. I was the last to board in F, so didn't see or get PDB offer and didn't get a pre-boarding 1K/GS count.
Preorder worked. Hot towels then Nuts and drinks first. Nuts were genuinely hot, and came with a warning. I had the salad with grilled chicken. Unlike other photos I've seen here, it was iceberg lettuce, which was the only disappointment. The veggies were crisp and tasty. The tomatoes were actually good, maybe the first time I've had a good tomato on an airplane. The chicken tasted good and wasn't dried out. The roll was typical but rolled in corn meal or something so it had a rough texture and corn taste on the outside. The blueberry cheesecake was delicious. The improvement trend continues.

Generally good crew. Lots of refills until about 1.5 hours from the end when they picked up the glass without asking. I was fine, but I like to be asked.

Half an hour from landing, the purser came through and gave me and two other F passengers a sealed envelope with a card. It was a hand-written, personalized note from the captain, thanking me for my business. No mention, so I don't know if it was my 1MM or 1K status. I do know that, corny as it is, that buys a significant level of loyalty from me.


Online Menu I ordered the "Mixed Greens" It wasn't, but it was tasty.



As delivered - other than the iceberg I enjoyed the salad.
