I flew a 772 (Seat 9A!) SFO-EWR about 10 days ago. Mid day departure. One of the fastest transcons I think I've ever been on. 4:20 takeoff to touchdown. Thank you jet stream.
PDB open bar, pre-order worked (I chose the haddock.), 1K recognition, towels, then warm nuts and drink, then meal, sundae after.
Haddock was a bit overdone but still good. Mystery red sauce did not go well with the fish. The puree looked like soylent green but tasted remotely like cauliflower. Odd extra piece of garlic toast in the main dish, but it was good. The burrata appetizer was a bit watery but tasted good. The salad was tasty. I continue to be amused by the 'lemon' dressing. I managed to capture the ingredients list to show that it's only got 'natural spicy lemon aroma' in it, the acid is grape vinegar. The roll was good and hot. The sundae was good. When I asked for chocolate sauce he said "do you mean the chocolate chunks?" and put the chips on. It was tasty and not too cold or warm.
I was about to rank it as the best domestic service flights in years when the FAs completely disappeared after clearing dessert. No one picked up my drink or offered to refill it for hours. At 1:30 left in the flight the FA came by and said "Anything more to eat?" No mention of the second meal or the choices or anything and I didn't see any passengers take him up on the offer. I was still full from lunch so I declined. They picked up my empty drink glass only when prepping the cabin for landing.
