Booked this ticket under 90 minutes before departure due to a cancelled Delta flight (by far the worst award redemption I've done to date), took me almost 45 minutes, 2 buses, and a maze-like quest to get from Terminal 2E M gates all the way to Terminal 1 without leaving the secure area.
Anyways... Started off on the right foot with the FA thanking me for my status and offering me a leftover sparkling wine from Polaris. Then after takeoff they did a drink and packed almonds run, followed by the main dish, for which I got the chicken. It was pretty good, the highlight though, those chocolate bites which I snacked on throughout the flight
As for the arrival dish, I got a pasta, and it was... eh... I'd say it makes Olive Garden pasta seem like a home cooked Italian meal.

What was the redemption? I am curious now
