But it feels annoying to give up a decent seat on a transcon already and have the snackbox. That's assuming the preorders actually come through as well, given even in F I had them not load my preorder on a handful of flights last year.

I'm already going to be paying for my wife's meals when we don't clear upgrades (she as a 1MM companion used to get 1K status; I'm neutral on the MM status changes already announced, I suppose, but it still is a devaluation to us). Now I'm going to be getting snack boxes a lot more often and no fresh items.




I don't know; as I said, my anecdotal experience was that as someone who sits as close to the front of Y as possible when I'm in Y that they ran out of the burger and cheese plates (which seemed to be the most popular) pretty frequently.
