The sandwhich is not bad, it's just comically small.
On 15, some days you get a cheeseburger,others days its a piece of cardboard with cheese on it (they call that pizza?) and some days its the filthy cheese misteak sandwich. There is no choice, except eat or don't eat.All these fine gourmet meals come with potato chips, macaroni and a brownie. During the mid-service, you are supposed to get a slice of cheese and crackers, but most crews do the turkey sandwich with candy at that time and about one hour out you get to gorge on the ubiquitous chez a la cracker. I kid you not. Many pax bring on their own food for this flight,and with the food court close by, jump on the chance asap.
14 shows as a dinner flt on the ticket, but guess what? Its the good old cheese and cracker routine again! You get an Egg McMuffin thingy about 1 hr out or EWR. Stock up for this flight too.
And if your sitting near the overwing exits, bring an extra layer of clothes!They finally put out a bulletin about the frigid conditions of these seats,about 6 years after we got these-400's and the -200's too. Some muckety muck from corporate must have gotten frostbite for them to finally acknowledge this, because we have been writing up this situation from day one. Now they are stocking a few extra blankets for those poor SOB's who are in 29 or 31 .
