I think the breakfast pre-order card for TATL flights is a nice change, however I wish there were more warm/hot entree choices other than the quiche.
Or maybe there are other choices, but I just had bad luck with routes/dates?
I kind of wish there would be an egg dish option, like omelettes or scrambled eggs.

Maybe it's the camera, maybe it's when the cake was served, but .......... the cake looks better on rouge

I found the recent dessert offerings for LHR-YYC to be a bit disappointing.
Choices were:
Chocolate and vanilla ice cream (3 small scoops - no toppings or anything else); or
Sliced fresh Fruit
At least the domestic PLH flights have cookie AND ice cream, and even UA's sundae bar would have been an upgrade. Hope this was just a one-off and not a regular rotation. The cake options in the other pics look much better than a couple scoops of basic grocery store quality ice cream.

If you're talking about the finger sandwiches on flights departing LHR - they did along with the scones a while back and the clotted cream hit the fan. They were reinstated based on Customer feedback.

Also,what kind of feedback can I give to make the FAs life better?
What do customers do that makes you want to go "beyond" for them?

Did not eat the appetizer.
The potato au gratin was excellent as were the perfect vegetables.
I chose the berries. Excellent. The pax across the aisle chose the "sticky toffee apple cranberry cake with whipped cream" and said it was great.
AC4
Thought I'd try the champagne this time. Very nice.
Salad and baguette were excellent (and the usual great New Zealand butter)
Did not eat the appetizer.
Main course: underwhelming. No idea about the other choices.
Thankfully !!!!!! The dessert MORE than made up for the main course.
Outstanding chocolate fondant
The croissant and orange muffin were fantastic.
Cheese omelette was very nice. Did not eat the other items on plate.

Whoa wait. So it's not champagne? Champagne has a very specific definition. It should come from the Champagne region of France. So it's just fizzy wine on AC?
