I'm not sure if it counts as a gift, but a recent Rouge flight the SD served up an entire J meal on my PR07 subsidized order.
Which begs the question of why they don't normally do that (at any price). Do they recover and reuse the salad and brownie?

Or perhaps you can even put them on bare feet/toes in the cabin.
I'll take a dozen.

I believe that on most flights, the main dishes are over-catered so that everyone up front can hopefully have their first choice. So what they're selling in the back is largely the meals that were not chosen by J pax.

Getting OT, but that does make sense. At least, to the next level of sense. I'd be fine if the "meal plate" in Y was always $5 more and came as the whole tray.

I just received this from the SD. Beautiful thank you note and pin.
It is I who should write the thank you note, as this SD and the service were just fantastic on the flight.

Since I fly mostly long haul, my standard travelling garb includes the usual assortment of comfortable clothes and a navy-ish Bluffworks jacket/blazer with my AC roundel pin on the lapel. Once we get past the usual "Oh, do you work for the company?" banter, I surrender my jacket per usual and they nicely hang it in the closet.
But on at least three of my latest trips, on descent one of the FA s is either scurrying around the cabins with my jacket or I don't get my jacket until we've parked and are about to disembark. It turns out that the combination of my jacket and pin looks an awful like one of the AC uniforms when it's hanging in the closet, so they assume it's for one of the crew.
I get my jacket in the end but am beginning to have second thoughts about having a pin on that particular jacket. So, beware.

I've been doing that for a little while and have run into an interesting issue.

One of my suits has a Ben Smith face pattern on a red background. I look quite dapper in it; at least that's what my grandma says.
