Pleasantly surprised by the "mezze" plate served on my flight from IAD-YYZ today. Stuffed vine leaves, caponata and hummus.

Had that mezze (had no idea what it was called until prior post) plate Friday on YVR-YEG and it was, easily, the best snack item I’ve had in AC J.

SFO-YEG Chicken dish for lunch
YEG-SFO Breakfast

Both were good for a North American flight (and a regional at that). Actually better than Polaris sadness. FA's were great.

The dish could do without the vanilla cream spread across the bottom of the French toast.

French toast, vanilla cream, fruit compote

Dinner on a red eye flight

AC126 yesterday. Scheduled departure at 21:55. Got a full dinner menu, but everything from appetizer to dessert plated in one serving.

Also got the international J kit. Not sure if this is the norm or just usual AC peculiarities.

I believe that is the norm for a redeye Signature Service flight.

I would love a smoked salmon, cream cheese, and bagel platter.
Spinach and Feta omlette? something a little different? I find the ketchup relish thing gross... They could do shakshuka .. that'd be tasty and work reasonably well in the casserole dishes.

Because feedback and refusals have indicated that the full meal deal is not desired on a 3:45-4:00 red eye flight. Quick meal/sleep. Amenity kits are the standard on red-eye eastbound flights, but believe they should be the PY version in J on domestic flights.

I'm with you but shakshuka would be far too exotic for mainstream North American tastes.

What is it?
How do you spell it?
It's too spicy.
The eggs are overcooked.

Flew AC124 YVR-YYZ last night, which was my first narrow body flight in J on that route in a few years (have had multiple flights on widebodies). I was kind of shocked how they have downgraded the narrowbody service - you'd think they'd want to offer a standard service level even if they don't give you lie flat seating. It felt more like PE than Premium Long Haul J (actually it was just like my "non-PLH" connecting J flight from PHX to YVR). No pre-flight beverage (I guess that is reserved for international), no amenity kit, no "tablecloth", choice of only two mains, meal served all together on one tray, no cheese course, no snack basket or passing around of snacks mid flight, no pillows, no blankets despite flight landing at 01:50.

The 20+ year old XM interior is badly in need of renovation. the backrest of my seat had zero padding in it.

Ugh.

Flew YYZ-LGA departing 1710. I was pleased to receive a cheese plate and (packaged) nuts. Mostly full bar selection was available and included Bottega and bottled wine (2 reds and 2 whites) and spirits and standard non-alcoholic drinks. The children's meal was nicely plated veggies and dip and chocolate chip cookies. This was much better than my return on Delta.

Flew YEG-YYZ and YYZ-YEG (both narrow body) this week, both flights had a snack basket mid flight.

Yeah. Feels basically like Premium Rouge.
