Undercooked Beef on AC547 returning from LAS
I wonder how many AC people have tried their own offerings before marketing it on their routes especially in J?
Despite all the ravings of AC's good meal service. I have a beef with AC for serving undercooked offerings. I sliced open their "cooked" beef and noticed it was not even pink on the inside -- red was still in the middle of the beef, and I just took one slice of it and decided that I would have no more of the beef piece on my plate.. ate the mashed potatoes and veggies instead and handed the tray back to the hostess. How can one call that a meal when it was undercooked?
Sanosuke!

Many airlines don't even offer anything to eat during that meal window. We used to have only drink service during that meal window and we enhanced it by adding the pastries. This is only on flights that are less than 2 hours and the reasonable assumption is that by 9am, you would have gotten a chance to eat breakfast either at home/hotel or in the lounge and the pastries onboard is simply a snack during the short flight. On many routes, this represents 1 or max 2 flights.

AC117 YYZ-YYC this am.
OJ/Water offered pre take off.
No menu, only one of the FAs asking if I wanted "the waffles or the omlet" (not sure if there were none on board, or if she forgot - she seemed pretty disorganized)
Omlet.... it is what it is
Ice cream and cookies offered an hour before touch down.
Fairly attentive refills.

AC618 today:
No menus handed out. Asked if I'd like "chicken, pasta or salmon". When hot towels were brought around mine was literally dripping wet. I've never seen this before. Scalding hot, yes, but not dripping wet.

Same thing happened to me on AC421 on Jul 22. The towel dripped all over my laptop and my pants. The fellow beside me wrung his out, purposely spilling a shocking amount of water all over the floor. When I asked the FA for some napkins to mop up myself, he didn't apologize (perhaps he didn't notice).

yyz - atl -- anyone taken?
I've just booked an insanely priced ticket in j to atl. It's Jazz, so no it doesn't fall under the ac mainline rules. The website calls out food for purchase. Has anyone taken either ac8623 or ac8624 and can comment on any service? It's a short flight , 2hr10min, so it's no biggy, but when I seen the price, i was just amazed that is states BOB.
And has anyone had any problems accessing the CO President's Club lounge in terminal D with a j ticket?
thanks

any insight as to children's meals in J? for both morning and afternoon flights? typically we do not order one for our 3 year old as they will generally eat anything, but perhaps we might consider this option. just do not want something that lacks reasonable nutrional value....
