Good lord - it is bad enough there double cater for PHL, but FISH?

Picked up a grinder at reading terminal market and Had that instead.

When did AS start FEBO service? not that I really care, but they need to be consistent.
AS doesn't double cater food on any of the transcon or Hawaii flights. Any meals served from PHL are catered there.

There hasn't been a change to FEBO. you're right about consistency if this is the way the FA on your flight chose to take orders. They are supposed to go front to back.

What Will Alaska Be Serving In First Class On Your Flight? REPORTS (2013 edition)

AS flyer - thanks for the correction. In any case, it was vile. Fish belongs in the hold, not on the plate. I will stick to the hoagie.

ASFlyer -- As always, thank you for your insightful comments. This is something that has puzzled me since I worked for AA years ago. What is so hard about following the rules and doing the service correctly every time? Maybe I'm just a rules type of person, but it is easier for me if there are published guidelines on how to do a task.

There actually are printed guidelines. I wish people would just follow them. Unfortunately, not everyone does. I'll say this, there has been a lot more consistency over the last few years than ever in the past and it's getting better. At least from where I stand. From where you sit the perspective may be slightly different. Hopefully not.

If I decline a meal, I always ask for my chocolate and any extras they have. I don't think they've ever had a "stash" of them, but I'm sure there are some extras laying around.

You can always buy them online, straight from the source.

If one ever has a long layover at SEA, the Seattle Chocolates factory is close to the airport in the Southcenter area of Tukwila behind the Nordstrom Rack and next to the Goodwill. They have a wide selection of first-run chocolates and discounted "seconds" for something like $5 per pound. Note that contracts with national retailers require Seattle Chocolates to abstain from selling chocolates under the retailers' brand names, so some of the seconds are actually first-run Frangos and fancy chocolates normally sold at Target that were overruns or were returned to the manufacturer. There are also tons of free samples. Alternatively, one can go to any Macy's in the PNW and buy Frangos or wait until Costco sells them in Seattle Chocolates wrappers for the winter holiday season.

As for FEBO, on all of my AS and DL flights in F with meal service, meals have always been served from front to back.

+1

In fact it almost made up for the brutally awful "roast beef and cheddar" sandwich.

Must say, cinnamon chocolate mousse was tasty with a warmed Courvoisier .

Wowsers! I might have expected that kind of availability to Hawaii out of the bay area, but not from SEA/PDX. Nicely done!

I had the same question the first time I tried to post a photo (I am a newbie too). This was the response someone gave me and it worked perfectly - and I did use imageshack.com:

"You need to put the picture properly sized someplace online, if you don't have anyplace, you can use imageshack.com. You upload the picture there and it will resize it to the size you want, and it will give you a link.

Click on the mountain icon to insert a picture, and copy the URL into that."

Sorry to go OT.

Photobucket also works well. That's where I store these photos.
