That is fantastic news! I've been anxiously waiting for this to go live on more routes.

When I try to pre-order for TPA-SEA it says that the menu isn't available even though I'm well within the pre-order period. Maybe the menu will load in time -- we'll see.

The FA on my last flight said the preorder fruit and cheese platter is not the same as the one sold in Coach. Has anyone tried it yet?

I have a flight from IAH to SEA next week and I will try it out!

IIRC its very similar, but slightly different.

It does come plated ;)

I had my second trip with preordering recently(both were Seattle to DC flights) and again the flight attendants did not have any idea that I had pre ordered. One said that she didn't know how to look that up. I noticed someone across the aisle asking for a fruit and cheese platter and being told that they don't have them up front but she could get one from the back.

Complain loud and clear to AS that this is not acceptable. All of the F/A's should have been trained by now. If that F/A didn't know how to find it, then he/she should have asked another F/A.

There are two differences that I've noticed. First is the obvious one where it is on a plate instead of in the tray. The second one is that it looks like 1 1/2 of the coach trays, if not 2 of them. It's a *lot* of fruit that comes on the plate in first.

I don't think so...we always SPLIT the cheese plate in Y, and we each get 2 slices of apple. And while that looks like a lot of grapes, sometimes you get a small bunch of red and a small bunch of green. I think it looks exactly the same (although that brand of crackers does not look familiar). And the Y one includes the chocolate, too.

Looks like pre-order option is available for Big Island to Mainland flights. There are 3 hot entrées and the Fruit & Cheese Plate showing up for my upcoming flight.

Nice. Do you mind sharing what they are? They weren't there for PDX-KOA earlier this week.

The options showing up in the app are: Braised Beef Short Rib, Dijon Roasted Chicken Breast, Stuffed Chicken Breast and Fruit & Cheese Plate.

(I originally truncated the information, because I didn't want to re-type - no cut and paste out of the app). The description in the app for the Beef - Braised beef short rib with Chianti rosemary demi and crispy sweet onions roasted garlic mashed potatoes, buttered asparagus. Dijon Chicken - Dijon mustard roasted chicken breast with roasted garlic red wine demi, sautéed haricot vert, rich brie risotto. Stuffed Chicken Breast - Stuffed chicken breast with ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes and basil with tomato caper sauce, angel hair pasta, sautéed zucchini and sweet onions.

So is this similar to what the app always shows? They don't say what kind of sauce, what vegetables, etc? Or was it truncated here for less typing purposes? (strange that there are 2 chicken dishes).

That is strange with two chicken options. I wish they had a pasta option. Looks good though!
