1/16 PHX-SEA 645a departure: the choice is back on this flight. Granola or some sort of egg thing. A quiche or something. I was asleep for the first 90 minutes of the flight so I missed the description. I did try the granola and there must have been something wrong with the batch because I found a hunk of sugar that was the size of a silver dollar. Not sure what happened or if someone at the granola factory was asleep during the manufacturing process. Needless to say I just ate the fruit (which probably contained as much sugar as the granola).
1/16 SEA-YYC 10a departure: Snack basket on the QX E175. This flight used to get that spinach dip snack thing. Not sure if it was a mis cater or if they’ve changed the service standards.
Excellent FAs on both flights. The QX guy working first was exceptional and thanked everyone personally for flying with them.

AS469, LAX-SEA (1610 departure)
see Seat 2A’s post (# 18) above ... I had already decided to pass on dinner after SDCing to this earlier flight; soup and salad in the Alaska Lounge made a more than adequate substitute
as much as I like Biscoff cookies, they absolutely **DO NOT GO** with cocktails

I was going to say dolphin tears and underripe papaya. I would hope it would more like a protein plate. Do they cater the fruit and cheese in ex-Hawaii? I'm flying HNL-SEA next week, so I'll update this thread.

SEA-IAH on Monday we had grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches, along with a cabbage salad. It was pretty tasty.
