5/16 SEA-LAX
Listed as lunch.
Warm nuts, followed by the choice of protein plate or salad. Out of protein plates after taking the orders for row two. Ended up with the salad. It was pretty tasty, but not substantial enough for more than a snack. Probably should have been served with bread and some kind of dessert.
However I'm off to the Qantas first lounge and then LAX-SYD in F so I'll have plenty of food

Date of Flight: 5/19/18
PDB: Bottled Water and coffee. Someone asked for a hard drink and was denied (it was not me)
Flight Number and Route flown: AS101 SEA to ANC
Time of Departure: 6:59am
Length of flight: 2h55m
Class of service: First
Meal served: Breakfast
Meal Description: Choice of eggs and potatoes and protein plate. I felt like being in the back so I got the protein plate by default. Just enough to tide me over. First F flight during breakfast hours and not really a breakfast person. That's why I usually skip the quiche on the late flights.

Nice pic. Does anyone know why the highway does that odd detour?

AS106 5/27/18
ANC-SEA
9:54 PM - 3ish hours
Class - First
PDB - Bottled water
Snack - 3 mini pita discs, hummus? and two slivers of cucumber. Piece of chocolate
Notes - Say wut! I got more on JNU-ANC which was just over an hour. But I digress. The Chardonnay was good at least :P

Date of Flight: 5/28/18
PDB: Bottled Water
Flight Number and Route flown: AS 3323 (OO Operated)
Time of Departure: 11:20am
Length of flight: 3h50m
Class of service: First
Meal served: Lunch
Meal Description: Warm nuts to start. Then choice of green salad with chicken or warm vegetarian soba noodle salad. Went for the green salad. It was very good and included Persian cucumbers, fennel, cherry tomatoes, orange and grapefruit supremes, cashews and middle eastern spiced chicken. The dressing was a green herb vinaigrette. I thought it was super good although not super filling. No bread served. Dessert was a 1.5" cinnamon cheesecake served with caramel sauce. FA brought me a second cheesecake on request because she "had a ton of them". She also insisted on bringing me a Baileys with my Crater Lake Vodka and Coffee because it's "way better with both". Great service by the Portland based crew.

Flight Number and Route flown: AS 3379 (OO Operated)
Time of Departure: 2:50pm
Length of flight: 4h15m
Class of service: First
Meal served: Dinner
Meal Description: Same options as above although the salad did not have cashews and I received warm bread this time. I got the salad again because it was very good the first time and I was not disappointed. Cheesecake was served in a small ramekin which made it hard to eat. Service was fine given the large amount of turbulence between Dallas and Salt Lake City.

For what its worth, Im in Delta First Class flying Seattle to Juneau and all we got served is the snack basket. Something to think about when we complain about the humus plate (which is what AS offers..)

BOS-LAX 3/31 6PM
Served a mole braised beef which was pretty good. The carrot salad served before the main was inedible, and the whole F cabin was joking about it. I've had them before and they were pretty good, not sure what catering did to them, but it seemed like they found a bag that was left in a dehydrator for a couple of months and then grilled them up to be served.
LAX-SEA 3/31 11:40PM
Hummus plate and choice of almonds or fig bar.

Sounds like a change was made June 1.
Passengers flying in MCS ( or Premium Class)reporting that they are no longer able to select snacks during flight (for free). On VX it was usually rows 3 and 10.
Previously, on Airbus (VX) metal in F, we had the option to choose something from the snack tray or on some flights (SEA/LAX). snack tray passed around after meal service.
Hoping this does not mean that we can will no longer ask for a box of cookies after the snack/meal service. I guess we will find out next week when we fly again.

6/3/18 AS92 ANC-SEA 8:05 pm Departure.
The Hummus Plate. I passed and Bought the Fruit & Cheese from the back. Presented in it's paper and plastic packaging. I felt like the 3 + hour flight Should have a better offering. In a place where it stays light so late, 8 pm is not necessarily Past dinner time. Pretty friendly service overall.

Is there any news on them changing the menu offerings, I want to say it was suppose to be a quarterly rotation, but maybe I am making that up?

Shellshocked at the comment and tone. I thanked her and ate cookies with some red wine.

Flew first class delta from Phoenix to Seattle and got no food or snack. So yeah, domestic Delta first can be pretty underwhelming,

AS 1784 SEA-LAX June 2018
AS 1784 Seattle to LAX
June 2018
11:45am departure
Not impressed and despite mixed nuts were stated on printed menu, they were never served.
These Virgin America F/As were pretty good. Beverages were refilled throughout the 2 hours flight.
