I was recently flying JFK-SFO on VX and had the mushroom fritatta. Overall was pretty good along with the potatoes and other veggies.
Overall though I'm very hesitant about the new menus moving forward.

SEA - BWI today, FA acknowledged my reservation of Miso Marinated Cod. The meal was tasty and a nice departure from some of the more stale offerings of late. So far so good.

I would like to know what their menu rotation schedule will be - it will be changed after the last lima bean is over cooked in November 2018.

The April edition of Alaska Beyond indicated meals would be updated quarterly.

UGH - this really makes me sad. I'm sorry for your poor experience. That sounds horrible all around. The blankets are supposed to be left in the seats by the cleaners but it's hit and miss - mostly hit, but occasional misses. The dessert... that sounds like a catering error. The poor service - that's just bad - no excuse. I'm really sorry you had that experience. I'm glad you let the company know, I hope you were detailed in why it was so awful.

All 737-800s and -900s have already been upgraded with the additional legroom in first, and the addition of premium class. Starting in late October the -700s and Airbus aircraft start going in for cabin upgrades. You'll see additional legroom in first (and additional rows of first on Airbus aircraft), the addition of two rows of premium on the -700s (I'm not sure how many rows on Airbus), the redesigned seats in first and main cabins, seatback power, and LED lighting replacing the fluorescent lighting.
