Route: HNL-PDX
Flight Number: AS 834
Departure time: 12:15 PM delayed to 1:07
Menu: Yes
Meal Description: (I preordered so not much chitchat)
PDB: No - just water. The late plane and turn around made service a little abbreviated
Choice between seared cod with brown rice, carrots, and gai lan (Chinese broccoli) or penne pasta with arugula salad. Pre-ordered the cod, thinking it was the curry flavored cod from last month. Instead it was fish and rice with a nice ginger soy sauce. Pretty good all around dish. The desert was macadamia nut ice cream from a Hawaiian company.

Menu: No
Meal Description: Protein Plate or Korean Chicken Sandwich

Picked the sandwich. Tasted a lot better than it looked. Think the Bulgogi dish from last summer. Was served with chips, but no dessert. Mints were served as were nuts. A snack basket was offered mid-flight.

Route: SFO - IAD
Flight Number: AS 1102
Departure time: 3:45pm
Menu: No
Meal Description: Herbed chicken or cheese ravioli
PDB: Only water bottles
I went with the chicken. Sorry the picture quality isn’t great; too much red mood lighting on the pmVA plane. Soup was a butternut squash. The star of this meal was the mashed potatoes and gravy, which were delicious. The chicken was also served with asparagus and artichoke hearts. Ice cream and the snack basket were both offered later in the flight, but I passed on both, so not sure what the ice cream flavor was

The snack basket was brought around about 30 minutes after our snack on PHX-SEA AS633 5:25 pm flight on March 23rd. Awesome non-stop service by Martin on the 2.5 hour flight. Martin welcomed each passenger by name when taking orders for the snacks and drinks and thanked Elites for their Loyalty. I was in 2F and 1F was a MM. Throughout the flight he always spoke to everyone on a first name basis.
The snack choices were the protien plate or the Turkey & Provolone warm sandwich with a bag of chips. Seattle chocolate served on the tray. Snack Basket followed and just before landing a basket of mints were brought out with a thank you for flying with AS today.
Kudos sent to Alaska.

One pass of snack basket. 2 offers for drinks. No PDB.
FA's spent most of flight in forward galley chatting very loudly during most of flight.
Expected much more for a 3 hour flight.

About the same service on my recent LAX-SFO and SFO-LAX flights. Shame they couldn't cater/offer something more for a much longer flight. Even felt some ice cream or a cookie could've been served on the SFO/LAX flights.

I agree. Really thought we would get a warm cookie , at the very least. Hoping for 1/2 sandwich but, no go. In light of AS promotions highlighting the "new and updated" First Class offerings, last night was a big disappointment. Would have been happy with "old" service standard.
