AS 204
SEA/SJD
Feb 5
Lunch
No PDB, Water given later with drink orders. Flight delayed at gate but, door closed. Should have been time for at least water bottles.
No hot towels. Small ramekin of nuts with drink. No menu. Offerings simply described as “Rosemary chicken or “vegetable rice bowl”. No offer of Fruit and cheese plate.
We both requested the chicken. Surprised when it arrived , actually Chicken clementine with Saffron Rice. Glazed onions and Swiss chard were the only good things on the plate. Salad and usual wheat roll. Warm cookie served later.
Again, no second towel service. FA made no attempt to stop Y passengers from coming forward. Carts were not in isle. Had to go to gallley to get refills for water and coffee. She seemed occupied with doing a Mexico turnaround. She was upset to find out she could not get off the plane. Not terrible but, not good either. Just meh.. Dissapointing when flying paid F.

fruit and cheese plate is only available as a pre-ordered option, it's not a third option on board.
There is no second towel service. Just one, prior to the first beverage service... or at least, that's the way it's supposed to be. Sorry you didn't get that.
No excuse for poor service.

They were - which makes it awkward when someone actually does what they're supposed to and looks like the bad guy because someone else wanted to look like the good guy. If you don't preorder, or can't, the fruit and cheese plate is for purchase in F.

Menu: No - the FC attendant read from a menu, but didn't really know the ingredients
We preordered. The pre-order options read as follows:
Montamore Tomato Omelet
Omelet made with cage-free eggs and filled with roasted tomatoes and tangy Montamore cheese. Served with a cranberry-cognac chicken sausage link and herb roasted tricolored potatoes
Sweet Potato Hash
Roasted sweet potatoes served with marinated Tuscan kale, sweet roasted peppers and a soft-cooked egg. Garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds and lemon-infused Greek yogurt.
To start: a cheesy bread roll and some cold poached pear slices.
I had the sweet potato hash - the egg was not soft-cooked

Was this served with the poached pears as well? I can’t quite tell from the picture. If so, how were they? I’ve been on a couple flights where they were amazing and on some others, they were almost inedible

They're in that dish in the rear left. Tasted fine, but really not much there to enjoy with four small pieces.

Route: SFO-MCO
Flight Number: AS90
Departure time: 07:30
Menu: Yes!
Breakfast
Water PDB after asking for it - that seemed to have prompted Dasani distibution. Pre-ordered Montamore Tomato Omelet. Almost exactly as @tom911 above, but with a cranberry ginger smoothie shot. 2 poached pears and 2 persimmons with a delicious dipping sauce. As an omelet connoisseur, meh, but the cheese was at least the saving taste. Potatoes under cooked IMO. That roll was pretty amazing, though - apple & cinnamon.

Route: MCO-SFO
Departure Time: 16:55
Menu: Yes!
Dinner: Water PDB distributed during boarding. Pre-ordered cod with yogurt sauce (similar to post #94 , but without cucumber). With as many good reviews here I was looking forward to this dish. But, it was a little disappointing to me at least. Cod was dry, but the sauce helped. Carrots ok. The rice was overdone and dry - didn't even eat that. I think that's the first Salt & Straw I've had (salted caramel) and it's amazing. Crew was very attentive on this flight!

Looking at booking a 7:15p BUR-SEA Horizon flight listed at dinner. Will it just be the fruit/cheese or protein plate? Are hot meals ever served on E-175s?
Thanks--not a frequent AS flyer.

super confused. AS (or Horizon) doesn't fly BUR-SFO. If you're talking about BUR-SJC, I don't see a 715p flight. In any case, on a flight of this length it would probably just a beverage service in First Class - no meal.

The other day I had dinner in F on AA from DFW-PDX and I actually recognized everything on the tray as something I would eat outside of the airplane...chicken with a flavorful mushroom gravy, twice baked potato....strawberry ice cream for dessert....no kale....no strange tasting rice.....no multi-colored potatoes...ah, heaven in row 2
