At least there's a bar, and it now has rum The cans of wine we "suffered" from for quite some time were a lot better than the DL Shattow du Plastique.

I for one am looking forward to the Glenfarclas as this is what they serve onboard UA in addition to Buffalo Trace. Now only if we can get the Hazelnut Espresso back!

I'm suprised they're going to make another try with bibimbap. Hopefully they include a description of it for the poor FA in F who has to explain the dish to people. The only FA I saw who could describe it was Korean

Shocking for a "West Coast Most" crew.

I enjoyed a bibimbap at Poppabox in DC the other day. Haven’t tried Alaska’s.

Yeah it's not like it's hard to explain. If someone doesn't know what it is just say it's a Korean rice bowl.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while) I once had bibimbap on a VX flight from SFO to ORD back in 2015.

Seat 2A

I remember back in the 80s when being Denver based, United was my airline of choice. Bailey's was their Irish Cream of choice. Then one day due to a flight cancellation I was switched from United's First Class to TWA's First Class. TWA served Carolans. I liked it a bit better than the Baileys. I still do. It has a bit sharper taste, which I personally like.


So far as I know the FAs are usually provided with a print out describing the catering options for First Class. Whether catering loads them or whether the FA chooses to use them seems to vary from flight to flight. I remember one flight where the FA offered us essentially "Chicken or a salad". Later, I saw a sheet in the galley with a more detailed description of the meal choices. I get the sense some FAs simply can't be bothered.

I actually see them reading off of and passing out their iPhone for this as it is not printed.

Thanks for the tip. I look forward to trying Carolans one day. For now, I’m enjoying my first Five Farms. Very smooth.



I don’t recall flying TWA, but know someone who was an FA back then. Or maybe it was Pan Am. I should ask her about drinks. Wasn’t there a Pan Am TV show a few years ago? Unfortunately just for one season, I think.

That show was probably at a time where probably everything was "full bottles" and there were no security checkpoints.

Sounds like my style.

The Good Old Days of Aviation I suppose. I recently flew LH in Business Class and was surprised to see that alcohol was served from mini bottles whereas Virgin Atlantic still does full bottles in Upper Class.

PDX-PHX tonight - Hand wipes now Clorox branded and the cloth napkin with cutlery has been exchanged for a paper packet with paper napkin (and the same metal cutlery)

This is what I had out of PDX last week.

I had my first flight this month last night. Was shocked to see new options. I'm more shocked there is a new scotch. And I didn't realize it although I did take a picture of the card. There was baileys on board last night.
