We were offered the chicken sandwich (above) or protein plate.
It was warm throughout and I enjoyed it. A little packaged cookie or brownie wouldn't hurt.

Sorry forgot to get pictures on either but figured I would still mention both anyways.

Choices in F were identical to what was for purchase in coach. In fact, our food reservation followed us when we were upgraded (although we were given the option to change it).

Choices were Protein Platter or a breakfast sandwich with thick-cut bacon, egg, and a chorizo sauce on something like a ciabatta roll. They heated and plated it with grapes and apple slices. It was passable, but meager given a 2:50 flight. They also served the smoothie (cranberry? Strawberry? Apple?)

Coffee and OJ offered as PDB.

only on the "premium long hauls" I believe, which are almost all transcons. I don't think mints are on the midcon flights. I may be wrong though... my experiences are primarily long haul flights.

I received mints on my QX flights the last couple of weeks.

MKE to SEA #367
A couple days ago

Roasted clementine chicken , saffron basmati rice, and kale. Some sort of Demi glaze sauce

Wife had spinach ricotta ravioli.

Kid Fruit and Cheese plate.

Also the typical salad and roll along with bagged cookie after dinner.

Can’t remember last flight where I wasn’t offered mints. Mostly midcon flights seattle to ORD or other Midwest flights. Also frequent SEA to LAX or SNA.

That's good to hear - I don't fly on these flights often so thought it was limited to the PLH flights.

Mints were offered on my PSP-SEA and OAK-SEA flights last November

Route: JFK-SFO
Flight Number: AS627
Departure time: 9:30am
Menu: yes
Meal description: breakfast
Snack basket offered: yes

Same winter menu introduced last month, that has already been posted in the 2019 thread. However, an update from my flight: in the 2019 thread, people were asking why F&C didn't appear as a pre-order option with this menu. On my flight, F&C again was not a pre-order option in the app. However, for the first time I've seen, the FA when taking food orders was proactively offering F&C platters to passengers who didn't seem interested in either entree option. 3/12 passengers in the cabin took him up on the offer.

I was on AS1021 BUR-SEA on Saturday, seated in row 6.

It's been a long time since I've had an F Upgrade on this route, but as I've documented here in the past, F breakfast on this flight where the plane spends the night at Burbank has been, historically, a non-standard breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito. Due to catering limitations, this food comes down the previous night and is stored in a cold box somewhere at the airport, then warmed up the next morning.

Comments have been made before that the standard "cold breakfast" of granola, etc would look better than this reheated thing and it was puzzling why AS is not choosing that options for this route.

As I was in 6, I did hear the F F/A introduce the breakfast, and they have transitioned to a cold breakfast of the standard granola offering for all F guests on this route.

Lunch

Another in the parade of chicken sandwiches. This one had cheese and what appeared to be caramelized onion. The other choice was a protein plate. I enjoyed it with a double Woodford mule.

Dinner

The flight attendant SEA-SBA advised me that the pasta option served ex-SEA had a lot of squash and did not look very good, so I had another chicken sandwich; this version had pesto and roasted red pepper. No problem; I enjoyed it as well, this time with some Browne Family Tribute red (delicious, IMHO).
