I've never had this breakfast sandwich....it all sounds good with the exception of the baby arugula (aka, dandelion leaves) which I assume I could remove. When ordering a breakfast sandwich at virtually any restaurant, it is always served warm and since they have the ovens to warm up the pre-packaged cookies, I'm not sure why that wouldn't work with breakfast sandwich. Throw some type of egg, breakfast meat, and maybe Tillamook cheddar in a croissant and heat it up in the oven before serving

Coffee is back up front, with refills and everything - I don't know about in back. You need to read this thread from back to front, and maybe it's time for a wiki so people don't have to wade through to get the current state of things. In front I think it's up to two different kinds of beer, a mini bottle of wine, coke, diet coke, maybe seltzer (they have that in back), coffee, maybe more. Food has progressed from nothing (maybe a little chocolate bar) to snack basket snacks, through the old snack boxes, a few weeks of F&C plate, and starting wednesday there will be a wrap on afternoon and early evening flights and a cold sunrise breakfast sandwich on morning flights.

IIRC, I did have it once on a flight pre-apocalypse and the texture was kind of unappealing.

We do! You can expect it to be there on morning flights, while AFAIK on afternoon flights you shouldn't expected but it will sometimes be offered, I'm guessing its down to the FA, so I would recommend asking them anyways.

I've had it brewed for me on request on multiple evening flights. They seem happy to do it, and one FA even poured me a refill, then decided it wasn't hot enough and came back with a fresh brewed replacement cup.

I had this as coach BOB in summer ‘19 and thought it was OK (definitely had the same name, not sure if the toppings were identical or just similar). Probably not something I’d order on the ground, however. The evening wrap sounds more appealing to my taste buds.

My guess (and hope) is that the mayo is in a packet on the side so it's probably something you can add. I guess we'll all know soon once people start ordering it.....I'm just waiting for the chocolate chip (not whatever is out there now) cookies to return before my next flight in October

Well now I might get a chance to try the wrap, thanks to the smoke cancellations. I'm a 4pm flight out of PDX tuesday, which in principle is after the restart, but I don't actually expect the smoke to be any better tuesday than it's been today. If they bump me to wednesday I'll order the wrap and report back.

. Meanwhile, FA served coffee to those asking on SEA/OAK today. Both wines were decent enough ... Better than DL's little bottles. Tasty cookie after the F&C "platter" (notwithstanding the fact that I ordered an F&C plate). Water at seat when boarding. Lovely FA.

I have to say after flying AS in F with the new service changes, it over exceeded my expectations. Granted, this wasn't a TCON, but for a 2.5 hour flight was very solid, especially compared to my flights on AA where most of the time you get bubkes. After receiving the cheese plate, I thought this should hold me over until I land and get dinner. Then you get a warm cookie, pleasant surprise. Then a snack basket, where the FA said "Take as much as you want, no really", while not the healthiest selection, still had a good variety of items I would eat. Is it the 2019 meals? No, but for everything going on, and the wrap/sandwich offering going into effect today up front, it's good to see AS making some effort.
