My experience is that it switched to a Mediterranean tapas box on March 1. Who doesn't love olives and hummus for breakfast?

How to make the cookie less messy, so it can be eaten easily:
1. When food/drink order is taken, request that your cookie not be heated
2. Flight attendant removes one cookie from the pre-baked/pre-bagged set before re-heating
3. When distributing the cookies, yours is delivered at room temperature; sometimes before any of the others are delivered
The above has become my MO, when I am upgraded to F. I’d highly recommend this!

1) If you can't bring back the Hazelnut Espresso Vodka to the planes, at least let the lounges serve it.
2) Bring back the fall 2018 "attempted virgin" exotic catering options. I miss having a breakfast quesadilla and chicken bulgogi. Sandwiches, even prepandemic, were underwhelming even for Alaska's premerger standards

Totally agree... I really enjoyed the more "exotic" choices that would come out from time to time. The quesadilla was fantastic.

It sounds like Delta is adding additional food & beverage offerings on April 14th, including canned cocktails (https://tiptopcocktails.com/). It's not clear if this will even bring them to the current AS service level, but for our sake and the sake of minis returning, let's hope so!

I could very much get behind this. Throw a random assortment in the beer drawer and I would be thrilled. These are not like the Club cocktails I would remove from fridges of the unwary during my amateur/pre-strictly-legal drinking years.

I am flying AS for the first time in a year. Flying many flights in First, including cross-country. What happens if I do not pre-order a meal? Neither of the two choices interest me. Does that mean bringing my own food?
