Just flew JL PE from SFO. For all the same but different menu components, their salad was straight lettuce and garden vegetables with a side of ranch dressing and the arrival snack was Haagen Daz ice cream, vanilla not some weirdo hipster millennial flavor like salt lick lava rock ultra dark chocolate. Please book AS' F&B staff asap!

For all that FB at AS do they seems to fail year after year and frankly it seems to be getting worse. We are paying a premium to fly FC ( yes I pay) and deserve edible food, not some "not some weirdo hipster millennial flavor like salt lick lava rock ultra dark chocolate" Last flight from HNL there were six chicken and six fish, the plane landed with 0 chicken and 4 fish, tell you something ? 4 of us fed from the back!

For those who complain about Alaska's PDB service, my recent experience in AA F:
BOS - JFK: cup of water
JFK - SEA: nada
I did appreciate being asked to book my meal choice in advance though.

Yeah, the inconsistency of AA's PDB service has fueled a thread over in the AA forum.

I recall seeing a question along these lines on one of the Insight Community surveys. I've long complained about the inability to pre-order meals in first - especially when the app allows one to do so if flying in coach.

If they just put on a decent dish for sale to all I would be happy OR have Virgin F&B take over!! Now that's an idea.

Question, why would one want to reserve a meal in first? They should know by now that the pasta sucks, the fish is worse and dark chicken doesn't sell as well.!!!

Once in a while - very rarely - they actually *will* put together something decent. If there was a way to pre-order, then at least you'd know in advance what was on the menu for that flight.
Advance knowledge would prevent the ongoing gamble: Should I eat ahead before the flight if I have time or risk that the first class meal is going to be "South of Expected?"

Troubles in Seattle tonight
C gates station is out of service-- North train loop is running between D & N only. Departures boards have handwritten signs that information (may) be incorrect and to see an agent.
