From my experience on the redeyes most of the paxs in F/J usually refuse the meal and get to sleep quickly. Coming from LA most have likely eaten dinner and will hit the ground running as soon as they land at JFK thereby trying to maximize the already short period.
My recent SFO/LAX-JFK redeyes have just been to connect on to flights to Europe from JFK so I'm not to worried about hitting the ground running. I just end up in the Flagship lounge in JFK waiting for my flight and doing work there for a while, or taking naps. |
What happened to the Shrimp Cocktail?

Speaking of meals on redeyes
AA 192 LAX-BOS 752 w/ 22F 9:45PM-6:10AM (sked) 10:09PM-6:21AM (actual) August 23, 2011 Midnight Raid PDB: Water, Orange Juice, and Sparkling Wine Attentive and happy cabin crew. Everyone was chipper from start to finish. Bottles of water were passed out right before the door closed. Meals choices were a seared ahi tuna with lentils or a cheese and fruit plate. Before landing, a full drink run was performed with coffee, juice, and water ready to go in cups. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/7...0823223841.jpg http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/5...0823223923.jpg |

One of these factors would be involved: Flight Block time OVER 3 hrs but not transcon= Yes Competition with other carriers on the same route = Possibly Mileage based = Maybe AA Super Secret Algorithm = Likely |
What are American's "traditional" meal times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I'm booked on DFW-LAX with an 8:20 PM departure. 8:20 seems like it should be dinner time, but they label it as snack/brunch.

Interesting that Ahi Tuna is used as a "snack" talk about one of the most expensive fish's to use and hardest to cook too. Not everyone like fish.. I wonder how long this will stay in the rotation?

I'm fairly sure that 'enhancement' to dinner is for flights that fall within a certain criteria for the 'dinner' time block.

The cheese they use in the fruit and cheese plate is pretty decent quality too - far better than the cheese plate for dessert on international J. |
DFW-DCA (8/23/2011)
Snack/Brunch To begin: Warm nuts and a cranberry-orange vodka mixer Picture Snack: Choice of: Warm Turkey Sandwich or Cold Buffalo Chicken Salad Picture To Finish: Freshly baked cookie Picture Very delicious and filling meal. The sandwich hit the right spot - it was perfectly cooked and the bread baked freshly. The side salad, though, was not the best. Bag of Pita Chips was average. A side note that the meal tray and the plates, etc. appeared smaller than they did in the pictures here. (It was my first time flying AA midcon F.) The main plate fit easily in my hand. Are transcon/international F/J plates as small? |
BOS-DFW
Lunch flight - Beef quesadilla with salsa and rice; side salad with cheese, beans, and corn salsa w/creamy cilandro dressing; pita chips and garlic hummous - Chicken and blueberry salad; pita chips and garlic hummous Chocolate chip cookie |

If its a dinner on a flight blocked at more than 3 hours, it gets shrimp cocktail and sundaes UNLESS it is catered as a transcon (varying appetizers, made to order sundaes, menus, etc).
