I was looking at the multi-pack of chicken breasts at my local Tom Thumb (DFW Safeway chain) the other day, and the chicken breasts averaged over 1 lb each. Don't think I've ever had one that big for an airline meal.

Lunch
Dep 1240PM

PDBs - Water

Salad

Salad with Steak (didn't see it)

OR

Moroccan Lemon Chicken with rice and chick peas

The chicken was one of the best airline meals I've had - nice spice - the rice seemed to be basmati rice - and the chick peas were in a nice sauce. There was a side of chutney.

Overall - excellent main

salad was typical - cookies for desert

Dinner flight 75 IAD-LAX biz class menu. Had prosciutto as an app. Motz salad choice of chateaubriand and a sundae. The other dinner option was four cheese ravioli. Also a cookie short time later.For a 5+hour flight lots of good food not to mention plenty of calories.

Eggs quesadilla for breakfast this morning DFW-BDL (not my favorite AA breakfast- would prefer an omelette):



Salmon, rice and broccoli on tonight's 1850 DFW-SFO (other option was pasta):



Any my first new-livery 777 sighting just before boarding the SFO flight (it was Sao Paolo bound from a gate just outside the D side AC):

Curious about how AA selects meals bkfst versus lunch on flights...

Why does AA2 930A LAXJFK offer Breakfast in J/F when same 930A dpt time AA1470 LAXORD serves Lunch instead?

Is there any rhyme or reason?

Thanks.

Good question.

I would have thought it makes more sense to serve lunch on the JFK flight you mention, not the ORD flight.


Personally, I wish lunch started earlier. On even the earliest flights, I am generally up for at least three hours by the time breakfast is served.

How can u tell which meals are served before booking.

flymeAAway

When making a reservation by price and schedule click on the icon near the flight number.It provide you meals, advance purchase requirement, booking code and cabin.

The .pdf timetable contains the meals as well.

I've had breakfast and lunch on the ORD flight - probably lunch when it was scheduled to depart at 9:45 am.

The change happened around the summer of 2010. At that time, it was a 763 exception for LAX-ORD and SFO-ORD. The change was implemented based on customer surveys.

Agreed. Perhaps I'm the exception but I always eat Breakfast immediately after I wake up so I'd rather have lunch especially on a flight departing after 9am from the west coast

A 9:30 a.m. eastbound flight will arrive ORD mid-afternon, long past lunch.

A 9:30 a.m. westbound flight will arrive LAX before/just at lunch time.

That said, I will almost always prefer lunch over breakfast. Frankly, there should probably be a "brunch" service with things like quiche and salad but no cereal (well there should never be cereal).

Choice of beverage after takeoff with a hot towel.

Choice of cereal or a "quiche lorraine."

I chose the quiche lorraine, which came with asparagus and a breaded tomato. The dish it was served on was smaller than I am used to for a main entree dish. The FA had to heat up the quiche 3 separate times, as apparently it wasn't warm enough in the middle. I thought that the dish was quite good. I also thought that it was interesting that the cereal appeared to be from a box, as one would buy in the store. The brand was cascadian farms.

Dish was also served with a choice of biscuit or muffin, along with strawberry jam and butter on the tray.

Also came with a side plate of fruit featuring various diced melons and a solitary strawberry.

Drinks were re-filled as needed.

PDB Drink of choice.

Drink of choice, hot towel, and hot nuts after takeoff.

Lunch choices were either sauteed shrimp or salad with chicken. I've loved the salad in the past, though decided to be different and choose the shrimp. The dish, again on a smaller plate, came with 3 warm, cooked shrimp, grits, and corn and lima beans. I thought the dish was bland, though for me, I'd rather have a bland dish than super spicy. In short, I'd order it again. The meal also came with a side salad with balsamic vinagrette dressing and a choice of rolls, featuring...paging lucky9876coins... pretzel or wheat. I chose the pretzel and could of had 2 or 3! Choice of cookies for dessert including the white cranberry, chocolate chunk, or chocolate chip...flight attendant remarked that there were...several of each. I chose the chocolate chunk and was not disappointed. Drink refills were good during the meal, though the FA disappeared after the meal. Mints offered prior to landing.

True, but the flights the (pre-merge) OP mentioned are both eastbound from LAX at the same time. The ORD flght lands at 15:15, while the JFK flights lands much later at 17:45.

I agree, with regards to a true brunch offering.
