ORD-LHR F meal/beverage options
 
I did a search and couldn't find anything recent on this... Does AA offer Johnnie Walker Blue label in F on ORD --> LHR?

Appreciate the help.

Any recent menu/service posts?

(please don't criticize me for not knowing...)

Checkout Tom911's recent post of menus for JFK-LHR-ORD in J here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=528695

F meals will be similar to J with a few enhancements. Service wise, the meals will be served on the flagship china, not pre-plated, and the service will be far more individualized than J. Heading eastbound there will be a smoked salmon appetizer cart and a separate salad card that should include the choice of lobster tails. Dessert will be a choice of either an ice cream sundae or one additional choice (likely a fruit based dish) AND the cheese plate (I believe J only gets dessert OR cheese). Breakfast will be larger and should include a cooked dish (although I believe that cooked-to-order eggs have been discontinued in the last year). Wine lists will be roughly the same with perhaps a slightly better Champagne in F (sadly, Belle-Eqoque is now only available on the CDG routes). Certainly no Blue Label (or any real top-shelf drinks for that matter), but drink choices should include: Glenlivet Single Malt, Dewar's White Label, Crown Royal, and Courvoisier VSOP, among others.

Hope this helps and enjoy your trip.

Yes - AA do offer Johnnie Blue in F, J and Y - in their duty free catalogue.

And no Shanghai Tang pajamas either!

Only BA and CX serve JW Blue these days. AA does have some pretty good wines which vary by route and season, and my last 2 flights have had the 1996 Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne (which is an excellent vintage, Dom quality and now sells for USD 150 a bottle); so some UK flights also get it. Breakfast has steak and an omelette (fresh eggs disappeared years ago, though CX still has it).
