I'm hoping someone will pre order a meal in PE since the meals in PE seem to be domestic F meals, the domestic Diabetic meal seems to be a clear winner when it comes to content and portions, just wondering if it translate into PE.

LHR-LAX J meal on AA109. Am tempted to order the Seafood Bouillabaisse.

I'm on it. Flying DFW-NRT in PE on 12/16, I have chosen Asian Vegetarian (lunch). Of course, I have an SWU waitlisted and the cabin is only 19/35 full so we'll see... but if I miss, I'll post a report.

I have the same thing on a CDG-DFW leg in a few weeks and went with the chicken.

For HKG-LAX in F on 12/23, I have the following options:

This is the first time, as far as I'm aware, that the four-option "beef, chicken, fish, or veg" are all alternates (lamb, squab, shrimp, tofu).

But I don't think that will stop the FAs from calling the lamb "the beef" or the squab "the chicken."

I'm going with the lamb chops for now.

Hello, occasional visitor from the BA board here.

I have my first AA longhaul flight coming up, flying LHR / MIA on AA 39 on 22nd December in F. The lunch choices are extremely uninspiring:

Lunch meals

• Choose later
• Umami Crusted Beef Tenderloin, confit barrel chips, mushroom ketchup
• Citrus-Grilled Hake, Gin Mare sauce, Seville orange segments, asparagus
• Corn-Fed Chicken, braised chorizo and runner beans
• Aromatic Chickpea, sweet potato, sautéed Padrón peppers and piquillo peppers

• Asian Vegetarian

BA usually offers a special Christmas menu in the few days before Christmas, usually roast turkey with all the trimmings and it's the only time I get a Christmas meal. Do any regular Christmas flyers know whether AA will also offer an additional turkey option on board?

Otherwise I'm really not sure what to choose - I have seen pictures and descriptions of the umami tenderloin up-thread and it does not inspire me! Having a surprise turkey dinner is my biggest hope right now.

Thank you very much for any knowledge regulars may have.

Can anyone make a recommendation for my upcoming MIA-LAX and LAX-SYD flights?
TY, N.M.P.

I have never seen a special Christmas menu on AA.

Ah, that's a shame! Thanks very much for you response, I'll do the on-the-day- lottery in that case.

Just landed about 2 hours ago after a pleasant BCN-JFK in J flight. I did in fact have the broccoli stuffed Chicken dish and it was pretty tasty. The chicken was a bit dry but the broccoli helped with that. I’m a pasta lover, so the Schupfnudeln (never heard of it before) helped make my decision to choose this dish and I liked it as well. The meat pies serves before arrival were decent as well. I’d order the chicks dish again.




Braised Beef
horseradish sauce, sweet potato mash, brown butter, creamed savoy cabbage

Broccoli-Stuffed Chicken
tomato marinara sauce, roasted Schupfnudeln, cherry tomatoes on the vine

Honey and Soy Marinated Salmon
teriyaki sauce, edamame, grits, broccoli

Potato Korma Curry
dal makhani, basmati rice, sautéed spinach, paratha bread

Hi all!
Normally a BA flyer, but have due to a schedule change been reacommodated on an AA DFW-LHR. Flying Economy Plus(?), curious if the meal will be standard economy meal or something a bit nicer. All input appreciated.

If you mean that you're in Premium Economy (the counterpart to BA's WTP), then you'll find the meal to be closer to a US Domestic First Class meal (see pictures above). I imagine that's what you're in.

If, however, you're in Main Cabin Extra, then that's just regular economy with better legroom and a regular economy meal.

Surprised to see five choices for my upcoming DFW-NRT (just cleared 5 days out). Lunch flight. Going with top option unless someone says it's a terrible idea. Will post pics on the flip side.
