lately I'm confused by this as well. The wonderful snack trays that were previously there seemed to have disappeared. DFW-HKG a couple days ago had something similar to what is pictured. A big disappointment.

Why even bother with the fancy bar area if you are just going to serve water, chips, and fruit. All of that could easily be provisioned in a galley area.

In fact, the snack bar setup in the galley in YCL on the A330s looks almost like that, minus the fruit and the fancier snack selections. Sad.

Recently had the Corn-fed Chicken, I thought it was very tasty.

This is really too bad. Always thought the snack bar was too good to last on penny pinching AA. The jello cups were my favorite and I will be very sad if they're not offered any more.

I thought I read somewhere upthread that the snack bar selection had been greatly reduced due to take rates. Someone had noted it on a JFK-LHR flight or something and it was a change due to how much wastage there was.

I can't say I blame them. There are snacks on demand to ask for from an FA, and if you're in the mood for something peckish, the new snack basket should solve that.

I don't take too many international flights on AA, but I can say that from all of the JFK-LAX/SFO flights I take, while the snack and fruit baskets at the front of Business is nice, I've never used it, and rarely see anyone else doing so.

I've never had any snacks on JFK-LHR - however on the reverse I would grab few items, especially when the second meal was boring asian noodle salad or croque monsieur(I'm vegetarian). I enjoyed the small desserts as well!

How was the lobster ravioli? Worth a pre-order?

On the 77W snacks are set up in the galley between the two J cabins.

Yup - I know, I meant I've never needed them on overnight transatlantic flights :)

Um...nothing to write home about. But I will still pre-order that if other choices are not interesting, just in case it runs out.

Any reports on MIA-LIR or similar destination on the 175. Headed there in about a week and wanted to know what to except.

I'm disappointed as well. Moreover, the presentation of the snack bar is also dependent on crew. On my flight back to HKG (AA193), the snack bar was essentially not existent. Just some pieces of Giradeli chocolate lying around. Didn't take a photo so can't show it here

We flew our first, in almost two years, transatlantic flights in coach over Easter from ORD to CDG and LHR to DFW. The flights were empty and we are conserving our SWUs this year. We ate at the Flagship Lounge in ORD so skipped the meal to Paris. Thank goodness we had a four-hour layover at the LHR Flagship Lounge yesterday so we had some decent snacks, Moet champagne, and soup. I have no idea what we were served as our entrée on the flight to DFW. We were given a choice of vegetarian or beef with no other explanation. My vegetarian dish had rice, a dark green vegetable, and a strange orange mixture. Does anyone know what is was? I put the plastic back over it and nibbled on the cheese, crackers, bread, butter, and salad. My mother had the beef and said it tasted like and had the texture of beef in Campbell's vegetable beef soup. She did not eat her entrée either. I used to volunteer for Meals on Wheels and honestly those meals looked and smelled better. We did receive small cups of vanilla ice cream mid-flight. The pre-arrival snack was a folded vegetarian pizza and a red velvet sponge served in a box.

On domestic day flights they offer for sale (free for exps^) a cheese and fruit item plus sandwiches are these available on intl (if you don't like bc meals)?
