Yep! I flew AA255 LAX-JFK on Saturday 12/16 and all was in place. Saw an LSG Skychefs vested guy by the F galley while boarding, and saw Business FA's setting up nut ramekins and bread bags while passing through to board. Fully catered!

It's pretty sad when we celebrate the return of crAApy food and $12 wines.

I, too, can confirm that "all was in place".

On December 16's LAX-DFW, AA#1243, 777 with all Zodiac seats, the Lasagna and the Vietnamese Salad reappeared. So did the Woodford Reserve.

On December 17's DFW-LAX, AA#2250, 77W, the Fruit Plate and the Chorizo-gravy Egg Biscuit thing took the stage.

My exact thoughts regarding complaining about crAApy food and $12 wine.

I'm still unable to select my meal for LAX-HKG on 12/24. Anyone else have that issue?

Booked on AA 73 from LAX to SYD December 26th. Nothing available for me, either.

Thanks for the info, but I learned this firsthand last night when I flew 10 back to JFK. Full catering, but no amenity kits. On a side note, why would anyone eat on board when FS Dining is everything that onboard dining is not?

lol so true! I have a JFK-LAX in F in early Jan and was looking at the pre-order menu, none of it was very exciting, and remembered the FS Dining pics and decided to not pick anything and eat in the lounge. Now that LAX has FS Dining as well, unless you're short on time, its a certainty that what you can get there will be better than onboard.

It's not just you. I attempted a sample booking, LAX-HKG 12/24, and returning 12/31. The AA website would only show the menu selections for the return flight.

Best to just wait and see, and enjoy the FL prior to your 12/24 departure.
