LAS-JFK FLT#65 (n/s redeye) on 10/8/18 on a 737-800 EXCELLENT
First the plane niceties: (1)in f (=bc) the tray raises when you press a button (for domestic I've never seen this before), (2)the tray was magnetic so "silverware" won't slip off, (3)in the toilet the water spray was warm and had nice pressure.
For the flight: (1)efficient PDB, (2)later the snack nuts was too much to eat--filling the cup to the brim, (3)later a cheese and fruit plate was offered, when I flew 65 about a month earlier we got a warm cookie, (4)efficient (NYC based FAs), (5)due to 8 wheelchair pax the door closed at T-1 (min) and we got to the t/o runway 10 minutes later arriving in JFK early.

In all seriousness, though, glad you enjoyed your flight.

DL's 767 business class tray tables are magnetized in parts because of the way they fold in half and then flip over to be stored horizontally. (Can't remember if AA's 767s are the same). And the silverware will stick in the right places. But I don't know if this is necessary in a regular domestic FC seat where the tray table is stored vertically in the armrest.
