Is it just me or did JFK-LAX Breakfast service get a lot better?

JFK-LAX
A321T
Business Class
Breakfast
Comp UPG cleared at booking (not a SWU) which was a little over 24 hours in advance

Menu (4 options, including two egg dishes)

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a4ce881c24.jpg

PDB of bubbles, water or OJ.

Hot towels, linens, first drink service with two packaged biscotti in a ramekin (these have been hit or miss for me )

The scrambled eggs were actually really good and the tomato was super flavorful....I ate everything

I don't remember a post breakfast dessert......today it was a large fruit and cheese plate (no pic)

Then the snack baskets laid out

Then the cookie service

Plenty of refills throughout the flight and Viasat WiFi worked really well and for $16 is a fair price and I was able to go back and forth between my laptop and phone.

Overall very impressive I must say!

I dont think BUF is a catering station so this flight would be double catered so the meal would be shelf stable items. Eat before getting to the airport...

Most diabetic meals I have seen have been heavy on the protein (double meats instead of carb-heavy options).

I did diabetic out of vegas, was basically the same chicken served for the other meals, minus the sauce. And roasted potatoes instead of the twice baked potato.
Did diabetic out of Miami - was a beef fillet with couscous and broccoli, same sides as the other trays (along with the pre-packaged roll) which was much better than the bread served from the bread basked (stale).

None of the diabetic meals have been great - makes me want to exercise more so one day I won't really need a diabetic diet.

Last year many members posted photos that the Diabetic meal they got had two of the same proteins, IF it was a hot chicken dish, there was a sliced cold chicken on a separate plate. Lately it seems that AA has changed their Diabetic meals a little, which I would assume would be better then the normal meal. However, it all depends on what station you are getting your meal from too. Here in PHX the special meals seems to be rather better then other stations.

Short rib was cooked really well and the BBQ sauce was pretty solid.

No room for dessert

200x better than the spinach mush they've had in the evenings for what seems like forever...

LGA-ORD
738
Lunch

PDB of choice

Look at all of that room. A separate flip-down tray for the mixed nuts; a stand-up tray for the drinks. a stable meal table; a proper seat pocket.

Enjoy it all while you can....

BOS-PHX LAA B738 (non-Oasis). LAX LAA crew. Full bar PDB, excellent by-the-book dinner service. Pre-ordered diabetic meal -- everyone had meal envy. Other options were some sort of chicken and "lasagna", which is really more like a bolognese. Ice cream sundae or cheese plate for dessert.

Drink refills the ENTIRE 6.5 hour flight. Well done!

Hello,

I've got a red eye flight coming up that's offering the following two breakfast meals. Does anyone have any experience/recommendation with these choices?

• Steel Cut Oatmeal
  • various fruit garnishes
• Smoked Fontina Cheese Omelette
  • with Peppadews, herbed potatoes and Italian parmesan chicken sausage
