I bet jerky is the highest cost item in that basket.

No problem understanding why Parker would yank that out.

It's always odd when you realize you could be eating better in Y with your free EXP meal/snack than in F with full service. The jerky was the only redemptive part of the snack basket.

This aggression will not stand! I encourage all of you to join me in boycotting AA until they bring back the jerky and also the Mrs. Thinsters chocolate chip cookies from last year (or was it 2017...).

There is only one logical conclusion. Some jerk has been taking the jerky.

Partially right. It is the best (by far) of all offerings...but still 6 grams as I recall.

You can ask nicely for a snack box while in FC. Generally not an issue.

I know. It's just strange that SOP would leave me with a worse food offering in F than in Y. #goingforgreat

I think this thread deserves to stay alive for a long time like the PDB/No-PDB thread! We should all take to Twitter and demand that the sweet teriyaki deliciousness be brought back to the snack basket!

YYZ/ORD no jerky

Seated in 1A saw FA unwrap the basket, but that clingwrap isn't the best security!

Larissas cost like $6-$7 per pack in NYC......I was shocked it was that high so no wonder AA got rid of it. Major bummer.

Same size package? I think snack basket was 1 oz versus 3 oz in store.

Thought AA got at cost pricing for many items in the basket as this is Marketing product placement. AA is providing product samples to a relatively high income captive audience.
