For comparison, here’s what ORD-HNL is showing for meals. And that’s a 9 plus hour flight!

American hasn't yet updated their schedule for dates later than 4 November 2020. That's why the pre-COVID offerings are shown.
If the Hawaii quarantine continues by then, I guess that this route would not operate.

Yes, the meals listed on the website are generally not accurate.

This was a photo i pulled from social media of the DFW-HNL flight. Looks pretty decent.

Just flew business class DFW-CUN Sept 14th and returned 18th. They had the cheese and fruit shown in the pic in post 1118 of this thread and turkey sandwiches both directions. I swear the cheese tray looked larger than what is shown in that photo. Both directions they handed out goodie bags with a half size bottle of water, mini pretzels in the smaller size individual bags, and a hand sani towelette as we entered the plane.

They did beverage service for the entire airplane on the flight down. Just started in the front and ran through the whole airplane. A different flight attendant pulled the curtain closed after they finished in Business then went round giving everyone the option of a sandwich or the cheese tray.

On the way back they announced no beverage service after the last person entered the plane before everyone had even set down. They were also announcing no food pick up something in the airport before you leave just before boarding started. They pulled the curtain on Business class and did drinks followed by giving everyone the option to have a sandwich or the cheese tray. One of the flight attendants marched up and down the aisle quite a bit. At one point I had just taken a drink of my drink and set it aside. I had my hands full and she shouted at me to get my mask on with an extremely pissed off look on her face. I ended up not finishing my soda just to not deal with her. She also managed to seem offended when I tossed the 2/3 full cup in the trash when she passed through collecting trash. I got the feeling she had had it with push back over masks so I wasn't mad just mentioning it to point out a lot of folks are still stressing over Covid and all this mask business.

I am mentally adding up another L in your username and it’s giving me anxiety lol.

I'm adding another N in the name of previous fun flying times before Covid

I have six flights this week; moved all of them to Delta. Not dealing with FA negativity this week over furloughs and not following service policy. We have ALL lost work and career opportunities because of this. Airline crew do not get extra sympathy for that (although I do have sympathy for what they're going through, but many of us didn't have six months to plan another work option like they did). Hopefully after 10/2, service slowly improves.

You moved your flights to DL where their FAs are allegedly threatening to unionize if they are required to serve ice and soft drinks on domestic flights? Right now, AA and UA have brought back meals whilst DL isn't even serving ice. Good luck flying them.

To be honest, in my recent travels which have been pretty evenly split between DL and AA, I've been having more engaging and pleasant crews on AA. I'm not sure why, though it's a real shift from my experience last year.

Yeah, something about cutting off nose despite face...LOL. Also, in your (very funny) signature, you need a space between "Under" and "Achiever", or you need to remove the space between the others. OCD...

BlooJoo

Likely unionization fever on DL, whereas AA has been unionized long enough to know the truth about being in the union.

fly747first

Awww thanks! I'm good though... I intentionally have it as UnderAchiever to highlight how UA pretty much redefines extreme underachieving behavior, e.g., spending lots of $$$$ for new plates only to soon discover that these failed to endure cold temperatures and they ended up serving sundaes in Dixie cups for a while. It's like the airline's dream as a child was basically "when I grow up, I'm going to underachieve in everything I do!" Well little UA, dreams can really come true!

DL FAs may not have much to serve right now, but they are hands-down the friendlier and more consistent of the two airlines. I fly both regularly, but DL FAs are not being furloughed, so yes, I moved my business away from AA to avoid the contemptuous period the next week will bring to cabin crew emotions (which I get, but just am tired of dealing with when we're all going through it too so don't take it out on the people paying your salary).

AA FAs are pretending to avoid service protocol on 4 hours flights (on the ones I have been on, twice only Y got the bags with water, F got nothing except on request drinks) so I would rather know what I am getting on DL 100% consistency rather than AA 25% consistency.

Sorry to hear about this.....I’ve had the exact opposite experience recently on AA....I even heard my FC FAs discussing their furlough but still providing nice service and fresh meals in FC. Enjoy those DL snack boxes lol.
