cmd320 notation (unofficial): the 2,200mi + section for F and J is a bit misleading. Domestic flights within the continental US other than premium transcons (JFK-LAX/SFO, MIA-LAX on 77W) do not receive a full meal and instead only see a sandwich/fruit and cheese plate.

SLC-DFW
Plastic bags of small water bottle, biscoff and wipe handed out upon boarding. No other pre-departure beverage.
Flight delayed because a young child with mental disabilities refused to keep his mask on. The pilot allowed the family to stay onboard and he screamed throughout the flight.
Once in the air, well after the seatbelt sign had been turned off, service eventually began. Only a snack box was offered on this AM flight and was unceremoniously plopped down on my armrest. It consisted of wheat thins, raisins, gouda cheese spread (which I thought was actually very good), Milano dark chocolate cookies, and almonds. Drink of choice followed. Is it just me or does no flight attendant seem to be aware of the Truly Hard Seltzer? The flight attendant remarked to ring the call button if we wanted a refill as "we're not supposed to be up."
Not AA's best flight service wise, but at least it was a 737 with TV's so was comfortable and I won't have an Oasis backache.

Not sure. The plane overnighted in SLC, so maybe it was double-catered from DFW? SLC used to have real meals prior to COVID (not the shelf stable stuff that non-catered stations received), so not sure if it was a miscater or AA terminated their catering contract at SLC.

Since SLC is an outstation with no catering morning meals will be the snack box. Happened to me a couple weeks ago flying out of GEG. Not exactly " the breakfast of champions."

LAX MIA, F 77W #1782 (midnight departure)
Can confirm that dinner is still served.
The menu listed 4 warm options but most didn't match their respective description so the cabin crew actually explained the real entree options to the confused passengers.
No more real dessert: we just got two small raspberry crumble squares and not cheesecake.
My colleague had the "thai chicken" and he said it was ok; I had the beef and didn't like it at all.

Business Class Meals on the 77W from DFW to HNL
Will be taking this in a few days. What is the meal/beverage service like these days?
Should I buy something in the terminal before departure instead?

AA102 HNL-DFW on the 77W. Good meal and inflight service. Unfortunately, absolutely no blankets/pillows were provisioned for the flight. Not sure if this was a one-off or standard for the ex-HNL flights.

This was the menu for the earlier MIA-LAX 77W flight departing around 3:30pm. Despite the departure time, this flight still offers a dinner service. Menus have been updated to reflect 'Flagship First' on the front of them, though the content remains unchanged for the most part:
Service started with a pack of pistachios and a first round of drinks.
Following this I went with the pasta option:
I wasn't personally a big fan of the starter as I don't like goat cheese. Pasta was alright, but also nothing to write home about. Overall a very standard domestic F-ish type meal. Doesn't resemble much of a Flagship product these days.
The purser was very good though and proactively apologized for having to pour in plastic. She stated she didn't really know what the point of that was given glass dishes and metal cutlery are being used. After the meal service she was very proactive in offering drink refills and passing out snacks. She gave me a few packs of Lorissa's jerky and parm crisps for the road too which was great. Overall, a good flight, bit it's time to get the meals back to how they should be for this product.

It’s weird the DFW-Hawaii-DFW flights get the mains in those plates but the premium transcons are still stuck with the casserole dishes.
That pasta above looks exactly the same as the one regular domestic First used to get on LGA-ORD etc lol.

Yikes, I'll be on the same flight tomorrow, I'll report back on the blanket and pillow. That would be um.... disappointing, to say the least, to fail to provision bedding on a redeye!
