Hmmm maybe I will do the american breakfast. I love potatoes and a grilled tomato too. Should be better on the stomach at 6am than the enchilada. As of now I selected the oatmeal.
Have you had the Muesli? I've never had it with AA before.
Btw, probably outside the FT scope but do you think the bacon on the "american breakfast" is packaged separate and something the FA opens up meaning I can hold it but it will have never been touching or changing the smell of the eggs/potatoes or do you think it comes all together and not individually sealed meaning the bacon is with the eggs./potatoes touching it/next to it?
Thx

As served!
Unwrapped!
The enchilada was tasteless, textuarlly it was a step up from pablum. The "bite-sized" chicken sausage was a salt bomb rendering the taste of the protein difficult to discern. The black beans tasted like salt too. I am sure they were cooked in heavily salted sea water... The New York wet bagel resisted the aggressiveness of the knife. Too hard & dry to eat. The pineapple was nice, best item on the dish while the typical honeydew melon & cantaloupe were harvested 3 weeks and 2 weeks before ripeness respectively. Grapes were pump & juicy but the cheese needed a little time to warm.
I don't fly AA for the food. It never has been their strong point even pre-pandemic.
I didn't complain, much what I expected anyway. There wasn't anything Flagship about the flight. The seat was heavily stained, the footwell broken, the overhead light inoperative & no internet.
The flight in J was a complimentary upgrade on a sub $100 fare. That shouldn't change the Flagship experience but I would be furious if I had paid for it. I at least got a few hours sleep sans the elusive Casper bedding.
If this is what AA markets as their Flagship Service it is very sAAd.

Has anyone flown MIA-LAX with lunch or dinner recently? Did they have bedding? Flight coming up soon in J from MIA-LAX.

That enchilada no way i can do it at 6am too.. The bacon if its heated up with the eggs and rest will ruin it for me. If FA can remove before heating maybe. I think I just go with the oatmeal and have some cheese & wine and at least have FFD to look forward to upon arrival. Very sad AA can bring back a French toast or waffle or just mix it up a bit for breakfast. I'm not a huge B6 fan and found the food overrated but at least it was interesting. I also havent tried them since they switched caterers. At least they have some innovation & vareity.
Maybe I should give DL another shot for Transcon once we come out of the pandemic. I just thought Jon & Vinnys food was really bad both times and they dont do a sundae cart or cheese plate.

Flying JFK-SFO at 9pm on Flagship Business, does anyone know what this evening "PM snack basket" consists of?

Recent FT reports show bedding continues to be hit-or-miss in Flagship F/J on this route. No idea why AA cannot get their act together on this issue. Generally, I've found MIA-LAX tends to more consistently have bedding compared with the LAX-MIA return. YMMV.
