Is pre-order is back yet on the domestic premium transcons? I'm flying MIA-LAX in 77W J next week and my confirmation email states "Meals: Entrée Selected" - yet I don't recall ever selecting an entree and the pre-order option does not appear in the usual spot when I access the reservation on AA.com.

I was curious about this so I pulled up my flights. I'm also flying MIA-LAX in 77w J and LAX-JFK in 772 J this weekend. The MIA-LAX flight doesn't have a preorder option but LAX-JFK does. For those that are curious, the LAX-JFK breakfast preorder options are Three Cheese Poblano Omelette, Traditional American Breakfast, Coconut Chia Oatmeal and Protein Plate.

I like this new watermelon mixer
MIA-DFW 777 Concept D seats
Ice and fresh food are apparently COVID-19 free on AA but not on Delta LOL

DFW-OGG
Super Diamond Boeing 777-200
Lunch & Snack Service
My SWU cleared at about T-24 so I was unable to pre-order, but nonetheless grateful to have been upgraded on this full up front flight. B&O headphones, and full-sized pillow and Casper blanket were waiting at my seat upon boarding, as well as a (slightly wet for whatever reason) menu.
DFW-OGG Menu
I chose the curry and found it dry. The shrimp were of better size than I expected for AA shrimp. The tuna appetizer was excellent, as was the lemon tart. The roll was cold.
DFW-OGG Lunch
Drink service was meh throughout the flight. My initial request for a Mai Tai was pre-poured in half a glass. It was good for about 2 gulps, and then I was thirsty again. I switched to Jack & Coke and was given doubles, but only a single with the beverage service prior to landing.
We were given a full bottle of water as well, and mine came from Argentina, lol, clearly leftover from a previous flight...I'll gladly take that over Dasani any day!
DFW-OGG Pre-landing snack
I chose the protein plate snack since the FA described the fruit & cheese plate as "cheese & grapes," lol. It was small but at least fresh.

Thanks for your post about your recent DFW-OGG experience. It is great to hear they are offering pillows and blankets again. Did they give an amenity kit?
We'll be on 119 next week and the meal options on offer are:
Would love any recommendations, I don't see much info about these particular dishes. Also we are traveling with a picky child, so none of these would appeal to them unless there are sides of some sort besides perhaps a dinner roll. I called to request a child meal, which the website seems to suggest could be available on this flight but they said there would be child meal option on these flights. thanks!
We'll be on 119 next week and the meal options on offer are:

grilled shrimp, beef filet, truffleyaki sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes - Macadamia Crusted Sea Bass

I recently had the pasta shells on a DFW-HNL flight and yes, the roll was served cold on February 27th! However, the pasta shells were delicious, as was the lemon tart. The roll was warmed on the HNL-ORD flight on March 6th. I was impressed with AA flight attendants on both flights, as they were both friendly and efficient. I needed some TLC after my sour experience at the DFW Admirals Club, where one woman gave me someone else's boarding pass, Not the end of the world but the woman was incredibly ugly when I returned the pass and requested mine in return.
