Meal Preorders are Back! (Feb 2021)

I just noticed that on a JFK/LAX flight I have next month, I have the meal preorder option again!

Good news. I was hoping that meals would be back before my next flight in May.

Not on my flights. Must be on transcons or TATL or TPAC only.

Those and DFW-HNL/OGG are the only flights that offer meals now

That’s why I don’t think it’s much to get excited about

Meal preorders never went away for international flights.

please post the menu, I have not had the offer on my 77W MIA-LAX flight showing, have another one less than 30 days not showing, and just tried to do a dummy booking and not showing as someone with dietary restrictions I love the pre order

I'm also on MIA-LAX and don't see the pre orders loaded for a flight next week. Can't wait to have this back. I was in LAX-MIA F on a 3 class and they were so skinny they didn't have enough of everything even for that cabin of 8 seats. Given how few perks there are in true F these days I thought that in poor taste...

I am also supposed to be in F and would be surprised why they couldn't just go back to J and get some since I believe the menus are duplicate?

That was my thought exactly.

Regardless, I admit a 'real' airplane meal was rather tasty. It's been a while and I sorely missed them!

I agree, we all know they are not anything special but I enjoy the novelty of it, helps time pass by, and a good filling meal plus lots of drinks to keep me full until my destination when I can eat again. I purposely plan my longer flights with this in mind.
