OMG - yes, I agree. Asking for an extra dessert when the cabin is empty is one thing. Asking for a third seems a bit much. The problem is others will see the extra dessert, ask and then be denied if there are none left, generating a different complaint to AA. Most prudent thing is one entrée and one dessert per passenger to avoid the 'why did he get extra but I can't' complaints.

2/26-1756 MSP-PHX. No PDB, full beverage service once in the air, no meal even though flight was listed as dinner. Flight crew did get their hot meal, we got two passes of the snack basket. I wasn’t super hungry so it honestly was not a big deal, but when I asked the FA in first, he said meals are only served on flights departing a hub with catering and that the cold sandwiches are gone now. I asked where the pilots hot meals came from then, they were catered in DFW where the in bound flight originated.

ORD to LAX, 6:35 departure.
Very disappointed with this "dinner." The only thing hot about it was the lukewarm nuts.The choices were cobb salad or shrimp salad. A salad for your main? Really? Everything was edible, but not the meal I was expecting on a 4hr flight.
Cheese plate for dessert
Orzo salad (unseasoned), cobb salad (how bad can this be), and a cheesecake (dry, but tasty).

SAN to PHL Fl 433 2/27/22
PDB served and also asked if wanted refill. Meal was choice of chicken breast with potatoes or mac and cheese, both with caprese salad and garden salad. Desert: Hagen Daz Ice Cream. Multiple meal time beverage services. Great service by FA Valerie, good meal. Snack basket one hour prior to arrival as well. Meal and service back to pre-pandemic level or better.

I was on that flight as well. Had the chicken for the main course and the cheese plate for dessert. Missed the lecture, maybe next time!

I realize these are international, but they're more "domestic" for catering. Anyone know what I'll get in J:
- MEX-MIA (4:20pm): 3h10m
- MIA-SXM (10:30am): 2h56m
- SXM-MIA (3:27pm): 3h31m
- MIA-MEX (9:25pm): 3h50m

Status of pre-ordering?
Am I right that ine can still only pre-order meals in international C/F and on the premium transcon flights (eg JFK-LAX)? I know they're bringing meals back, but I cannot see any sign of pre-ordering in my reservations (such as LAX-CLT or DFW-LAX in F).
Does anyone have a sense of if/when we will be able to pre-order again like in 2019?
