Your experience was essentially what I received on yesterday’s LAX-BOS afternoon flight. Fully catered with the two blankets, F amenity kit vs. the small one, espresso and glassware, and phenomenal service. I’ve been fortunate to have top-notch crews on almost all of my recent Tcon and non flagship flights.
We went out 7 /10 (was 3 / 10 beginning of day so a few folks may have been rolled up as economy was sold out, business looked full and the lists were empty)
The only thing missing was a surprise birthday cake
Now if only they’d open FFD in LAX.

Btw, the wine & bubbles are same in J & F still, that hasnt changed back to how it was before Covid?

Lanson is champagne right? I didnt see it listed on the menu. The first drink you posted was PDB, thats the Lanson? Whats the next thing you're drinking in the more flute style glass, also champagne?

Pre-Orders Have Returned
Based on previous posts that said April 13 (today) pre-orders have returned, I checked my flight for Friday and sure enough I was able to pre-order. Choices were chicken picata or gemelli pasta. Glad to see we are finally at this stage.

I continue to be confused about catering. Per my post above, MEX-DFW (900 miles) lunch yesterday was full three course hot meal. The return dinner flight today was cheese plate or salad. I can only think the flight yesterday was a MEX catering mistake.
That said, the salad was great. The chicken was fresh and nicely spiced. Hot nuts served prior with drink. Hummus was a little runny.
Oddly FA served it covered in cellophane. I guess she thinks people like that. She also made 100 mask announcements, so I guess she was one of those. Otherwise good service.

I think they're Biquinho peppers... I do love that AA has used them to garnish several items the past few years -- they're delish.

Other choice was a fruit and cheese plate.
The joke of the “free” Wi-Fi cut out early…so here ya go. Salad was good. Cake was choke worthy and beyond dry.

My LAX-DFW pre order for Friday is now a thing. I can pre order.. Thats kind of cool to have it back. Just a meat plate or a pretzel coissant w/ hummus & spinach. Went with the latter as I dont eat meat and it actually sounds good.
Are special meals not back yet on anything except the Transcon (minus Miami)? Or does this route just not qualify for Pre order as its under 1500? I thought i just read special meals can be ordered now on any route offering a meal but that may have been a United thing not AA.

Received a last minute op-up to first on JFKSFO this week and saw both lists. Champers on offer in both cabins (Collet Brut in biz, H. Blin in first)

That said, recently it seems like they are stocking with whatever is available (e.g. Lanson and Charles de Cazanove in the last week in tcon F) given general shortages.

Whilst I do like some of these menus - I am surprised that the soup is not served in mugs rather than on plates. Is it meant to be hot or are they meant to be cold like Vichyssoise? Putting it in a dish like that will let it go cold in no time.
