JFK-SFO
A321 Flagship First
Dinner flight
Choice of 1 starter, and either soup or salad, not both.
Wine list:
The cocktail snacks, with the Gruner Veltliner:
Here's the tuna appetizer, with the salad. Noted that the special dressing was not offered. There was a bread service of sourdough, wheat, or pretzel rolls.
Sea bass entree - there was no soy glaze on the dish, which made the fish really dry.
The purser only offered the sundae, as she "sold out" of the cheese plate, and I did not recall seeing any cake coming out of the galley.
The purser then set up self-service wine station, and stated that she ran out of wine when the bottles were emptied, 2 hours prior to the flight. There was no pre-landing drink service - only cookies. This was mentioned in the separate thread on how Transcon F service has been going down.

And since when did we have to choose between salad or soup on F?
Pretty bad.

Excellent detailed report, PTahCha.
Would be interesting to hear AA Customer Relations response if you emailed them about having to choose between soup or salad.
I've had a couple of long-time AA Flight Attendants tell me the unique premium desserts (like this ginger toffee cake) go straight to the cockpit.

AA #592 BOS-PHX 6/27/22. Warm nuts, hot towels, snack basket, & dessert was choice of cheese/cracker plate, lemon tart, or made to order sundae. As far as the lunch goes, the shrimp appetizer was the best part, which I actually cut up & put on the 'salad' (which was literally nothing more than a plate of mixed greens & that red pepper). The chicken in this piccata was very tender but the dish itself very bland. There was also a bread basket passed, though unsalted butter on the tray for it.

Flew back from ORD to LAX this afternoon on AA 1375. The flight operated about half an hour late on both departure and arrival. For lunch I had preselected the beef dish with mashed potatoes. The beef was a tad on the dry side, but it was flavored well and served with enough gravy to compensate for the dryness. I was pretty full after eating the beef and potatoes, so I passed on dessert. All things considered; it was another pleasant flight on AA.

Is there an option to purchase meals in the LAX - OGG flight? We are flying Dallas - LAX - OGG tomorrow and our outbound flight from Dallas is at 7 AM with a 35 min connection at LAX. I do not think I will have time to go grab a sandwich for the 5.5 hours flight to Maui.
Will there be any food for purchase on the flight? I am worried there will not be any options to purchase in DFW at 6 AM either other than the 7-Eleven. TIA

So yes, you'll need to buy food somewhere, or bring your own.

Yes, and my flight from DFW-PHL on 26Jun had neither option catered. Nothing but the little bag of pretzels.
