MEX-MIA lunch mezzaluna pasta with sun dried tomato filling and mushroom sauce. Not pretty but very good. Bread warmed (two types). Normal ex-MEX corn cake dessert. Hot nuts before (and ramekins are back ex-MEX.) Great service too.

ORD-SMF, mid-July, leaving around 8:30pm, shows F coded as "Dinner". Doing a mock-booking shows a choice between chicken and pasta. I'm surprised, thought all post-8pm flights got snack service only? Would I also expect to get ice cream as dessert on that flight? Are there any distinctions between 6/7pm and post-8pm dinner flights?
Toying with the idea of buying up to F for that segment. Thanks for the input!

This ambiguity is a bit frustrating, not gonna lie.

That said, like keyw mentioned, people have been reporting meals served up to 9pm now, and the data in the schedule would likely have been corrected by now if it was off. If I were in your shoes, I'd book it. I'd also keep a screen shot of it showing the dinner service and your specific meal selection just in case you need to write in for compensation though, even though I expect it won't be an issue.

Question: On the Flagship transcons in F (JFK-LAX in my case) are lunch and dinner service standards different? The menus were slightly different. Dinner was three full meal hot choices. Lunch replaced one with a grain bowl (not sure if that’s hot) but I’m wondering if dinner has a different plating experience and/or an extra course (i.e soup.) They’re both still using the offensive tray for salad/app?

What's with all the broccoli salad dish at the moment? Doesn't look very appealing to me (though I guess no worse than the sad iceberg plus whatever)

Btw, if leaving from JFK get the Asian Veg. Dont do it leaving from LAX, it was so bad. JFK was good 2 x now during Covid. The app was actually something Indian (chana, it was cool and refreshing). The dessert was really good galub jamun. Out of LA neither the app nor dessert were Asian/Indian.
Offensive tray yes, at least in May on my last LAX/JFK flight.
