. He made my bed no problem no issue at all. It was only my 2nd ever AA international flight as I try to avoid but on the first one the lady working my side of F laughed when I asked her to make the bed. But not Mike.
It was a really enjoyable flight and Mike was wonderful. Felt bad for him as he had to work the entire F cabin not just half the cabin. Also, when done he then had to go help in J, leaving just one FA upfront to come do refills and clean up. Really bad how AA is reducing FA's in premium cabins these days.

I’m going to be doing a good amount of AC J travel over the next two months to burn these e-upgrades and I was pleasantly surprised on my flight last week. Seat was great, service was on point and the food was good. Fell somewhere between AA J and F. We’ll see how the upcoming flights pan out to see if it was a one-off.

Does anyone have a recent list of Whiskies/Bourbons? I heard a rumour that AA was now serving Glenlivet 15 in J?

They’d have to pay me to drink Dewar’s White Label. It really doesn’t belong in the same list as the Glenlivet…

If I order Hindu am 100% guaranteed its vegetarian? I want something "Indian" so while some Asian Veg's lean Indian obviously a Hindu meal would be much better for the type of food I want but can a Hindu meal include lamb or never on AA?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It's AA - so there can be no guarantees! That being said, FWIW, all the Hindu meals I've pre-ordered on AA over the years have been vegetarian. In fact, some where even labeled as Asian Vegetarian and I think AA still uses the exact same meals for both pre-order meal types.

Flying LHR-SFO in a couple of weeks on AA 135 in F. A very very rare trip on AA for me. My choices appear to be:
Also, if I went for the Hindu meal instead - does that come with the regular starters and dessert, or is it a self-contained meal? I saw st530 's post for DFW-LHR which suggests it's just the main plate that's distinct, but worth confirming. I'm also thinking it might be much better out of LHR than DFW, but you never know. What's policy on asking for a regular meal if the special one is a disaster?
Wondering if just eat in the CX lounge is actually the way to go here!!
- Asian-style Beef Cheeks (soy chili glaze, sugar snap peas, rice)
- Braised Chicken Leg (red wine sauce, truffled spelt)
- Seared Sea Bream (salsa verde, potato mash, Jerusalem artichokes)
- Gnocchi Primavera (nut-free pesto, fresh vegetables)

That has been my experience. Often the HNML and AVML are the same exact meal. In fact, I've been served an HNML labeled with a different passenger's seat number when I had ordered the AVML, because they were identical. If you don't eat meat I don't see why you'd take the risk of ordering the Hindu meal. At best, it's the same as the Asian Vegetarian. At worst, it might contain chicken.

Folks, does anyone have a pic to share of the Kosher meals in international Premium Economy? Are they the same as domestic first class KSML?
