Correction, looking back at my records I actually traveled on the 23rd so it must only be that tight window up until Christmas day. It is a shame because I quite like the turkey and find it hard to get anything other than rib of beef in California on Christmas day.

Ah, thanks for coming back on that. I was about to email YouFirst in case the wrong menu had been loaded by mistake. Shame, as for various reasons I'm not blown away by the main courses this time so would have appreciated a turkey option too. Oh well I am sure I will get through the flight!

Very nice Turkey, sprouts and gravy in the LAX Flagship lounge last night! A good start to Thanks Giving. My first time in LAX lounge since the changes - impressed.

I have almostvthe same menu December 21 to Toronto but one extra appetizer (Wild mushroom and celeriac quiche with caramelised pear chutney)
and another dessert (Chocolate fondant with orange coulis)
I too am struggling to pick something for a main... venison is like the one meat I don’t eat ... I know this is such a trivial thing to complain about but yet here we are lol glad I’m not alone.

We are flying to Chicago on the 22nd and have the same CW menu as above with the quiche as well
However for the main course, instead of the venison stew we have:
Time for turkey, I think!

It does look like 22 December is the day on which the Christmas dinner is first served, as a LHR-SIN that day has the same as that LHR-JNB, but "A Traditional Christmas dish of Roast turkey, pigs in blankets roasted potatoes ,chestnuts sprouts with rosemary jus" replaces the venison stew, and mince pies replacing the chocolate fondant, as browa161 reports for the ORD.
I did, however, give myself a small heart attack when I tried to look up "Gnudi", but misspelt it in the search.

I went to select our meals yesterday for our F flight to SJC in 10 days time and the menu has disappeared and just the standard special meals are available. Checked again this morning and it's still the case. Is anyone else having issues?

I'm flying in F to BOS on Wednesday and have the same issue "due to a technical problem". A little disappointing given meal selection is one of the perks of flying in F/J.

I do agree about the shortage of choices. The initial fanfare around improved CW catering promised increase of choice through pre-order alongside the reduction in onboard main choices from 4 to 3. I took that to mean that there would be additional choices via pre-order that would not be available onboard. So far, only the reduction in number of choices has happened...and of course you still can't pre-order on a flight from any outstation.

LHR-KUL 23 December
Ours is almost identical to some of the 22 Dec menus except for chicken instead of venison:
I think I will go for that as it sounds pretty safe? It’s our 1st time flying BA so all suggestions are very welcome!
Also maybe not the right place to ask but my daughter aged 12 wants to order a child meal, does anyone know if this is possible or is the age restriction 11 and under?
- Stir fried chicken with red peppers, pak choi and fried garlic with steamed rice

Still no luck despite using different browsers and the app. Have called You First who also could see no menu for the flight loaded and have reported the issue to IT. Their advise was to leave it a few hours and try again...
