These cats would have loved to have taken your upgrade...
And I have to admit I get excited when it's the cheeseburger. Don't know why but I really like them.

The OP is whining just like Hank Paulson.
I remember once flying on a reward ticket in F on DL on a 1,537 mile flight after they stopped serving meals on flights over 1,540 miles.
Reminded me of back when CO stopped serving meals on flights over 2:30 flight time. Funny how many 2:29 flights there were.
Just gimmie lots of money and I'll be happy.

no meal
What are the rules for which flights have meals and which dont?
I was on a flt from cle-las, 4+ hours and the food in F was a snack plate consisting of a bowl of fruit, a few slice of lunch meat, cheese cubes and a few baby carrots. (I think there was supposed to be shrimp, but they were missing! LOL!) (that was a joke)

Now I guess I shouldn't complain too much because I was on an elite upgrade and I am a only a petty silver-elite, but I really think a FC meal can be a little better than a microwave cheeseburger. The fruit plate was nice, and the soup was good, but the burger bun was soggy-wet!
I flew 3 segments and all three were upgraded, and the FA's were outstanding... thanks CO, but I think a FC meal can be better than a Seven-Eleven microwave cheeseburger. ;-)
I'm not really mad about it, but I would be if I had paid for FC.

It really just depends on your flight attendant. Most flight attendants don't have a culinary background and just set every meal on the same over, and then it's done cooking well before they're ready to serve it,. The soggy comes from the burger sitting there in the oven under the foil for 10 minutes while the pre-meal beverages/snacks are being done.
I served some amazing cheeseburgers in F last week. I was stoked because we even had

But CO does have the best breakfast.
On US you never get a meal, but you can get a lot of those chips.
Meals on DL are rare, and they only have those fake Sun Chips, and not the real ones like US.

I think you shouldnt be complaining if you got an upgrade..be happy they had any food..you could have kept your seat in coach and had a turkey sandwich..Think about the people today who will not eat because they are not lucky enough to have food..Starving people all over the world and you complain about what you got?..

After spending thousands of $$$$'s on this quickly-falling-into-cr@ppy-amenties airline, I should not complain?
Or maybe Larry could donate his annual budget for calculator batteries to the starving people, and hunger would be wiped from the face of the earth!

They do not adhere to much on EWR-florida routes.

It was back in the Cal-Lite days, about 1994, that Continental cut meals on flights under 2:30. I think that it was the result of the customer response to that cost-cuting that caused CO to become today's meals-at-mealtime airline.
