Looks like I saw this about a week too late to be relevant for you, but for others, I had the halibut and it is the best option on that menu, which doesn't say much. It was good, not great. Definitely avoid the beef untenderloin - reviews here and from people I know have consistently said it was extremely overcooked and terrible. Big decline in quality in the last year.

Two D1 flights last week. Got the email to pre-select the meal on both.
First was the dinner flight DCA-LAX. FA told me they had five pre orders, although I didn’t hear her deny anyone their choice when they ordered on board. Return flight LAX-DCA I pre-ordered, but the FA let me change on board. She said my original choice wasn’t as good as they made it sounded on the menu and offered to let me change. It helped that it was the same awesome FA from my outbound flight earlier in the week.

they always cook the beef un-tenderloin to the consistency of a hockey puck. I like my steaks rare and consider it an abomination.

So when should we expect the email to select the meal? I have a D1 flight on 9/21 and it was booked about 2 weeks ago. Thanks.

You should get the email about 2-3 days out from the flight and you have up until 24 hours from your flight to make your selection.
