Just wanted to report that our recent r/t SEA-AMS the pre-order worked perfectly for my spouse and I. I do wish they would include the pre-arrival meal with this, or, alternately, allow one to order a special meal for the pre-arrival but choose the main meal.

Because the special meals tend to be SO SO AWFUL, the pre-ordering allows those of us who are dairy vegetarian or pescatarian or have other restrictions to choose something from the main menu if it meets our needs and not have to order something that is likely to inedible from the special meal menu. However, we are then often stuck with a pre-arrival meal that does not meet our needs. It seems like they should be able to do this just as easily.

TATL D1 menus are currently on a 3 month rotating cycle; the current Spring menu started in March 2019, so the summer menu won't start till June.

Will find out next month, last year there was also the 'spring menu' but there was a 4/18 and 5/18 'spring menu' with slightly different options

Reporting on AMS-BOS from a few weeks ago, the Cuban sandwich from the "Almost There" selections is excellent.

Also, on the special meals, my wife had pre-ordered the non-dairy vegetarian for both TATL segments. For the segment to Europe (we flew DTW-LHR), everything was perfect. For the return (AMS-BOS), the catering company seemed to group all vegetarian dishes as the same "Asian Vegetarian" selection, and my wife was not happy. Thankfully, one FA was very sympathetic and was able to get a spare pasta meal from coach for her.

Was curious if someone could answer this question. I am currently booked on a ATL-LAS flight on a paid F ticket. I am booked on an early morning flight but plan to SDC to a later flight. If I SDC and the flight I am going to take is more than 24 hours prior to my departure time will I be able to call and pre-select a meal?

I still wonder what my Diabetic Dinner in F will be Atlanta--San Jose, CA?

I would say no. Once you change your flight you only have the options that are catered on board. I think the consensus is if you select your meal when the 72 hour email arrives for your original flight you are stuck with what is catered on your changed itinerary. I could be wrong but from what I have seen of this very slow and poor implementation I would tend to lean toward the negative. Some one please correct me if I am thinking wrong on this..

There is no way to know in advance what you will be served for a special meal. You can look back and find examples, but you won't know until (and if!) it is served to you.

I have noticed that they now, on domestic flights, seem to be offering two meat options instead of one meat and one vegetarian (pasta) dish. This is disappointing considering how extremely bad the special vegetarian meals are.

Got it T-72 for EDI-JFK D1. Chicken/Beef/Seafood/Pasta options.

Got the pre-order email for my lunch EWR-ATL segment with two new (to me) entrees.

1)Grilled Chicken, Vegetables and Halloumi cheese kebobs.

2) Charcuterie Plate

Any insight? I choose the kebobs because I generally like a hot meal.

I wonder if the charcuterie plate will be similar to the deli meat plate that has been around for awhile and they just gave it a fancier name.
