There was already a response to your earlier post and there may be pre-order issues on A321neo's.

Also, option is generally only offered starting about 1 week out (how far out is your flight?) and you may have to use app to see it.

Breakfast this morning from ABQ-ATL was choice of Flight Fuel snack boxes that were for sale in Y.

flew JFK- PHX on Friday- had the breakfast frittata that was catered by union square hospitality and it was excellent- served with potatoes, a nice fruit salad and a small slice of carrot cake. Highly recommend if offered. Other options were a bagel with cream cheese and lox (seemed popular) and greek yogurt with fruit and chia seeds.

West with the roasted pork loin. A bit over seasoned but very tender and the mustard sauce made everything delicious. The salad was all toppings and little veg. Pre arrival meal was a messy cheeseburger that I ate Costanza style with a knife and fork to keep my hands clean. Salad option sold out when they got to 4J.

Great service (which seems to be the norm ex-BOS tbh) from the lead FA — full PDB, multiple drink / water runs and two passes of the snack basket so far (unfortunately only with the coach snacks)
had this yesterday on BOS-RSW -- thought it was quite tasty! also great service w/ full PDB

Nice to get some variety!
which did you go with? I have the same menu and the beef cheeks is the only menu item that sounds appetizing to me.

I'm now 2-2 with the beef cheeks. They're not as good as the short rib (IMO), but still tasty. The chocolate mousse for dessert was also quite tasty!

Which one did you select in the end? Did you take any pictures?

Pre-order from BOS hasn't worked since at least June ...

CUN-DTW lunch on Sunday 12/18
I had the beef burrito, and it was a little bland but good overall. The salad and dessert were excellent, though.

Have you only been on BOS-SFO/SEA flights operated by the 321neo? I think the problem is with those flights/planes specifically — pre-order worked fine on my BOS-MSY flight last weekend (options appeared in the app and was able to select and save and all that)

My flight is an A320neo.

Why would the aircraft make a difference for preordering food?

No pre-ordering on either one of my neo flights to/from LA this weekend either. Definitely an issue with IT and configuring pre-order for the neo.

Yah, my issues with lack of pre-ordering to/from BOS were neo flights as well ... newer plane means, uh, less technology like pre-order? Your pick: do you want the new engines or prerder?

I see that Delta no longer offers kids meals, but does anyone happen to know if they normally (or ever) offer the Impossible meatballs as part of the DTW-AMS TATL (A330-300) dinner service in D1 nowadays? My kid would eat those, but probably won’t dig any of the other offerings I’ve seen on past menus.

If I have to pack something for him in my bag ahead of time, that’s totally cool. Just trying to plan ahead.
