In the before-times you could call/chat and an agent could enter the selection for you. Don't know if that's still the case (and even if they still have the capability, the current crop of CS may not be knowledgeable/willing...)

I hope this helps!

In the past, I've had good luck with calling DL to select my main course. However, I'd rather first see all the detailed descriptions of various choices and not just pick beef vs fish.

Yeah, I tried this ... they only knew about requesting a special meal (e.g. kosher, lacto-ovo,etc).

On my most recent trip, I had to find the meal selection link myself on the app or website. I didn't get the invitation to pick a main course email as I had in the past.

It also surprised me that I still had the link to change my selection as departure approached, well after T-24. It didn't work that way previously.

Unexpected Y meal STL-SLC on 6/20 (previous trips I feel like this route was just the snack basket). Choice of two cold meals: italian sandwich and curry chicken salad (pictured). The chicken salad was really good, paired well with the crackers. I hate arugula, so that all got left aside, but the fruit was good.

Asked for a Tip Top Old Fashioned, which is what I usually do - FA brought me a Bee's Knees instead, which I was didn't know was an option! I think I still prefer the Old Fashioned, though.




Does anyone know the brand of those little bags of graham crackers in the snack basket? They've kinda grown on me...

Where did you find the link? I've looked on both the app & website, but am not seeing it...

Given that the mask mandate has been gone for nearly 6 weeks, I do wonder how long we will continue seeing these boxes that state masks are required & to put them on after finishing the meal?

I'm not sure now. I had been looking first for the email and then for the link. I was able to order my meals about 48 hours before departure.

I've been receiving an email invitation 7 days pretty much to the minute prior to departure for the past 3 published meal flights.

Yes, I know, but it begs the question-how big is their supply that they haven't run out yet?

I don't disagree; more said jokingly than anything else.

Wow, I had no idea they even offered that. I am a big fan of gin and lemons and have been impressed so far with Tip Top so will definitely be asking for this the next time I fly. Thanks for sharing!
