(I guess the caveat here is if you order a special meal, in which case you can order in advance.)

Anyways, going into June flight with a positive mindset. Maybe what I get will be delicious.

Wondering if anyone has had the Hindu meal. Love Indian food and it sounds great. Just dont eat red meat so worried if 1 of the 3 things is Lamb. However, I guess I can see the June menu soon when it comes up and know what I would be getting.

However, I'm surprised you didnt like their service as the FA's I have had all 3 x in Mint were really good. However, AA FA's on the A321T in F are always great in my experiences.
The plane menu or low calorie I wouldnt expect too much from. I am considering pre ordering but looking at Hindu. It looks really good actually..

A few tips!
- If you don't like the warm fruit on gelato, just ask to have it left off. The FAs add that to order (I always get it on the side because sometimes it is just too sweet).
- You can always order a cheese plate - they have 2 different versions available for purchase in main cabin, and in Mint you can always ask for one (no charge).
- Not quite the same as a sundae with hot fudge, but you can get the cookies and crumble them up on top of the gelato (and I often bring sprinkles and nuts wtih me too!)

Thanks for the tips I just always leave the Mint flights still super hungry. Thats my biggest gripe. Feels like less food than on AA.

I’m not sure if this is still the case, but they used to cater 16 plates of every option in Mint so that no one would ever not get their choice. Leftovers become crew meals.
Doing the math; 16 plates each of 5 options is 80 plates. 3 plates each for 16 passengers is 48 plates, leaving 32 plates for 4 flight attendants and 2 pilots (and whoever is jumpseating, they feed them too due to the surplus of food). They might say no, but if you’re still hungry, you can try asking for seconds.

Hows the bread been of late? For some reason I dont remember getting any bread or maybe it just wasnt the best bread. Havent flown Mint since early 2019 though.

I love the sundae!! and a cheese plate after it. And the eating all at once on B6 I dont care for. I also find it not as much food overall and I feel hungry still. And the food I have had was not as good as everyone makes it out to bee. Also their bread also isnt as good as the pretzel roll on AA.

And thats just food stuff.......No lounge & far less of a hard product (the seat on AA is so much better, especially on their 789.. as is the AA IFE, on the 789). I found a great deal on mint for $499 so i grabbed it. Def dont seek it out ever but hoping for a good experience this time. The space in the solo seat and the door are very nice. The actual seat is possibly my biggest issue though b/c you cant recline really. It just gets low and shoots out in front. I love the B/E Super diamond or even the 77W J on AA how they recline comfortably.

Does Mint have either cappuccinos and/or expresso?

when I used to fly Mint regularly (and we got real food from S+P!), they had 12-14 of each dish. On the Shuteye flights they had 12 meals and that was it! If you didn't snooze,you lost.-J.
