Wish LA was a 789 but still nice to have a Dreamliner & lie flats for 3 hours. Looking at Row 1 in the middle so that i have larger bulkhead and no one passing over me/no on to pass over.
789 is reserved for their long haul flights to MAD and EZE if I recall. JFK and LAX can command decent fares, but can also be very cheap in J ($1000 r/t.) The cheapest I've seen MAD is more than double that, and that's rare. EZE is often more.

I haven't done row 1 middle, but I've done row 5 middle (bulkhead of the mini cabin), and I hated it. It felt very exposed, and there was no curtain. It felt much less premium than other seats. Just one man's opinion.

Either way, it's a very decent product for a 4/5 hour flight (LAX/JFK.)

Just dont get why LAX/MEX wouldnt get lunch at 120pm but more so how does a shorter flight from Tiajuana at 1am get a meal in Premier?
although what the other posters say might very well be true…I must say that sometimes even AM don’t know what they’re doing.

Some time ago this happened to me on MTY-MEX in premier class. I had never and since then never have had a meal on the 1 hour flight, it’s always just drinks and the snack basket.
Anyway one time I realized it said breakfast for the morning flight, just thought it was a glitch but sure enough the FA came and asked if I wanted breakfast and served me that…it was very strange and it hadn’t happened again since that one time, but yes it’s random and can definitely happen

This seems more substantial than recent offerings. Nicely done. I'll be on this route in 6 weeks and will report back. AA through DFW this week back to MEX.

Nice choices. I've always had good luck with AM pasta. IIRC, the beefs can be fatty, so if that's your thing, you might like it. I don't.

Can anyone tell me what is served on MEX-ACA in Premier? Flight is scheduled over 1hr but actual flying time is obviously under. Assume its beverages only but is it a full bar? Can we get tequila / wine?

I've had that Premier pasta with Rocquefort you selected for your MEX-LHR leg. Had it on a MEX-SFO. The flight attendant said it was AM's best pasta in her 33 years of service and I'd be inclined to agree

MEX-ACA you will only get drinks and peanuts / cookies. But you can totally get beer and tequila! Order them both at the same time or you won't have enough time to have them.

Nice, good to know! Was there a pre-departure drink?

AM always offers PDB cava, water or OJ or international, and almost always PDB water on domestic. Never seen anyone ask for anything else, doubt they’d provide.

PDBs are always in proper glassware.

PDB will be water or OJ, exactly. But - if you ask for tequila you might get it. Otherwise, they'll tell you they'll bring it as soon as takeoff is done.

In my limited experience (probably 40 to 50 segments),
MEX <-> USA narrowbody - Water and OJ or occasionally, only water
MEX <-> Int'l widebody - Usually Water, OJ and Bubbles. Occasionally, no Bubbles (and if asked, they'll open a bottle, or tell you no - in the air).

I expect that everything else would be in a tax-sealed cart, and can't be opened on the ground w/o issue.

Almost all my USA segments are on the Dreamliner, but the few times I've taken the 737 to JFK, the PDB options have included bubbles.
