6/23 SEA - LAX 6:05 departure
Scrambled eggs with cheese, asparagus, and tomato. There was also some sort of hash (?) but I didn't quite catch how the FA described it. Not a bad small breakfast, tasted ok to me but then it had been my first meal in about 12 hours, so I guess even airline food tastes good then!

6/19 LAS-SEA 910a departure: scrambled eggs with that grey looking hash thing.
6/20 PDX-LAX 4p departure: chicken breast, salad and lemon drop chocolate. Not a bad spread for a 2 hour flight.

By Row 3 the only thing left was the Cod. Yeah, I saw it on the menu and knew that it was trouble. It was. Just nasty. Reconsider this one AS!

6/26 #404 PDX-SJC
Chicken skewer on a bed of spinach and a couple of cucumber slices.
I didn't eat it but it looked sad. The chicken was cold and there were about 5-6 spinach leaves on the plate.
My neighbor said it was not good.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Sesame Teriyaki Sauce

Had the same thing on SEA-ANC yesterday. Served on a small dish with no tray. Really, for a 3 hour flight at dinner time, it was very disappointing.

Alaska never serves this on SEA-ANC at dinner time. Ever. If this is what you had then it wasn't dinner time or there was a catering mistake.

6/30/12 AS150 ANC-LAX: Cheese plate. Larger-than-normal slice of gouda.
On a flight of this length (5h3m--as long as a transcon), especially arriving in LAX in the morning with things to do during the day, it would really be nice to have a hot towel service upon arrival. Getting off the plane feeling like you've just rolled out of bed is a bit gross. Any idea why hot towel service isn't provided here? What's the official standard for when hot towel service is provided? It can't be length of flight, because ANC-LAX is longer than SEA-DCA, LAX-DCA, and SEA-ATL (all of which do receive the hot towel service--well, not sure about the last one, but the first two do).

I'm headed to IAH this week (outbound Thursday, return Sunday) in F both ways. Anybody have a recent mid-con update?
I already know what to expect on the ANC-SEA-ANC portions, but it would be nice to know if I need to make a Pappadeaux's run before getting on 731 to come home.

AS 730, SEA-IAH: Roast beef sandwich smothered in cheddar cheese, two small tomato slices on the side, and cold/seasoned freeze-dried potatoes, with the ubitiquous Seattle Chocolate for dessert. Warmed nuts followed about an hour later.

AS 120 ANC-SEA, the usual scrambled eggs and sausage but with a very large slice of what I would describe as apple strudel with walnuts. The usual pineapple piece, orange slice and strawberry.
Moist eggs, hot sausage and apple pie with fruit. EXCELLENT especially since I enjoyed due to an on plane upgrade.^

8/14 ANC-PDX morning flight. Vegetable quiche with warm tomato slice and two asparagus spears on top. Two pieces of pineapple, one strawberry, one slice of orange. No meat of any sort.
Quiche was completely tasteless, even with the entire salt & pepper package.
