A new year starts, and for ease of use, we'll start a new thread in order to keep it from getting too overwhelming.
For the previous incarnation, please see here.
Also, please keep this thread limited to actual reports about the specific on-board meals you were offered on an Alaska Airlines flight. Discussion beyond a report of a specific meal belongs over in the companion thread to this one.
If you wish to reply to a particular post here, please click the "Quote" button and then copy the resulting text that appears, go over to the above-mentioned thread, and paste it into the reply box in that thread, and then you may begin composing your reply below the copied text.
The moderators will attempt to perform regular maintenance on this thread and move discussion posts over to the other thread; if you notice a post that doesn't contain a report about a specific meal on an Alaska Airlines flight, you can help us out by clicking the "Alert A Moderator To This Post" triangle and letting us know that a bit of housekeeping needs to be done. (Only one report for a series of posts is necessary--you don't need to report each post.)

I was on same flight today (3F).
You said "AS #752 PDX-ATL, - Scheduled departure 11:45 AM."
Actully 9:50 was scheduled but due to delays we got off about 10:20 and arrived basically on-time due to good tail winds.
Agree on the peach issue for dessert. Wading through 'whipped cream' trying to cut the frigging peach.

Glad it wasn't just me that thought the "Peach Pie in a Glass" dessert was a complete loser. Did you have the cod or the ravioli? I've been wondering about how the pasta dish turned out.

SEA-SAT #692 12:45pm departure
Nuts and a Mediterranean Wrap with either a cous couse or quinoa side. Was hard to tell and I didn't partake. Seattle chocolate.
No salad that I saw. The wrap was about the size of a 1/2 sandwich. Pretty weak offering for a 3:40 flight during lunch IMO.

AS 655 DFW-PDX 26 September.
No preflight beverage. The FA did take our drink request prior to takeoff.
Started with side salad. Then served ravioli with vodka sauce and spaghetti squash.
Warm cookies served immediately after. I would have preferred for the FA to have waited about an hour or so on the cookies.

I just booked this routing, using miles, for a trip 2 weeks from now, all legs in F...
SEA-LAS on AS (duration 2:17)
Unfortunately on my first class breakfast flight out of Seattle on AS I have NO IDEA what, if anything, I'll be having and forget about a choice or pre-ordering.
How is it that AA can serve meals AND offer choices in F on shorter duration flights like these and AS can't. Even a 3-1/2 hour flight from SEA to ANC on AS won't get you a choice or anything as nice as what AA is serving on these short hops.

10/11 SEA-PHX 925p departure: chicken breast marinated in something and salad. I offered mine to the FA who said it "was very good."
Glad she enjoyed it.

I had the pork and it was actually a hearty plate as far as plane sizes go. And it was actually quite tasty. I still dont understand why they keep serving the rolls with the salad. Id rather have a warm roll with the main course to eat it with the gravy or sauces. I keep it until the main course but of course by then its no longer warm

I was able to immediately go online with AA and pre-reserve ^ my CHOICE ^ of meals on each AA leg. From Vegas I will be enjoying a chicken curry wrap with chilled couscous salad instead of the lemongrass salmon with mixed greens. Then out of Dallas I chose the breast of chicken stuffed with spinach and cheese, complemented by emmental potatoes au gratin and buttered haricots verts over the sacchetti pasta with alfredo sauce and sundried tomato coulis.

Some may say that this is why AA is in bankruptcy, I'd like to think that this is their way out of it. Because if they ever came into the market that is 90% of my travel, I would status match and be all over them like white on rice.

The second flight was on AA from LAS to DFW. Lunch was warm nuts then chicken curry wrap with couscous followed up by a warm chocolate chip cookie. Pretty nice for a 2-1/2 hour flight. AND I got to preorder my meal online.
But the remarkable flight was dinner. On AA again from DFW to TPA, scheduled for 2hr 20min, actual duration was only 1hr 58min yet AA does this.... start with drinks and warm nuts, then a nice sized salad, chicken stuffed was cheese and spinach, green beans, potato cake, a warm roll and copious quantities of wine. AND they still managed to serve warm chocolate chip cookies afterwards. It was absolutely delicious. For a 2 hour flight!!!! I can't get a meal like that on a 3-1/2 SEA-ANC flight. And again, we were able to preorder our meals online.
Looking forward to flying AA F again next week back to SEA. Already ordered my meals ^
AS could learn a thing or 2 here.
