LXA350

Well fly C on the TLV route; that's probably the route the crew's are the least motivated. Service is very fast and hectic in order that the crew will have enough time to take a nap on the empty F seats which are not used as there is no F service to TLV.

When the menus for TATL flights in December will be released?

Here are pictures of the food on the LX SFO-ZHR flight October 2011


Gin Tonic and Menu Card


Appetizer: Fresh Salmon and Lobster Cocktail


Mixed Greens with Goat Cheese


Fillet Mignon with thyme, veggies and potatoes. It was to the spot medium and very tender.


The vegetarian choice. Ravioli with ricotta cheese and pumpkin in a Gorgonzola sauce. Was a nice addition to the fillet mignon

Looks yummy. How about the C December menus?

NewbieRunner

Since it is not their policy to publish menus as confirmed by the official lurker you will not find out until sometime in December when someone posts the December-February menu.

Thanks Newbierunner. I was not aware of that!

Just did YUL-ZRH in F and must say was completely underwhelmed by the choices and quality of the dinner.

A dried shrimp on top of crab + mayonnaise with corn as a side was one of the starters.

For some reason they tend to have a very boring menu out of Canada!

The plating was not done as well as is usually done - forgot garnishes, sauces.

The meal looked and tasted more like something from business class.

I also am not a fan of their new plates for the starters and dessert - the long rectangle plates look cheap and are awkward. Their old service items were much more classy.

I am to the point of preferring LH over LX now when it comes to the meals.

After having flown LX C i thought the quality was good but was disappointed by the single trey setup and entire meal being served all at once on a longhaul.

Salad was really small for being the only starter.

However, it was a good expierence overall.

I was disappointed with the salmon. The taste was fine, but the tartar just did not work for me; just a mush of fish. (Food texture is very important to me.)

I had the sea bass with lentil stew and carrots, all of which were excellent. Didn't care for the hoisin sauce as I did not think it added anything.

People near me had the beef and the pumpkin ratatouille with tagliatelle. The beef looked over cooked (from a distance, though); the ratatouille looked disgusting.

Mid-flight ice cream cones are a great feature.

Totally do not remember the meal before landing.

One other thing: Does Swiss take meal choices by status? The attendants appeared hopping around the cabin asking people what they wanted. I got my first choice (*Gold, if it matters), but two people near me appeared to have not.

that ZRH -LAX menu was in C

wow

That was in C??????????


my C menu didn't have any first course. could have been it was a lighter meal because it was a late flight

MichielR

They sometimes do, to avoid disappointing status pax. Sometimes they don't, sticking to their usual pattern of starting to take orders from row 4 down to 15.

We'll be flying JFK-GVA in C, so it's a 7.35pm departure. Is this an abbreviated, 'supper' style service, or a more elaborate full meal? And what are the in lounge dining options like? I've been to that lounge before when travelling in Y, and I remember some decent food choices (including hot food) but can't remember if there's also a restaurant/cafeteria style section with a separate menu for those travelling in C?

TWAB747nomore

It might be a supper style service on a single trey.

I flew on LX 15 a couple weeks ago and the entire meal was served on a single trey. In addition, no starter was included. The meal was salad main and dessert.
