Sector the Sixth YVR-LAX AA J
Again, this AA flight was a bit disappointing for +1 as the service was good and he couldn't complain! The meal served was a cold box as it was an American Eagle flight on an E75. But for a cold "protein" box, it wasn't too bad. There was prosciutto, cheese, a tiny cup of fresh fruit, a tiny cup of antipasto veggie items and not enough crackers for the amount of cheese! Drinks were served in glass glasses and refills regularly offered. PDB of water or orange juice was also served. The stewardess serving the J cabin was pleasant and kind. The seat was comfortable and I got a couple of good snaps out the window. I'd love it if someone could identify these for me - my phone was in flight mode so no GPS information embedded in the photo. I wonder whether one of them is Mount Rainier?
We departed and arrived on time, and our luggage made it, so all was well with this sector!

I only wish they opted for the superior 777 over A330s and A380s (also don't get me started on the lame-arse lounge area).
I don't mind their catering, although I wish food would be presented on a tray instead of a box, although I understand the practicality and respect the waste minimisation and optimising of weight. The offerings in the J lounges and Qpub could definitely be better/more authentic to Asian flavours if the Ponytailed One is to be the culinary lead, but that's a whole different discussion...

I'm by no means an expert in this stuff, but depending how early in the flight you took these, Mt. Baker could be a possibility?

I may have missed it, but did you stay over in Vancouver or were you just connecting, staying in the airport the whole time? I've heard reports of issues with claims of Cabotage when there's an itinerary between two US cities with a "connection" outside the US.
