I received limes in coach (LAX-IAD) and business (IAD-FRA) yesterday...
but, IAD-FRA had no lemons. Seriously--the FA brought me my tea with a lime wedge in it and said something like, "close enough."

I got limes two weeks ago in F.
Can we confirm other experiences recently that we have no more limes?
As much as we like to expand one flyers' experience to 'new policy', more often than not, it's a one-off/FA miscommunication.
If they do go, then yes, it's yet another service cut that is just annoying. Vodka/club really goes well with lime.

Maybe they need to figure out ways to subsidise all the cheap P fares from yesterday. They can cut the lemons too if they offer cheap P fares to Asia, I drink the terrible beer anyway.

Shockingly, I survived the experience. But I shouldn't have to. Not for the extra $.15 it would have cost.
