4/24 HNL-GUM 777-300
An amazing Guam based crew.
Chicken Katsu and Japanese curry sauce with the always amazing guava cake and the delicious rice balls that go great with an ice cold beer.
Arrival meal was a choice of teriyaki burger or cold soba noodle salad. I ordered the burger out of curiosity, but saved my appetite for dinner at the beach.
Guam was absolutely empty. Good for those who are at the beach, but not for the many hotels, bars, and restaurants.

I don't have a sweet tooth, but that guava cake is wonderful. After a lot of traveling, sometimes I really enjoy some simple well done airplane food. I call them "Glorified Leftovers". A little hot sauce goes a long way!

I wish you were on my flight from HNL-ORD last week. I left the guava cake behind. Didn't touch it. Can't stand it. Want my ice cream back!
Nope, just the standard pasta offering out of Mexico, unfortunately. Hasn't changed in years.
Still has not been released (won't be till around 25 May), but I don't expect any surprises.

Count me as another who would gladly take it off your hands if aboard together.

I seriously may just stop paying to sit up front as there is definitely no value anymore.

For a regional aircraft, particularly one that is used on a long(er) route, I would value the more spacious seat (particularly the A seats). Even if the catering improves, not sure I would expect or pay for fine dining up front.

I haven't seen a plated cold entree meal on Express in a very long time, even before coronavirus, and even on a 3+ hr flight. Of course I certainly saw a very artistically presented and tasty cold plate meal on Swiss for a 40 minute flight, so it's not like it cannot be done.
