I flew BCN-EWR on June 13th and overall was pretty impressed by the service vs. Polaris flights I'd taken in the last few months (DEN-MUC, EWR-FRA, GIG-IAH). Purser did personal introductions to all 38 passengers, FAs very attentive/warm and clearly happy to be there. PDB offered (seconds if a passenger finished theirs too early). Meal choices taken (presumably) based on status (and for the first time I wasn't asked what my second choice would be, so presumably there aren't too many status flyers on this route - possibly because J is filled with many going on cruises). The options were short rib, chicken, halibut & vegetarian. I chose the chicken.
The meal service started with beverage service (generous pour) and hot nuts. Then the meal came out all on one tray. The raisin/grape/nut salad was sizable, quite tasty. The chicken wasn't bad (slightly bland though the texture was fine) and a generous size. Warm bread rolls offered twice. Desert was cheese plate, some kind of raspberry cake, and a third option which sounded elaborate but ended up only being chocolate ice cream. FA came around to top up champagne several times. In the galley mid-flight they had some potato chips and a couple of little bowls of nuts left. There may have been more in the top galley (on a 764 there's no reason to go up there as the lavatories are behind the J cabin). Maybe my expectations are low nowadays, but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience overall. Much better than my previous few Polaris flights (in Feb, March and May). https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b9bc3c7396.jpg Initial beverage service https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5250f0933a.jpg Chicen option.

Just about as substantial - definitely felt like a lot more than a "quick snack", though I guess they call it that to manage expectations.

??? If there were only two choices, and you state your first choice, why would there be a need to specify the other one as second choice?

not correct. guess again. ;)

Having restarted international flying, and on my recent CDG-IAD AF Affaires flight having just had the best food I have ever had on a plane (and good service, too), I am not looking forward to doing Polaris again any time soon.

Any ice cream yet ex-NRT, or still the terrible packaged brownie?

Does this mean that PE catering is mostly the same as Polaris on TATL flights, or does it depend on the routes?
On westbound flights from Europe, 2/4 choices in J are available in PE. |
