Hmmm - just got this, too.
I wonder if the new menu will become the options in C or F, as well . . .
Wow! And (one) better beer, too! I wonder if they'll take chits if you're sitting in Y, for the more premium booze.

It's interesting that the email we got was somewhat different (unless you were just paraphrasing). And when will they start stocking tequila?

This appears to actually be a postive "enhancement".

Woohoo! So is it safe to assume complimentary Glenlivet and Makers Mark in domestic F and C?

I'm flying SFO-ORD with the family in Y later this week.
Not sure I'd spend $8 for a Modelo, but will definitely try the lunch offerings and report back.

The sandwiches/salads will probably stay at 9$.
I don't see anything really new here.
It looks to be the same meals, only with some PR and Marketing.

The pdf linked to after the link above has them all. Having just closed it, I am not sure. There was at least one meal on there at $9.. I think premium drinks were $6.
The way the subject of my email was worded, I was confused.
"Exciting news regarding your flight"
Well, I DO have east-coast to SFO flights coming up rather soon. But out of BOS...

Wow, a positive change. ^^
I wonder if they're handing out menus on the specific flights? I assume they'll include all this new information for the June Hemispheres.

Yay for Makers Mark. This sure beats the snackboxes for only slightly more money.
