What are the main entrees for eastbound and westbound flights (excluding DAL-LGA/DCA)?
And are there any substantive changes to the snacks?
Thanks, as always, for sharing!

SFO to ORD - just look at EB lunch/dinner
JFK to SFO - just look at WB lunch/dinner
The new menu will start on June 16 so I don't think anyone have seen how the food will look like onboard yet, except the actual catering planning team.
10am is a lunch flight. They cut off at 9:59am.
Thanks VXCabinCrew for the update!

VXCabinCrew: If you don't mind sharing, what are the menus for the Hawaii flights and the Mexico flights?
Also, I'm booked on a 'redeye' LAX-CUN flight departing LAX at 11:05pm on a Saturday. Do you know if this flight is like the normal trans-con redeyes in that it has a limited meal? Or does it have the normal (full) Mexico eastbound meal?
Thanks again for sharing this — I really appreciate it!

Just an update. The warm nuts made an appearance yesterday on these flights.....decided an email to catering was in order because now I don't know what's going on 🤔

I recently flew DAL-LAX. No predeparture beverage for F (the crew was busy talking and laughing with the gate agent the whole time). 30 minutes into the flight, I used the call button to request a drink. ITL came from the back and told me "the service will begin soon" and then went back to the rear galley. Around 45 minutes in, food was offered: appetizer, entree, and dessert were all served together on the same tray all at once. He offered a drink and gave it to me in a can with a cup of ice. After I finished, the tray sat in front of me for ~20 minutes. ITL came to collect it, I had to proactively ask for another soft drink. ITL went to the back for the remainder of the flight.
Has the service standard changed for DAL-LAX flights, or was this a particularly bad fluke? Never experienced such "blah" service in F on VX before. I'm tempted to write Guest Services about it, but I don't want to needlessly get someone in trouble — esp. when there was nothign *bad* about the service. It just wasn't good, and didn't WOW me at all. Spectacularly mediocre.

That's awful service. Definitely contact guest services with all the info.
