Cora's Breakfast On Your Next WestJet Flight

Thoughts, experiences? I'm not very familiar with the Cora's chain.

As good as a chain may or may not be, you're still eating reheated food prepared 4-6 hours earlier.

If that means they are installing ovens, I'm all for it! Bring it to Economy, for a charge!

They're going to try to do eggs bennie? I don't eat at Cora's if I can help it (kinda frou-frou IMO), but I can't imagine any hollandaise working in an in-flight meal. If it's good, it won't hold; if it holds, it won't be good.

Now that has to be a runner up for the quote of the year especially: If it's good, it won't hold; if it holds, it won't be good.
Excellent!!!

I've always found Cora's to be rather unsatisfying. Fruit and whipped cream doesn't fill me.

But I suppose it would still be better than AC's banana bread ;)

I don't mind Cora's and never found it too frou-frou but this has to be an upgrade on what was offered before so will give it a tentative thumbs up and look for it on an upcoming flight.

I'm not crazy about Cora's but it is acceptable. Really, any restaurant should be able to put together a decent breakfast.

I don't really like this partnership though. Restaurant quality/standards don't translate well into to-go or airline catering. They are two completely different beasts. What does a restaurant know about making prepared meals that will be reheated on a plane? Has a restaurant ever succeeded in this type of partnership? Westjet already tried something similar with Chopped Leaf which should have had more success as they are in the business of catering/prepared meals and it was a failure.

It can work the other way round. If you come to Whitehorse, you will find certain Air North snacks for purchase at the local Independent supermarket.

The catch is no breakfast, Cora or otherwise, for flights under 3 hours, even if you are in Premium seats.

Maybe an airline should partner with Eastside Mario's. Their food has always been airline quality, just a baby-step above a Michelina. Branding opportunity?

I did a YVR-YYC (so 1 1/2 hour) in the front cabin. Old style seats so I assume no oven. Breakfast was a try with yogurt, chopped fruit and I don't remember the other little dish, I think chease maybe. There was part of hard boiled egg.

It was all quite good, very nice presentation, the only item I would object to was the egg. I don't like eggs on their own, they can be tolerated when inside an Air Canada omelet.
