Route: YVR-LAX, 28 Nov 2003
Ticket price: C$335 (YVR-NYC-YVR)
Flight duration: 2h20
Aircraft: 737-400 FC / Mileage run
Meal type: Dinner
Salad with dressing, bread rool & butter, salmon with potatoes and vegetables (chicken was the other choice), dessert
Drink: White wine (unidentified but probably a weak insipid U.S. chardonnay)
Comments: My first dinner on AS. Salad was a little bit on the small side. The salmon was dry despite being coated with an unidentified coating (florentine spinach?) with sauteed onions and green beans, and potatoes cooked in an undeterminate fashion (boiled than sauted?). Dessert was a small cake you'd think was bought from a supermarket.
Meal was rather disappointing given AS's past reputation. Hot meal service on all except trans-Continental and long haul Alaska flights is rumoured to disappear soon.

Contents of the meal: Hot Nuts
Drink: double Baileys over the rocks, please.
Comments: The best nuts I’ve ever tasted. Imagine my happy surprise when I felt the bowl, and they were hot! No peanuts in this bowl, only the good stuff. They were so good, I asked for seconds. I was nuts over these hot nuts. I may even start heating up my own nuts when I’m at home, for a good way to unwind after a long day.

Flight duration: 6 Hours
Aircraft type & class: Boeing 737-700 First Class
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Dinner
Contents of the meal: Fresh Green salad w/ Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing and 2 slices fresh bread. Entree was white fish, carrots and rice. Dessert was an espresso chocolate torte.
Drink: Chardonnay with dinner. "Seattle's Best" Coffee w/ Baileys for dessert.
Comments: Basically the meal was good. Salad fresh, bread was warm and fresh. The FA first announced the entree as "salmon" but when she uncovered it, declared it to be "not salmon, but halibut." I eat a lot of halibut, and that was not halibut, but it was very good, regardless of what kind of "white fish" it was. I thought it was a nice meal and a good way to pass an hour. I am happy to see real metal silverware back!
