Route: LHR-ORD, 5 May 2004
Ticket Price: Too Much
Flight duration: 8 hours
Aircraft type & class: Boeing 777-200 J Classs (Business)
Business or leisure trip: Leisure trip
Meal Type: Breakfast
OJ, Small plate for fresh fruit, Scone (way too dry and tasteless and why no clotted cream.. this was London we just departed from?), Yogurt (from a container...they never heard of a bowl in business class?), Omelette with Gruyere cheese (was very rubbery) served with smoked trout (WAS GREAT) and Potato Cakes (had a strange taste to them). The other selections were Cinnamon French Toast or Pork Tenderloin.
Drink: Booze for those who need it at 8am , I had lots of water and OJ.
Comments: The flight crew was great, the new business class seating is much better than before, you now have leg room as before it was like being in coach.
Rating 1-10 ( worst-best): 8 The clotted cream and a scone with taste would have been nice. Also, this was a flight from London and the only tea AA has is from a plain tea bag.....come on AA...try to serve some British Tea on your London flights.

Contents of the meal: Pita wrap with fresh veggies, pretzels, and crackers
Drink: Cranberry apple cocktail
Comments: I was quite surprised at the high quality of this meal. The
pita wrap was fresh and very tasty. The pretzels were quite interesting:
they came in the shape of hearts. This meal was certainly far better (and healthier) than the regular meat/cheese sandwiches and, again, I was greatly surprised at AA for the high quality.

better than the regular meals. The salad was not fresh and barely had
anything besides lettuce, the main course was very bland and had no taste whatsoever, while the fruit was okay-ish.
