Drink: Chateau Chauvin Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Comments: American B767 two class service to Paris (no first...Just economy and business). Really good dinner. The only item I wasn't so hot on was the cheese antipasto: Buffalo mozzarella balls and tiny pear tomatoes in olive oil and minimal herbs...Not too flavorful...But then again, I don't usually like that stuff, anyway. Got it instead of the warm mixed nuts. Great salad, including zucchini, peppers, and mushrooms. Everything else was very tasty, and I didn't leave anything on the plate.

Comments: I've learned from experiance, never order the chicken salad sandwich. So instead I had this bland turkey wrap stuffed with turkey, corn and peppers (who thought that up?). The pasta shells that came with it were good though and the crackers, cheese and cookies made for ok sides. I wish there'd been mustard or mayo or something to give the wrap some taste.

The usual sides of Carrs crackers, Cheddar Cheese and Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies were present.

Comments: Chicken was pretty good, steak was way overcooked but had potential if it was cooked properly. Small salad and appetizer, but it needs to fit on the same tray, and it's not so much that you're stuffed and can't fall asleep afterward.

An airline hot meal on a long haul flight is almost as delicious as a dinner at home.
Drink: Red Wine.
Comments: Good tasty wine, there is a choice between beer, red or white wine but it is at the passenger's charge. Non alcoholic beverages, however, are free of charge. There is always plenty to choose from on a long haul flight.

I remember the same style/stitching 17 years ago in 1988. AA needs a new livery to match their impressive service standard.

Comments: The diner was very good and tasty. Beef was hot and tender, salad fresh and crisp, roll was cool and a little dry, but good. The cake was yummy. The snack was a pretzel packet and soda. I was glad that the tray table folded in half which is a nice feature since normal tray tables can't usually fold down all the way with me. Previous flight I used my backpack as a lap tray. One nice thing about AA is that compared to my last flight to London on BA, is that AA has more legroom on the international economy than BA. Didn't take a picture of the cold breakfast/snack that they served about 90 min before landing. It was Juice, yogurt, and a croissant, and a package of raisans, nice pick me up snack for the sleep deprived.
