Kir Royale (Champagne and creme de casis mix -- rare for an airline offering)

Very attentive and elegant service by the flight attendants, however, the content of the meals were disappointing. All beef choices have been eliminated since the B.S.E. scare but the menu has not reflected the change. Warm rolls were offered only once as with wine. A separate appetiser and salad is not offered either. The main course, as you can see, is glorified economy class meal with nothing exciting. The Korean Bibimpop choice looked more substantial, however looked identical to economy class offering of the same choice. (see pic 32 and 42) The most annoying thing of all is that they turned on the lights and offered "dinner" 3 1/2 hours before landing, perhaps because it was about 6:30 pm LA time? I can't think of any other airline who does this. After dinner the lights are turned off again and everyone takes a nap before landing. Good thing this was not an over-night flight. Overall, I only paid full Y economy fare and got to sit in business so I shouldn't gripe so much??
