The excitement is clearly building as I am now close to heading off on another trip. The menus for my upcoming flights have been released online, so now I need to make a selection.
Or not. It’s also perfectly fine for me to order on board while in the air, but I do love a pre-order. That way my choice is pretty much guaranteed, barring any unforeseen catering mishap.
Upcoming Flight Menus
American Airlines are flying me from London to Los Angeles and there are some nice options for lunch. What is interesting is that on my flight to New York in January, there were five choices on the menu. This longer sector only has four.
Overall Thoughts
With testing requirements, paperwork and general bureaucracy around flying at the moment, it’s fun to be able to enjoy the thought of the upcoming flights through the food. Selecting a meal is a pleasure, and I’ll take all the small pleasures I can these days.
I did find it strangely disappointing to be handed a menu on my American Airlines flight in January already knowing the options, not to mention my choice. Arguably, it would be more fun to find out and choose on board, but since pre-order is not particularly common, I’ll take it when I can get it.
Do you prefer to pre-order where possible on your upcoming flights or do you prefer to order on the plane? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

You’ll be eating the cost of that unplanned hotel night.
Hahaha! Could well be!
If you like salmon (I hate it but love fish) then go for that. AS knows their salmon and knows how to do it, according to the web. As for breakfast…you do you.
You would certainly expect them to know salmon at Alaska, that’s for sure! I’ll keep that in mind. I eat salmon so it would be on my radar.
We had great Miso Pork Chops 2 weeks ago on Alaska and the FA said that the Beef Brisket was really good. Had an egg dish and the fruit and cheese plate to share on the way back. The F(apples & grapes) & C also came with a bowl of cut fruit and a container of very good greek yogurt, so lots of food. All very good!
Alaska Airlines seem to do really good food on board. I had the Pho Plate last time I flew with them in January and it was delicious! There is also plenty of it, so it looks nice and generous too, as it should be in First Class. Those Miso Pork Chops sounds amazing!! I’ll have to keep an eye out for them. Thanks for that!
