I actually went to sleep right after take off (flat bed :) ) and didn't get the first meal, so when I woke up an hour before landing, I was offered 2 meals...

And yes... besides for the Halva I handed them back full.

We got kosher l'pesach meals on United the day after Pesach from EWR to TLV, with matzah and pesach cake. We didn't eat the matzah, and when the steward came around to collect the garbage, he said "I guess you guys had enough matzah over Pesach." :)

Just took ewr-tlv UA J. i dont have pics on my compt (only phone) meal was decent. I didnt bring any food bec someone in my house thought the turkey wrap was extra in the fridge :P

Either way food was decent they served fish and salad for the first course and meat stew or chicken for the main. Breakfast was an omelet or blintz. Everything was double wrapped and served on china with real silverware.

Yeah, guess I'll just have to ask. Thanks

In terms of random countries/hashgachas, is it safe to assume all Kosher airline meals are actually Kosher? If I won't find out the hashgacha till I'm on the plane, it won't be easy to AMLOR.

Doesn't necessarily go by the bread, but the entire meal

I don't remember. What are the options? It was a 2 course meal from a local caterer. The nain was a meatloaf thing with potatoes. It was hot, fresh and delicious.
