Surprisingly, El Al had very decent meals on my recent flight. It seemed almost the same as the "regular Kosher" meals with the addition of tons of plastic.

If you don't cross an ocean you're not getting a KSML on UA from EWR.

Does anyone have experience with midtown Manhattan restaurants that double-wrap? POM was too out of the way for me (or I simply procrastinated) and I'm flying out of EWR in Domestic First (no KSML).

Thanks in advance.
