LHR British Airways -
LHR BA Lounges - Kosher food is available at BA's lounges as follows:
T5/T3 Galleries Club: Bagel/panini and/or soup.
T5/T3 Galleries First: Main course, usually a choice of salmon, chicken stir fry or meat balls (sometimes changed to spaghetti bolognaise).
T5 Concorde Room (CCR): Same as First, but they will also bring soup from the Club lounge if asked, and can also do a plate of plain smoked salmon (with a slice of lemon) on request. Just make sure you stress that you ONLY want the smoked salmon, otherwise they will bring cooked cherry tomatoes or other stuff with it. They will also mix cocktails using Grey Goose vodka instead of the non-kosher Ciroc (Bloody Mary and Cosmopolitan) if asked. The staff in the CCR are very helpful.
Galleries First and the CCR also have a kosher breakfast option: omelette or 'frittata' with stuff which is supposed to make it look like a "full English Breakfast" - meaning it has a couple of rather poor Tivall sausages included. But the rest of the stuff is OK.
The arrivals lounge only carries the kosher breakfast.
Plain salted Kettle chips are kosher. If you want any for the flight ask at the lounge as they only carry two non-kosher flavored version on the aircraft. Also, in the CCR you need to ask at the bar for them in the packet otherwise they will (helpfully) open the bag into a pretty china bowl for you.
To get a kosher meal in the Galleries lounges you need to get one of the servers and ask them to check what kosher meals are available. In the Concorde Room (CCR) you go to the dining area reception desk and ask there, or you can ask at the bar, or indeed ask any of the staff who tend to float around. If you want soup in the CCR they may well tell you that they don't have kosher soups - they are not 100% wrong there because they don't store any of the kosher soup in their kitchen (which is shared with Galleries First). However, if you ask them to check with their supervisor whether they can bring it for you from the Galleries Club lounge they will always manage to arrange it.
LHR El Al contract lounge: BLUSH
LHR Virgin Atlantic ClubHouse, Hermolis meals and kosher wine
MAD Priority Pass T4S Neptuno had kosher meals on request (salami sandwiches, pasta salad, cake) with local Hechsher.
MUC KSML available with pre-request to Lufthansa.
SIN Singapore Airlines Private Room (Hermolis). KSML is available here only if requested 4 hours in advance per the waiter.
SYD Qantas First Lounge - available on advance request (Lewis KSML). Call CS and ask to be put through to the F lounge.
TLV Dan Lounges (not mehadrin/heter mechira).
TLV King David Lounge (mehadrin/shmita l'chumra).
YYZ KLM Lounge (terminal 3). Gradzinski Sandwiches are available before LY flights on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. And in Air Canada Signature lounge (terminal 1) hot kosher meals from Toronto Kosher are available but they need about half an hour to heat them up.

Is the wiki only referring to meals
Any idea if CUN or MIA has kosher snacks in lounge or non-lounge and what kinda things I might find if really desperate
Meals or substantial snacks, yes.

I'm sure you'll find some snacks in MIA. I also wonder if they AA lounge might have meals for sale there, apparently the AA lounge in LAX does.

Any more DPs on AA lounges selling hot kosher meals?

Only BA has Kosher meals. No need (or way...) to order in advance. VS lounge also has kosher but you won't get in there.
You can (sometimes) get DD's sandwiches @ WH Smiith in the terminal.
Do you need to order in advance for VS?

Flying AA out of JFK to CDG in business class, what are my lounge and food options? Is it Admirals Club and Greenwich? Does Admirals club have kosher meals?

Have the driver throw the food over the perimeter fencing?

Lol. Not sure. I thought I recalled something mentioned here once about delivery to one of the lounges.

Security clearance aside, which place would you recommend ordering uber eats from?

probably the only one that would show up within the airport radius on Uber eats is milts. Otherwise you can order from any restaurant for pickup and order a regular Uber to bring it to you. Make sure the restaurant knows so they can seal accordingly

I was there before an El Al flight:
Kosher airline meals from Holland (caterer: Langerhuize), trays, hot portions too and sandwiches.
I arrived close to boarding time and they only had sandwiches left.  I asked some who had a "full meal" and they said it was ok.
Note: the LY flight leaves late in the evening and 2 Meat restaurants in the city open aroun 5/530pm. I opted to eat there and then take a cab to the airport.

Does anyone have any information as to when the art and lounge in newark, operated by El Al, will reopen? The Lufthansa lounge is closed for repairs and the El Al lounge website says it's closed for Covid  >:(
