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. Menu here:https://twelve.dynamify.com/store/clubhouse-london/c-627

This is my first post, never bothered to register before, until I figured out there's a wiki I couldn't see. So shame on me.

Just want to add something - the Delta Skyclub in FLL has kosher meals on request, even though it's not advertised anywhere. Not sure about MIA (can't remember).

Also, every Delta hub has kosher meals on request, and most of them are good. However, the ones in DTW for some reason for the past year have solely consisted of a very bad tasting vegan stuffed pepper, no idea why. I've complained a few times already.

Lastly, the last time I was in the main LGA Skyclub, I was told by the server "2 kosher meals per person". Note that I did not ask for anything at that point. I found that pretty rude and I never have had more than 2 meals. But I was imagining some guy going in the day before, asking for 10 meals, and putting them in his bag. Not sure what actually led to that comment / potentially new policy (which again I think is extremely rude).

I'm disappointed that after all this time, the Wiki has not been updated with the info that the Delta FLL skyclub has kosher meals. It's some shelf stable vegetarian stuff if I remember correctly, but they have it. I've gotten them 5-10 times.

The Skyclub in DCA now also has kosher meals on request. I got them today, for the second time. I don't remember whether or not there's a sign. It's the same Spring Valley stuff they have in NY.

The newish Skyclub in ORD ALSO has kosher meals on request, and there IS a sign. Unfortunately, they were out when I went and so I only got an apology.

Unfortunately, the new Skyclub in CLT does NOT have kosher meals, at least last time I checked.

This is amazing progress over many years ago. Can we please get this stuff added to the wiki so that more people know about it?

You would probably have to call in to a restaurant in Sarcelles [which is the closest jewish neighborhood] and ask if they have deliveries or you can take a subway to town.

you can always do what @Dan says, place a regular order at the restaurant and order a regular Uber and have them pick up and bring to you

Odd. A lot cheaper in CLE and MIA than regular Uber. And the drivers know exactly what they're getting into.

Could not find the package option in Uber. It was only request a ride and Uber eats... Does it make sense they don't have it in Paris?

Add MSP to the list. Had Mealmart frozen meals. They came out and approached me, didn't even know it exists.

They flopped on the first meal after preparing it open, and I told them to redo it, but they ran out of the meat, so I had to settle in some Parve dish.

how does ordering food to a airport work ?
once inside you would have to go out and back thru security?
