KSML on Upgrade

[dealvr]

I am AA Gold and received my upgrade confirmation 23.75 hours before my flight.
I called AA right after it was confirmed to request the KSML and was told there is nothing they can do since it is within 24 hours of departure.
My flight is tomorrow morning.

Any suggestions?

they will give you the ksml from economy? - which is probably still on the flight - confirm with check in agent (take food just in case)

not true - if your flying business domestic there is KSML. call up and try your luck

I flew a 9 hour flight in F ORD-HNL as a LT PLT and could not get a KSML

AA has kosher in first and business class only on transcontinental flights in the US.

you have to call in advance. I've even done it on short flights numerous times (jfk-ord in j)

[Moishy36]

Special meals are available on Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack and Breakfast Snack flights when ordered in advance.

Order at least 24 hours prior to the flight:

Special Meals are not available in our main cabin on domestic U.S. flights.

I called months in advance. Its written"bipheirish" on their site. I dont know when you last tried it but am willing to bet you would not be successful today unless you are flying transcontinental.

You left out a line:

no that is written under:

(if)

meaning: if you want a special meal, then order at least 24 hours on..

First and Business Classes on non-stop transcontinental flights in the U.S
n all classes to or from Europe and Asia ...etc.

I almost missed an OP UP upgrade on LH a few weeks ago, because I have a KSML booked... I told her thank you very much for your consideration, but ill forgo the meal...

actually, you won't get a special meal on ANY airline unless you order in advance

+1000 -- no KSML available in Business on AA for quite some time now...unless flying across the country.  For breakfast, at least they have cornflakes and a banana (they recently cheaped out and replaced strawberries with a bag of raisins).  BUT -- on my last Biz flight on AA, they only had two cereal meals on board for the cabin with 10 people, and they were taken before they got to me in row 4.  They only had some very treif sausage omelet sandwich or something similar...Shame on me -- I neglected to call and get some consideration for the lack of cereal on the flight

[Moishy36]

I guess i havent been in AA biz for a while...although they should be more accommodating to pax in J and F if everyone else is getting a meal
