UA wants to hear feedback on their KSMLs. They have told me that time and time again.

Has anyone had trouble getting their kosher meal ordered on Air France. I’m booked in business class from JFK-CDG-TLV and although the second leg has a kosher meal the first leg does not and there is no such option when choosing the menu. Any suggestions?

Send me your PNR/name/bday and I can reach out. Their media team is under the impression this isn't true, though they're probably clueless.

It’s definitely an option, but don’t expect more than Stogel cat food.

Does anyone have experience with KSML meals on domestic Qantas Business Class flights?  Trying to figure out whether to expect a meal (or just bring food -- which I'll probably do anyway) on three domestic J flights:  MEL-SYD, SYD-CNS, CNS-BNE

I have a December flight JFK-CDG flight and no kosher option either (going or returning)
