Today Gulf Air J, Bah- Tlv. Omelette, fruit plate, roll with butter& jam. Beautiful service on board. Wish the European airlines would learn that even on a 3 hour flight, good service is appreciated

You can thank the low cost mega carriers like Ryanair, Wizz and EasyJet for reduction in service on European airlines. Middle East has far less ultra low cost competition.

I am flying business with elal. Which is best kosher meal?

Strictly kosher beef meal (KBML)
Mehadrin meal (SKML)
Regal meal (RGML)

Thanks
Mehadrin and regal are the same thing, BTW I flew with elal j class last week and the regal meal was delicious and plentiful

You should forward that to both the Hechsher and the caterer

Good chance that it's a fish dish. Share the ingredients label if you have it

If anyone is wondering, it's Badatz of Amsterdam under Rav Eliezer Wolff, confirmed with the Star K that it's recommended.

BA LHR - EWR this week

was edible until I got to the hot dish.

Noticed an improvement on a few airlines lately. The rolls are packed separately and double sealed for warning. Used to get rolls hard as a rock.
