All of it sealed to everybody.
It's mid range euro flights. Just a spinach omelet sandwich with pareve cheese and ketchup + snacks (brownies + some other cake) all badaatz amsterdam

Still not able to confirm a meal, neither on delta website or klm. Suggestion ?

Flew from the Philippines to Dubai to Rome in F.

Flight from the Philippines had a delicious grilled chicken, the flight from Dubai was nasty bean filled eggplants. I still cannot understand the big deal to have rolls and a normal dessert in these meals. They are just not filling with 2 tiny crunchy breadsticks.

Does it make sense that UA doesn't offer KSML on the JNB-EWR route?

Royal Air Maroc CMN-JFK. What KSML is served in J and Y?

Just came back. Food was from Lyon Bais Din hecsher. J meal was same as economy, nothing to write home about.

I also had GVA-RAK with LX the Lyon Bais Din meal.

Anybody knows how reliable they are?

They gave me 2500 miles for giving fruit instead of a meal on a flight from PHX - EWR in J.
