there have been several reports of all the meals on the flight being kosher certified by Rabbi Wolff.

Thanks I realized that I should have specified tlv to ams not the other way around but I guess they’re probably the same thing.

Flying Virgin Atlantic in premium this Sunday from LAX to LHR, anyone know what to expect food wise?
Also will it still be a kosher for pesach meal?

I flew lhr to tlv just before yontif it was hermolis not pesach and one of the best meals I ever ate on a plane by far. No one can say for sure if it’s pesach, given that yontif is over Thursday and then there is shabbos and your flight is Sunday I would assume it is but who knows, I flew Turkish business in July and got pesach food so it’s anyone’s guess…

Yep! That’s what was on my flight as well, interestingly I don’t think that was the case with business (I was first row behind business) I don’t think it was all kosher sealed meals.

By the way it was just a English muffin and egg sandwich, so don’t come hungry, not that it tasted that bad even, but it’s enough food for maybe a 6 month old baby.
