United flight back from TLV was absolutely horrible. The actual meal was left compleyely untouched, Looked gross. And all they had besides was a cheaply 1/2 shekel wafer and some Mediterranean slime. Felt like they were trying extra hard to be as cheap and bad as possible.
Stogle much better. Meal is sometimes ok and then there is crackers and pudding etc.
breakfast same problem.

Question: KSML food seems totally random.
Will requesting that we not get Fish on delta ATL-TLV get us anywhere? My wife wont eat the KSML regardless, but she cannot be around fish.
FWIW, as of now, we are Economy Plebes.

TIA

Is the KSML best selection on Elal from JFK to TLV ?
Wondering the same. Anyone know what's the difference between Elal's choices?
(I know what's fish and what's child meal, don't know whats the difference between Strictly kosher beef meal, Mehadrin meal, and Regal meal)

Mehadrin and Regal is the same thing (name depends on the departure point). Beef is beef.

I think I posted this elsewhere by realized it should be here.

ETIHAD BIZ AUH-IAD

First meal was excellent, but was very disappointed that the only other food on this 14-hour flight was a mid-flight snack



the main meal was the nicest iv experienced on an airplane and then we got this a few hours before landing, huge letdown.
