who caters NY-LHR on AA & BA and who gives the hashgacha?
Think borenstein. But regardless, hashgacha was always OU for me.

Still trying to get BA to provide hermolis for my F flight JFK-LHR.

Ex-LHR is Hermolis, which is undisputedly the best KSML.

We were very happy to receive meals from Oahu Kosher on UA J from HNL - EWR   :)  We received steaks and roasted chicken for dinner and an omlet and hashbrown cake for breakfast.  The food was actually good as compared to the inedible stuff we have received in the past.

In AC 84 Y we got Beef chunks with rice from Hamasbia Canada with MK-Mehadrin Hechsher, was very good, especially with the Kosher Mevushal Wine they offer, it's under Harav Zekbach Hechser from France.
The breakfast was NOT dairy, so it wouldn't be a problem to eat the meat sandwich they offered in middle of the flight (wish I knew that before)
AC 85 was Hamasbia Israel, nothing major, both meals were meat, one was chicken balls, the second was chicken shwarma with rice, was for a change good, the sandwich in middle of the flight was a tuna sandwich in a wholewheat roll

Sorry if this has been asked before (please link me)
Are there data points on which airlines you can successfully request kosher champagne for F/J?
