Was reading today on the JetBlue mint product. They seem to have by far the best offer for KSML than the other airlines in the transcon market. You are offered chicken, beef and fish, along with kosher wine, 2 desserts and they have lots of kosher unlimited snacks.

Unfortunately, booking that with miles is very unrealistic. I haven't paid for a flight in years.

The JetBlue Amex should get you more than halfway, to a one way mint class ticket.

I actually booked the mint with miles last year (LAX-JFK) when there was a double promotion, but unfortunately I didn't get the KSML, because I missed the deadline of '48 hours' required.

I booked EY more than 24HR but less than 48hrs.

By meals the KSML is listed as "KSML (Unconfirmed )"

Is that an indication that i may not get a KSML?

Is there a way to see on United website if KSML is confirmed? I went to travelers information and added it but don't see anywhere that it says confirmed?

Booked a flight on etihad and didn't get a kosher meal. the stewardess said it was never put in, even tho i have confirmed that it was. other people on my flight had the same issue. I emailed them and they blamed it on priceline.

Flying UA Premium Service (J) EWR -> SFO on Monday (post the move from JFK).   They're saying there's no way to order a KSML on the flights -- did this change with the move from JFK?  The special meals page on the UA site (https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/inflight/dining/special/default.aspx) still says a KSML is avail on PS.

And if it is still available, does anybody know of a way to get them to add for me?

Anyone know what the kosher meals are like on Air Canada to and from Tel Aviv?

Also, will AC heat up a meal if we bring it on the plane?

Does it make sense that there is no option for a KSML flying ZN from BOS-LAX?
