I'm flying CX F from Zurich to hong kong. Catered by Shalom.
How is their catering?
Is it crazy to route through London for Hermolis?

I think it's quite good and tasty. It's fresh, which in a way is better than the frozen Hermolis you sometimes get out of London on foreign airlines.

You can see pictures of all the meals here

Not sure if you'd get business or 'premuim' meal on CX F.

Fresh Kills
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Always a chance, just depends on the Stewardess, and how you ask..

Best bet in general is not ordering Kosher and then telling them you dont have anything to eat and it would be great if they could heat up your BYOK

I recall reading somewhere about some traains in Europe offering Kosher meals aboard.

I bought a first class ticket on Italotreno which includes meal service.

Anyone know if they offer a kosher meal option?
