EK doesn't fly that route
They do fly
JFK-DXB
DXB-ICN
and the two flights are likely different caterers

BRU-JFK on SN, got Stogel, and it was as good as airline food can get

First meal was schnitzel with noodles later they gave ice creme. Second meal was a falafel in pita for an airline it was amazing.

Stogel and food are an oxymoron.

UA NRT-GUM Dinner Service in Business

Regal on real China with silverware

Smoked salmon appetizer, pasta with vegetables/tomato sauce, pita and sponge cake.

It was fine, but nothing to get excited about. Most kosher meals leaving Japan are meatless.

GUM-NRT Breakfast service in Business

Also Regal, standard UA kosher breakfast.  It would be great if they had a dairy version of the omelette for single meal flights.  Also, who needs a danish and a bagel in the same meal?

I saw a few people asked about KSML on TK, but I didn't see any replies. So, does anyone know if they have KSML, and which hashgocha it is, on JFK-IST-TLV, and the reverse? Thanks.

From DDMS:

Turkish offers freshly made kosher meals in all classes and they are highly regarded as well. They are made in Turkey and are kosher supervised by the OK.

Very nice. Thanks. Interesting that even ex-TLV it's OK, not an Israeli hashgocha...
