Stay focused we are taking about TLV-EWR 77W

So it's common sense for a 77W, while false about an A321

There are numerous airlines that give you a regular economy kosher meal. CX comes to mind even in F.

According to Lufthansa they claim it’s a biz seat. They just block the seat in between

If you knew anythingbat all about European J you would know that all J within the continent is like that. It's not about the seat itself but the ground services. When you spend more time on the ground then in the air a 1 to 2 hour flight is not the focus. The seat is standard coach with an empty seat between.

So it's common sense for a 77W, while false about an A321

I got a still frozen meal on that route the time I took it. I don't recall if I was able to get them to reheat it properly.

 requested the KSML on UA 954/955 in Y and was wondering who caters the meal from  SFO-TLV and TLV-SFO. Is the meal larger than the regular meal? What  type of dinner is served after takeoff from SFO midflight snack and breakfast before landing at TLV? On the return what dinner .idflight snack and breakfast can I expect. Someone told me its Regal Borenstein from SFO and Hamasbia from TLV. Are the meals like EL AL  Y? Does UA combine the J/Y meals?

I am  not religious but order the KSML for its safety and its better quality over the regular meals. .
