And they didn't have out ksml!
I switched from lh to ua last Thursday but the agent on phone confirmed the ksml and I confirmed online on Friday.
Good thing I brought left. Over. Sous vide chuck eye sandwiches
We were able to split a kosher bkfst that another Jewish couple didn't end up having.
They offered 200 united crest or 10k miles.i figured I'd see if I could get either cash or more via email. Worst case I get the credit.
The FAs felt. horrible and were ready to hold. Up the flight for half  an hour but we said to just go. We didn't  want to be those people, and we have a 10am tour.
I believe even when you don't want KSLM meals you should always request them that if they don't show up you can get comp.
I'm not who you think I am.

Has anyone flown QR recently? If yes, what brand of KSML meals do they serve? I'm going to be flying them soon from DOH-JFK in J.

Nice. A lot better than the WAM meals that someone wrote they got a year ago on QR.

The Wiki needs to be updated for AA.  They now serve kosher meals in F for most flights that meals are served https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/experience/dining/special-meals-and-nut-allergies.jsp

I am currently flying AA488 (PHX-PHL) and was served a very nice Borenstein meal.  I may post a picture if I figure out how to remove my name from the picture.

Click “reply” and you can attach a picture directly to this post, from your phone / computer.

Guessing you got something similar to this.
