Any update on ex-FRA what to expect. Just got the Amsterdam meal on LH ex-KBP. Is Sohar no longer the supplier?

Decent enough. 5-6/10. My seat kept on getting harder and softer (the lumbar support I guess). Not sure why.

Love that jetblue continues to offer multiple options for the KSML like they do with their regular service. For dinner On B6, I have been served beef, chicken and fish.

Yes, I can't imagine getting full otherwise. Was a little bit less than full on this meal already.

Not very good. Meat was chewy and the meal was bland and flavorless.
