I am flying American first from ORD to LAX. There is dinner being served. I want to order a kosher meal, but there is no option on the reservations page. Do these type of domestic flights even have kosher meals, and if so, how do you order them. Thanks

I flew EWR-LHR RT this week in Polaris.
EWR-LHR was Fresko, very decent food and nice sized portions with real cutlery. (Only one pic of dinner sorry, no breakfast pic.)


For LHR-EWR I was looking forward to Hermolis but to my horror, the meal was Stogel. Needless to say it was not touched

Send positive and negative feedback to United.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

At least it wasn't the shelf stable Stogel. The frozen Stogel is somewhat edible, there are things over there that I would've tried.

Somebody should tell them to request KSMLs

flew United Biz class LAX-EWR had Regal. On the way back EWR-LAX they did not have the kosher food. Don't rely on them to have it, bring you own food. The flight attendant didn't even know that United was offering kosher.  Im definitely going to call and see what they will give me.

Is it across the board that you need to request kosher meals 48 hours in advance?
Is there a list somewhere of which airlines require 48 hours and which 24 is enough?
