Perfect. And no issue if solid frozen I guess?

Yep, no issues frozen solid. However, when frozen solid it will take a good hour to get them fully heated.

When I had them heated and I told the FA an hour she looked at me like I was nuts. But then after 30 minutes and she saw that it was cold just by feeling the pan it went back in for 30 minutes. Came out quite good after the full hour.

Exact same thing happened by me.

Well I failed to have CX even put my food to be chilled when flying in J from to MEL-HKG(Terrible crew in general) after a back and forth they gave me several packs of dry ice and I put it under and on top of my food in my plastic bag and to my surprise it was rock hard in HKG. The first class lounge was willing to warm it up but there wasn't enough time due to the fact we had to land in Manila to refuel. My last chance was on my flight from HKG-JFK in F and I had a feeling I wouldn't be successful. Bottom line I had an amazing crew and it was my best experience flying first class and they agreed to heat it up as long as it was put in before departure. Not sure why that makes a difference but as long as I had hot food I was happy!

Yes. What's wrong? I actually noticed it while flying but we flew at a much lower altitude due to turbulence so we didn't have the legal required fuel to fly to HKG. The lower you fly the more gas you burn.

Anyone with Air France experience? (after I travel I'll update the wiki with my experience)

What happened with this?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Anyone with experience doing this on HA? Gonna be on their first flight JFK-HNL on the new plane. I wonder if that would make them more sticklers for the rules.

HA LAX-HNL Y class were amazing about it. They even offered me more aluminum foil if I wanted to open it up and see if the food was ready.

Another success with CX F, but as usual, they weren't thrilled about it.
