Air Europa flight, contracted to Iberojet.
They messed up and didn't have a KSML for me, despite the fact I was on their list (they initially said I'm not on the list, though they showed me the list and I was on it).
FA offered anything on the menu but that didn't help as there was nothing kosher.
Ironically, the FA mistakenly spilled my cup of soda on me a bit (more on her) during this conversation.

I have it all on audio recordings.
FA even told me to reach out online for possible compensation.
Any suggestions of what or how to ask?

Emirates ATH-EWR Business,  both dinner and light snack were identical full dinner from Dubai.

Main was some weird tasting lamb and rice.

Rest, I have no idea how it tasted as it was all solid frozen, even 8 hours into the flight.

Airline: UA
Class: Biz
Route: ATH-EWR
Caterer: Stogel
Mealtime: lunch, Dinner
Flight date: Sept 26, 2024
Stoge Scale Score (1-10):  1

Was served this shelf stable meal for both Lunch and Dinner.
Emailed the caterer, who responded that is not their biz class product and not sure why it was given.

Will speak with Polaris CS when I land. Any other advice would be great?




Update: Mid november UA ATH-EWR was Stogels fresh/frozen.  I had a BYOK, but my seat neighbor was happy with his meal as was the other passenger who received mine (he forgot to order)

Until the next seasonal ATH-EWR.

Maybe they actually did listen to you?
