Maybe I got lucky by getting a Premium Economy meal but   when flying SEA - FRA LH 491 I got a really good Regal Kosher Meal.

When did you take this flight? I hope not recently as the meal is out of date by almost 5 months...

Regal is a US Based company, So they probably use the US Format DD/MM/YYYY

I also recently flew LH (PHL-FRA) and the whole family got premium economy kosher meals even though we were in economy. Maybe they are getting rid of them before they expire?

One of the reasons I actually took the a picture of packaging is to send it in to Lufthansa to complain about the date.
Even so the meals was served on china with real silverware and the meat and green beans were moist and really good, one of the better meals I've had on an airplane.


Interestingly on when I flew to the US on FRA - PHL I got a regular meal, its probably just leaving the US  since the meals are always from where you come from.

I know kosher is different but in the secular world, isnt Lufthansa known for there for food, maybe they decided to be nice kosher eating passengers as well. :P ;D

Anyone know who provides the meals on Delta from Sydney to LAX? What’s the hechsher?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Why can't LY make better mehadrin meals?
The ones made in NY are under the OK. Why can't they just seal those and serve that as the SKML?

Seriously?? Oy another one bites the dust. Growing up thinking the OU was the #1 accepted hashgacha in the US, then finding out reality as an adult. Now you're telling me the OK is not almost-nationally accepted?
