Does anyone have a current JFK-FRA-SIN menu? I decided against BTC on the way out and turned out to be a disappointing experience meal-wise. Want to know what's in store for me the way home (or if I should fill up in the Virgin lounge!)

The flight back is chock full in J on an A380 as was the case on my trip out so I'm assuming I will get the same excuse.

The recommended strategy is to offer the FA to ask all other passengers first and then come back to see whether your preferred choice is still available. If you are a PPS, I am pretty certain that for some reason they will have exactly one meal left. It will be the one that you wanted :-)

Originally posted by fimo View PostWell denied the option in that i don't get to choose freely. I had to wait for them to serve the whole cabin first. And my choice was no longer available. And I am Solitaire PPS. Happened twice.

Had the most horrible BTC ex SG to HK. The meat was tough and completely dry. It was so tasteless that it could match plain congee. I had the picture but i wonder how can i post it here...... order at own risk.
The Grilled angus beef burger was equally bad. Saw my neighbour ordered it, she abandoned it after taking 2 bites..... if you take the morning flight to HK, i think only the dim sum is edible... at least the fried carrot cake smelled good.....
Going to write off BTC from now....

Having said that most of my flights are +10 hours long. I wonder if they are more generous in ensuring that they have some excess on these long flights versus the shorter regional ones.

Originally posted by CarbonMan View PostAm shocked to hear this, fimo. Even when I was PPS, they would always come over to me to ask for my order quite early and I've never been denied my first choice. Once I ordered a BTC (they would double check quite early on the flight) but liked something from the menu, they had no issues with that. That was the exception, usually when I order BTC I stick to it - hate wasting food.

The upside is the meeting agenda before my flight has changed so I will have far more time in the VS lounge than expected so I can at least have a decent meal before I board the whalejet. The other downer being I really do not like flying the A380 so being able to have a halfway decent experience would help. And that includes my meal selections!

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostFor JFK-FRA I would definitely eat in the VS CH anyway. That flight is too short, with or without heavy tailwinds, to eat on board and get a decent sleep. I eat in the CH then just try and sleep on board.
Surprised to hear that as TPP. It is true they don't load the (frankly silly) excess that they used to but as TPP you should have got what you wanted. I presume the cabins were full ?.
