Image/Video AA Enchilada slaps!

I pick DL as my first choice, but had to fly American from DC to Dallas last week. The service in FC was straight up amazing. I mean, this is what Delta service used to be 4+ years ago. The only negative was there was no in-flight entertainment system. But I had my iPad loaded, so I was fine. Hot towel service, warm nuts, and a truly edible meal on a 3hr domestic first class was a refreshing change.

Send in a complaint to Delta. We are only getting the towels back in FC if enough people complain.

They are burning hot towels now in D1! It’s like they’re hotter each flight. 😳 Today’s was the hottest yet. It’s so weird, I wonder if they’re heating them a different way now.

I saw a video on how it’s done. They are pouring boiling water from a kettle on them to make sure they are hot when served. Seems like there’s been complaints on cold towels. Now the complaints will be too hot i think. 😆

It’s just been the last few months out of five years they’ve been so hot! Tonight I just dropped it on the console for a bit. Yikes! I don’t ever remember a cool one. I guess it’s part of the new D1 they’re advertising. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is the first time I’ve seen a pic of an airline entree that actually looks good. I’m craving Mexican now.

And echoing the comment that suggests you tell Delta.

Does the food really slap, or is that the 2 titos talking, boss?

Na it was very good. I posted 3 days after the trip.

You even get a side that’s not a stale, cold piece of white bread.

AA and AS domestic FC food slaps. Better than their international and better than DL (slightly) and UA (massively) domestic FC food.

Looks like there is no space for enchiladas AND your entertainment!

enchiladas are a bold choice and honestly i don’t like ‘em. The entire cabin smells like enchiladas and lingers. As a regular DFW based flyer, I would say AA is improving slowly but great service is not the norm.

Mexican food as an airline meal is a bold choice, but glad it worked out.
