777s post was taking to task the comment that you will come off the flight hungry, and pointing out that you have the choice of anything on the menu as well which is pretty extensive. ...
I guess you missed this post (posted at a similar time):Y customers get the option of paying, J get a free go, and in the flights I have had with Pies, express pie selection (ex CNS and MEL).
MichaelD, if I were you I would be relating that experience to DJ management.Our last experience was;
