If pasta is on a menu there is a good chance that I am ordering it. While flying on a very delayed flight from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), I got to try out American’s Cheese Lasagne. This is available as a pre-order option and I selected it before the flight.
The description had the dish outlined as: Cheese Lasagna with roasted tomatoes, baby arugula, marinara, brie cream cheese sauce. This sounded a bit odd to me (and certainly not the most Italian preparation, but I still wanted it).
The meal started with mixed nuts and I had a ginger ale with a splash of cranberry to drink.
The meal was served on one tray with a plain green salad, a dish of edamame and some veggies with chili sauce, and a choice of bread roll. The sides did not look appealing and I did not eat them (I hate edamame). The arugula for the lasagna was in a little container. I skipped that as well. The Cheese Lasagna was tasty, but a bit overcooked.
Dessert came next with a choice of raspberry sorbet or a fruit and cheese plate.
Anthony’s Take: American does a good job of mixing up the side dishes, but this one was an odd miss. The Cheese Lasagna was decent, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to order it again.

AA seems to be increasingly giving F customers this “Scylla and Charybdis” choice with meals: If you want a hot meal, it is vegetarian. If you want meat or fish, it is a cold snack. Of course the hot vegetarian option is in addition to about 10 other vegetarian options for every religion. These “vegetarian” meals are just the meals we used to get but with the meat removed. This is especially annoying since so few domestic routes even have a meal in F, and with free upgrades almost entirely gone, so we’re having to pay for F and get these non-existent or sub-par meals.
