The flight was fine but the catering information about this particular flight was deceiving and turned into a huge disappointment. The snack and breakfast were OK but I penalized this category for the inaccurate information on both the website and the menu. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect dinner on an intl flight that is almost 7 hrs departing at 20:15. That's about right for dinner time in Latin America.
The crew was professional and our FA addressed people by name. During the meal service she served the whole J cabin by herself so kudos to her for doing an efficient job.

What a nice cover picture!!! I found out that it’s a fresco called Sanctuary/Santuario, by two artists called Juana Alicia and Emmanuel Catarino Montoya. Very beautiful.
Awwww... so sad you didn’t get the fish with chimichurri. BTW, what on earth is chimichurri exactly?! That word seems to be common to all Latin American countries. In Chile it usually refers to... how could I describe it... say, an unspecific, indetermined, indefinite mixture of finely chopped vegetables and spices, as in “Qué comiste?” “No tengo idea. Era un chimichurri de cosas raras, pero estaba rico.” LOL That must be why it’s also an untranslatable word!!
Your deception with the wrong menu reminded me of a Chilean TV show from the early 80s called Jappening con Ja, which was a sketch comedy show. They had this sketch about two FAs dealing with passengers in first and economy class during a flight. The differences are hilarious!

Thanks for sharing!
"What a nice cover picture!!!"
- It's a very impressive fresco indeed. SFO has a lot of interesting and compelling artwork and at the intl. terminal each gate is decorated by works of a different artist.
"BTW, what on earth is chimichurri exactly?!"
- I am from Nicaragua & Costa Rica, so my connotation of "chimichurri" is a sauce made of chopped parsley, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. It is used as a marinade and accompaniment for grilled meats.
"That must be why it’s also an untranslatable word!!"
- A lot of words are untranslatable. ;)
"Your deception with the wrong menu reminded me of a Chilean TV show from the early 80s called Jappening con Ja,"
- Gracias por el link. Es para morirse de la risa. :P
Thank you for your comments and visit.
LOL. Me parece que deberias de hacer "consulting" para Air Koryo. :P
Gracias por tu visita y comentarios como siempre.
- I scoped these out, but are annoying since they are not accessible by all status holders (UA, A3, and TK are not allowed) and it has to be international departure if you are lucky enough to be around when the SQ or BR flights are leaving.
"I skipped dinner on purpose expecting to have dinner right after take off."
- Not sure who was at fault here ;) CM for having a crappy website, or you for expecting edible food on CM :P Not sure about this, both of the LAX departures are 23:00 and 24:00 so area always the snack on take-off. Just be glad there wasn't a snack on arrival, otherwise you'd be starved in the CM lounge^^
If you think about it, the breakfast really isn't that much more than what you'd see on an international flight (TATL or TPAC) that had a full breakfast meal.
"The IFE program selection is limited in my opinion."
- It's really bad, to the point that on the return leg you are struggling for anything to watch. At least these cabins offer better pitch and recline. It's really surprising when you see how far these seats can really recline (Rows 1-3, since Row 4 has a lesser recline).
Another 'meh' experience on CM. I used them for mileage runs, but they are certainly not a carrier I ever want to fly. There really is little to like about CM, at least it sounds like you had better crews than I got.
Thanks for sharing Adan!
"they are not accessible by all status holders (UA, A3, and TK are not allowed) "
- No consistency in policy. That sucks.
"...both of the LAX departures are 23:00 and 24:00 so area always the snack on take-off. "
- There is a big difference between a 20:15 dept. vs a 23:00/24:00.
"If you think about it, the breakfast really isn't that much more than what you'd see on an international flight (TATL or TPAC) that had a full breakfast meal."
- Perfectly fine for a flight of this length.
"There really is little to like about CM, at least it sounds like you had better crews than I got."
- I think addressing the crew in Spanish helps a lot.
Thank you Michael for your comments as always.
- Well, then that says a lot about a carrier that is the supposedly so devoted to connecting the Americas.
- You should put your charm to good use. ;)
Nice shot of your bird, the artwork in the airport looks really interesting.
I'm glad you got the new cabin on this flight, a nice crew is a plus as well.
That's a whole lot of confusion with the catering.
Did they serve the yogurt cup in that bowl?
Thanks for sharing.
Have a good one, see you later!
