We soon boarded the plane and the cabin looked clean with a blanket on each seat. Seats seemed a bit tight and the pitch is not the greatest. According to Seatguru.com, the pitch on the 737-800's in J is 39 in. or 99.06 cm., but these felt tighter than that. Entertainment was a sitcom shown on the overhead screen. Contrary to my previous flight, the service on this one was exemplary. We had a great purser who was proactive and attentive. Coats were hung, PDB's served (water or orange juice)and after take off I even received hot towels. Meals, although slightly better, continued to disappoint. This time I was offered a choice between a chicken salad or vegetable focaccia. I chose the chicken salad and it was delivered with a side of fresh fruit, bread sticks and a packet of pistachio and almond cookies for dessert. I guess AM has followed the lead of some U.S. carriers in offering light dishes in its premium cabin.

Conclusion
This was a good flight with an excellent purser who set the tone of the service from the beginning. Catering continues to disappoint and although I was offered a choice of meals, both of these were light choices (a salad and sandwich) that do not exemplify a proper hot dinner in a premium cabin of this length.

Thank you for this flight report.
2013-10-04 08:15:48It seems the meals were indeed on the light side, even more for an evening meal.
It is not until now that I realized of this oversight. My apologies. Thanks for your comment as well Kelval.
2014-05-04 08:17:21Thanks for sharing this FR
Legroom seems to be tight
As you pointed it AM has followed the lead of U.S. carriers for its catering
Fortunately you had a great purser
2013-10-04 09:51:39Business class seat width, but economy class seat pitch (and a somewhat tight one at that). The meal seems tuned to the seat pitch, may be they want to be sure you do not get fat during the flight ;) Thanks for this report !
2013-10-04 12:54:15Nice to see this flight went better than the previous leg. US carriers wouldn't even serve a light meal for a flight that's only 2 hours.
