You're going to Barbados aren't you?? If so, the inbound menu will be different as this is the menu to/from the USA.

Thank you. I can now delight in deliberating and changing my mind for the next two weeks ! All adds to the holiday excitement .

Cheers Tinkerbelle
Looks like a really good menu both out & in, i will have quite a few chances to sample the menu in the upcoming months.

Aahh now I'd never considered that   Shame coz I just luv the Mahi Mahi.   

Thanks for putting me right    At least I shan't be disappointed on the day.

Would "autumn" usually cover March/April? This is when I have my LAX return flights in u/c (I usually travel p/e, so am very much looking forward to this).

No, this menu will last until the beginning of December. The UC menu changes every three months; the PE and economy menu every six months

You need to look out for the "spring" menu nearer to when you are due to fly.

so its SMALL cake! then why not say so !

hmmm, might have to skip a starter on the way to lax in nov.
Main courses bit iffy too.

Light bites and breakfast seem like they have had a budget cut...

Thanks for posting

Looks appetizing, whether it actually is remains to be seen. Wish they'd upgrade the wine from maybe 2 quid a bottle to 4!

Having tried it from EWR yesterday, it is

Out of curiosity: Why are the light bites and scrambled eggs & bacon on some flights but not others?

Well, a bundt is a cake in a very specific shape, so in theory you don't want to call it simply a small cake, or when one gets it they might complain it's not a shape they like, or too dry (which IMO can actually be true of this particular shape). Now, somebody got a bit too clever with the wordplay, surely, but the name will perhaps convince some to ask what it is, like you did, and make a more informed decision rather than ordering something they end up not liking.

They're the shorter flights to/from the east coast of America

In other words, VS doesn't think that people traveling from the West coast need a real breakfast after a 10 hour flight.......

Yet again, totally underwhelmed by the menu, so what's that, 2 I liked and 2 I didn't in the last year ?

VS say they have the policy of "Freedom Dining" - eat what you want, when you want. As I often don't fancy eating from the dinner menu on my way back from MCO I have suddenly wondered if I could order the lighter option of scrambled egg and bacon from the breakfast menu before I try to sleep. Has anyone please ever tried this ?
Thank you. ?|

If its not served on your specific flight then i doubt it would even be loaded for you to choose.

cheers

I think it should be on offer on VS16 ?
