Dear Forum, We just returned from a trip to Venezuela to attend my mother-in-law's funeral. On the way back we connected to Philadelphia through San Juan. I was seated in seat # 27F by the window. American Airlines advertises that they have food for sale. The plane left at about 6 PM from San Juan. 2 hours into the flight, I asked the flight attendant about dinner. He apparently neglected to tell the rest of us in the back of the plane that they ran out of the meals for purchase. This was a 3 hour and 38 minute flight right through dinnertime and we had no time to eat in San Juan as we had to dash to make our plane due to another late arrival by aa. My advice is to plan a longer layover if you are connecting in aa's hubs so you can eat. We had no such luxury and I had no dinner. The flight attendant offered to me for consolation a drink and a "complimentary chocolate chip cookie. American Airlines knew how many passengers were booked on that plane and yet neglected to stock the plane with food. I find this unacceptable and will try to avoid American in the future. A word to the wise.
