Flight duration: 1:40
Aircraft type & class: A319 Economy
Business or leisure trip: Business
Meal type: Snack
Contents of the meal: Ham and cheese sandwich. Chocolate biscuits, peanuts.
Drink: Diet Coke (coffee was also served).
Comments: I left more than the half of the tiny sandwich. The bread was hard and dry. The cookies were good as always. The peanuts were fresh and crunchy.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): The meal hardly got a 3 (anyway, it was a 10:00 am flight, so it was out of the breakfast/lunch service; at least we got something). The crew was absolutely fantastic. The purser Mr. Picache or Bicache or something like that spoke great English and his announcements were clear and professional. Great way to deliver service by them all. Congrats to the crew of flight MX343/22FEB MEX-CUN

Ticket price: Free (FF miles)
Flight duration: 1:50 hrs.
Aircraft type & class: B757-200, Economy
Business or leisure trip: Business
Meal type: Breakfast
Contents of the meal: Cheese? omelette with salsa and refried beans on the side (some cheese on top of them). "Orejas" cookies (Fine Mexican pastry) with chocolate. A bun. Butter and salt. Coffee on request.
Drink: Diet Coke.
Comments: It was just OK. I could't tell what the omelette was made of. Maybe it wasn't an omelette at all. It wasn't very tasty either; it needed a bit more of salt. The beans were excellent. The cookies were amazing (that brand "Marian" is definitely the leader in freshness and flavour). About the piece of bread I don't have words for it, so I will repeat what Frasier (from the sitcom of the same name) said once: "The roll was harder than Hamlet". I thought rocks were not allowed past security check point. :-)
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 6. MX can be much more creative than this.

Meal type: Dinner - Chicken with Grey Sauce, salad, cookie
Drink: Water (No wine available)
Comments: The sauce appeared to be an attempt at a Mexican Mole
sauce. It had a bitter aftertase and sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
The salad was iceberg with shredded zucchini. The dressing was orange
"French dressing" like they used to serve in the 50's.
The cookie was very good.
