Those of you that fly American Airlines often will know that they’ve long had a “Gourmet Snack Mix” comprised of mostly pretzels, with a few other crunchy things thrown in (picture courtesy of I Love Charts):
On a recent American Airlines flight, however, I was presented with a bag of Mixed Nuts:
I was ecstatic! Not being a pretzel fan, I would always pass on the snack mix… but on shorter flights where there are no warm nut ramekins, I finally had an option. As it turns out, this is a very, very limited catering option and isn’t on most flights. The FA’s, however, thought it had better uptake and encouraged me to blog about it and have folks send notes to Customer Relations requesting the Mixed Nuts more often.
What’s your preference? The “Gourmet Snack Mix” which is mostly pretzels? Mixed nuts (whether packaged or warmed)? Nothing? Something else? Comment below… and if you want mixed nuts in place of snack mix, email Customer Relations!
I vote for King’s Mixed Nuts.
I think it is nuts to think about these things.
Either, or nothing I guess. FWIW, the Snack Mix is damn sure NOT what put them into bankruptsy! If that 18-piece ‘snack’ cost them more than a nickle, they over paid. AA may be well know for great FAs, but it stops there.

dude, you need to get on AS/QX more since AS always have King’s Mixed Nuts (or King’s Snack if they are out.)
ffi – I’d agree, but I really dislike pretzels.
nulle – Since I don’t cover the west coast anymore, it’s harder to get on AS flights now.
I prefer the warm nuts over anything else the rest are a tie in my book.
David – I agree, but on short flights with no oven, nuts over pretzels any day!
