I got to the airport for my evening departure to New York and the plane went through a series of mechanical delays which eventually resulted in the flight being cancelled.

I stayed overnight at the Windsor Atlantica Rio de Janeiro Hotel<\/a> where I was re-booked on a flight to New York the following day. The flight duration from Rio de Janeiro to New York City is approximately 10 hours.<\/p>\n

The Business Class cabin on the Boeing 767-300 (763) is in a 2-2-2 configuration with angled flat seats.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I always choose the middle section because I have direct aisle access to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a glass of champagne as a pre-departure beverage.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa4\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also a Business Class amenity kit (not pictured) that was already placed in a storage compartment in front of me.<\/p>\n

The Business Class menu reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa5\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa6\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa7\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dinner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starter \u2013 Smoked Salmon Carpaccio with wasabi<\/p>\n

Salad \u2013 Mixed greens with garnishes with premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar<\/p>\n

Assorted gourmet breads will be served with your meal<\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chateaubriand \u2013 Served in green peppercorn sauce, with oven-roasted new potatoes, turned zucchini and saut\u00e9ed carrots<\/p>\n

Coq au Vin \u2013 Accompanied by mandioquinha puree and haricots verts<\/p>\n

Agnolotti Pasta \u2013 Stuffed with artichokes and Brie, complemented by saffron basil sauce and wild mushroom reduction<\/p>\n

Cream of Chickpea Soup \u2013 With bacon<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional Ice Cream Sundae \u2013 Vanilla ice cream with your choice of hot fudge, coffee sauce or seasonal berry toppings, whipped cream and pecans<\/p>\n

Gourmet Cheese Plate \u2013 An assortment of fine cheeses with garnishes<\/p>\n

Breakfast \u2013 Offered prior to arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

American Breakfast \u2013 Ham and cheese omelette with tomato sauce, saut\u00e9ed mushrooms and parslied potatoes<\/p>\n

Continental Breakfast \u2013 Granola with yogurt<\/p>\n

Served with a selection of fruit and breakfast breads<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the wine and beverage list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa9\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa10\"<\/a> \"GIGtoJFKaa11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the flight reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant passed out hot mixed nuts with a beverage of my choice. I had cranberry vodka with lime which is my favorite in-flight cocktail.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The starter consisted of smoked salmon carpaccio, salad, and mini pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) which was delicious. I love cheesy bread (who doesn’t?).<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had the Chateaubriand which was overcooked and a bit rough. Next time I\u2019d choose the fish option.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with dessert with a signature American Airlines made to order ice cream sundae. I always have it with \u2018a little bit\u2019 of everything. Remember, calories don\u2019t count in the air. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the meal, I went to sleep and I had the flight attendant wake me up for breakfast which was an hour before landing. I had the ham and cheese omelet which was absolutely disguising (apologize for the blurry picture). Omelets should be abolished from all American Airlines flights.<\/p>\n

\"GIGtoJFKaa16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The service on this flight was excellent as always on American Airlines international flights, but the food left me in total disgust. I wish the Beef Filet would be replaced instead of the rough and dry Chateaubriand. I would almost rather have the pizza as a pre-arrival breakfast instead of the nasty omelet. After the flight was delayed for 24 hours<\/a>, all I wanted to do was get home.<\/p>\n
