Upper meal pre order

Someone recently posted a few links that are useful ahead of a flight. Specifically I'm interested in the upper meal pre order. I'm inside 48 hours now and still nothing.

Can anyone share it again please?

To add to what Mitcha has said, we did not receive an e mail before we left last week, but if you go to “My Booking” you can order from the meal tab there

Looking at https://preselect.virginatlantic.com I can only see 3 menu choices. I am sure I have seen somewhere a larger menu, including a rogan josh I was wanting to try.

Is the menu more limited on MAN - ATL maybe?

Pretty sure menu options are lower at man than at LHR

Interesting, I had a different menu when returning from Austin just over a week ago. Are there different menus depending on departure airport when leaving USA?

I've been sent my link for a flight later this week, and trying to choose between the butter chicken curry on the preselect or the chicken and mushroom pie. Anybody have thoughts?

They are both bad.

Thank you. At least there will be no FOMO and I feel less like my choice matters! Not into fish so that's an easy no.

I had the butter chicken and thought it was nice, but on the small side. Husband had the pie and enjoyed it too

No email received for flight next week but the preselect address above worked a treat and have got my preorder in. Having to come back BA due to availability and no pre-order option there! Not sure why they don't have the option showing on the main VS manage booking screen though, it only let you select a special meal.
