News / Alaska Airlines expands First Class and main cabin meals, snacks and drinks, offering the most comprehensive onboard food and beverage program of any U.S. airline
Fresh fare in the air is back!
As more of Alaska's guests fly again, the airline is thoughtfully and safely expanding food and beverage service on their flights, part of a process that started earlier this year.
With Alaska's reinvigorated service, they're now offering an expanded selection of freshly prepared, West Coast inspired First Class meals on all flights more than 670 miles and hot meals on flights longer than 1,100 miles. Premium Class and main cabin guests can pre-order freshly prepared wraps or Alaska Airlines' famous Fruit and Cheese platter on all flights over 1,100 miles and packaged snacks on shorter flights.
A full beverage service including Starbucks Coffee, Teavana Tea, individual cans of soda, craft beer West Coast wines and premium spirits are available in all cabins on flights more than 400 miles.
Enhancements to Alaska Airlines food and beverage service include:
- Expanded hot meal options in First Class during breakfast, lunch and dinner service on mainline flights longer than 1,100 miles. New seasonal entrees include Guajillo Chile-Lime Salad with ancient grains, roasted broccoli and sweet potato with a roasted lemon crema, and Miso Marinated Cod with sesame garlic farro, sauteed yu choy, bell peppers and shitake mushrooms in a sesame-miso butter sauce. Guests can choose from three menu selections on all meal flights
- Full tray service in First Class – including Schoenwald porcelain and compostable linen and silverware – has resumed on routes longer than 670 miles
- Alaska offers a full selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages available in all cabins with multiple cart services on flights more than 1,100 miles. We feature craft beer by Fremont Brewing, and as a new summer beer option we're serving Kona Longboard Island Lager on board. Plus, we serve West Coast wines curated exclusively for us from Broken Earth Winery in Paso Robles, California, and Canoe Ridge Vineyard in Columbia Valley, Washington
- Alaska makes pre-ordering easy so their guests can rest assured they'll get their favorites. With Alaska's industry leading pre-order program, selecting First Class meals from the airlines' mobile app can happen two weeks before a flight and up to one hour prior to departure. That includes pre-ordering Alaska's popular Fruit and Cheese Platter. In main cabin, fresh food items are available up to 20 hours prior to departure and picnic packs are available up to one hour prior to departure
- On Alaska Airlines' shorter flights between 670-1,099 miles, the airline added more snacks. The airline has brought back their popular Northwest Deli Picnic Pack which includes Deep River potato chips, Old Wisconsin Turkey Stick, Madi K's Whole Natural Almonds, Gilman White Cheddar Cheese Stick and Mandy's Dark Chocolate Cookie Thins. The picnic packs can be pre-ordered up to one hour before departure and can also be purchased on board with a credit card or stored form of payment
- In First Class, guests are treated to a fully recyclable, box-shaped carton of water, sealed with a plant-based cap. Each Boxed Water carton is made from sustainably harvested trees and the multi-filtered water goes through a proprietary eight-step purification – giving it a clean, crisp taste
Safety will always remain Alaska Airlines' top consideration on board. The airline is partnering closely with epidemiologists and their internal safety experts as they implement new food and beverage service on Alaska's flights. The airline will continue to enforce the federal mandate requiring the guests to wear masks over their nose and mouth during travel. Guests can briefly lift their masks for eating and drinking.
