US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-2005 America West merger) - ORD to CLT to PUJ

Mr. Balima, Master Balima and I will be flying on Oct 7 from ORD to CLT on the 7:15 flight. I'd like to know if the flight is generally on time? Our tickets say that a meal will be served. True? or is it a meal to buy or more a snack. I'd like to know if we should eat prior to getting on board. This flight is a little early for us, so I'd like to know if we can sleep in a little longer :p
Also, we are connecting thru to a flight to Punta Cana. Anyone been? Any info?

Thanks in advance :)

wow I can believe it I have flown this route exactly a year ago. In coach there is nothing to or from chicago and charlotte. however from clt to punta cana they serve a meal and going around the coach cabin 3 times with drinks maybe now less!
