You can also order liquor and mixers at no charge, with the advice being to place your order as soon as the system becomes available because with a short flight, the best you can do is expect a couple rounds of service if the flight is smooth. Obviously with a longer flight (e.g. SFO-JFK or SEA-LAX) you will have more time to order and the In Flight Team will have more time to serve you.

On longer flights, food such as sandwiches, wraps, salads, cheese trays, etc. will be available for order, at no charge.

Don't forget with MCS you also get a free checked bag and early boarding for you and your carry on. You also get 38" of pitch.
