It is lame that AS doesn't offer special meals on these flights, but I'm sure somebody has crunched the numbers and decided that they come out ahead this way (customers they lose vs savings from not having to deal with special meals). Otoh, most airline special meals are quite nasty, and vegetarians are well-advised to bring their own food on board (my wife is a vegetarian, and in years of flying C and F domestically and internationally, we've seen some truly disgusting vegetarian options).

The options at some airports (most notably, LIH) will be severely limited, assuming the vegetarian wishes to avoid eating something totally awful or unhealthy.

Not all packs are suitable for vegetarians, and the availability of the packs seems to be a matter of luck. In any case, a snack pack hardly replaces a proper meal.
