Catering is the issue many times but they cater in groups of 4 or 6 at a time I believe. I have never heard of being able to call ahead as it is at checkin only, thus why would they care if anyone calls ahead. Get to the airport early and be there when they start accepting check in's 4 hours ahead or whatever that particular station allows.
