I've done a fair number of hops between SFO and LAX on VX, and always had an extremely enjoyable experience. I've used the RED system for ordering snacks on these flights (Pringles, if I'm not mistaken, and one time chocolate chip cookies, but can't say I tried for a meal item), and also found that ordering a drink through RED ended up getting me my beverage sooner than traditional beverage service.

There were no complimentary snacks (do any airlines even do that anymore?), but complimentary basic beverages. I haven't done those hops in a while, but I often found that SFO-LAX on VX was cheaper than any other airline.
