2. There is no continental breakfast on the LAX flights, unless there has been a recent change.

I haven't flown to/from Hawaii since late last year, but it's interesting that the meal selections have stayed the same for so long. I suppose that since these routes are so leisure vs. business-heavy, that AA assumes variety isn't as necessary as on routes where business travelers might be making more routine trips.
