Snacks are something WN offers and we are simply trying to understand the details of the policy. Would you post a comment in the AA/UA/DL forum about no need for determining upgrade priority because somehow, some way you manage to get to your destination in a coach seat?

2) I think the moderators can decide whether there is the need for a thread (I do *think* this one should be merged with the one to which I linked - but I am not a moderator and neither are you).

3) I'm glad for you that you have never ever had a beverage or snack or visited the lavatory on a flight less than 3 hours. Unfortunately, I have done each of these on flights less than 3 hours (and sometimes they really helped the flight be more enjoyable for me).
