I have a hard time digesting the "food on short-haul flights" fragment. (pun intended) Food on short-haul flights has mostly gone the way of the dodo bird.

That being said, KL does offer some snacks (depending on the length of the flight) and they are free of charge. I wouldn't count on that if I was hungry (it's best to be prepared), but the snacks are there and they're included in the ticket price.
