I do NOT like to eat on a crowded flight after everyone arrives, so will often wolf it down before my fellow pax join me onboard. I've noticed that even the exit row stays open a bit longer when onions are on the menu.

Most airports will have some type of acceptable food to last a 4 hour trip, or arrive a bit early. We plan for airport dining when our grandkids join us, and it certainly makes the flight easier.
