Back in the 90s, I think they even tried serving beverages on LEX-CVG (DL mainline) which was only around 20 min. if I remember correctly.

I have done PDX-SEA many times but in a CRJ900. If running on them you get beverage service, when trying to make of time, it's a no go.

I had to do a Q once on PDX-GEG, swore I wouldn't do if again.
