I fly AA only a couple of times a year, usually on short flights of an hour or two. This week, I flew ANC-DFW-MSY (economy). Departure from ANC was at 6:15am with scheduled arrival at DFW 6.5 hours later. Onboard, there was a drink service with Biscoff cookies. When I asked about snack boxes for purchase (I had done a little research in anticipation of being hungry) I was told by the friendly crew that there were none onboard. They had almonds and potato chips on offer which is "what we usually have on this flight". Fortunately, I had packed a few snacks but I was pretty hungry by the time we landed and have rarely appreciated an airport Chick-fil-A so much!

I am accustomed to being able to purchase a snack box (JetBlue, Alaska, etc) on a long-ish flight which is really handy when I am traveling from somewhere without a kitchen in which to prepare something to eat. I know that many of you are regular AA customers with many flights under your belt and am curious if this is typical of AA or some sort of fluke?
