Frankly this is terrible policy by Alaska - they can easily have some sandwiches for sale even if there is wastage but not sure why they don't.
Wifi is free with tmobile etc, bring an ipad etc for entertainment.
Watch the T-Mobile '*"...its free for some. The entire flight for up to 4 flights per year on Go5G and some of the older plans. Unlimited is via Go5G Plus and Next plans and some of the older plans, mostly the Max ones. If you don't have one of those credits available, there's the offer of "1 hour" free during the flight on the non-unlimited plans. Caveat, that's AS, AA, DL and UL, 100% of domestic and select international.
