That should technically be the
nonstop flight, as there is at least one (sometimes two) direct IAH-ANC flights that stop in SEA with no change of aircraft or crew. Those flights aren't eligible for special meals. But yes, the seasonal nonstop IAH-ANC flights are eligible for special meals, which is a very good thing, considering those flights are nearly 1,000 miles longer than EWR-West Coast flights.
