How to find out what the meal service will be for a specific Alaska Air flight:
1) On the website, use the "Explore" tab and select "Flight Schedules" from the left-hand side of the drop-down menu.

2) Plug in your city-pair and your week of travel, and the site will pull up all of the Alaska Air flights for that week.

3) Find your flight number on the list. From there you can see what's offered for the meal service. There are two columns corresponding to first class and coach.
A) In first class the codes are (B-breakfast; L-lunch; D-dinner; S-snack).

B) For coach the section may be blank (meaning beverage service and for-purchase cold snack-packs). Or it may show "F" or "F,F" to indicate there are other items for purchase on longer routes like a cheese plate, or in some cases the Beecher's breakfast sandwich or one of the Tom Douglas items.

What *specifically* is offered in first class for B, L, D, or S is the source of much discussion in this thread.
Sometimes a S (snack) will seem more substantial than what's offered as L (lunch). That's where searching this thread can be of assistance.

As near as I can tell for the coach section:
Blank = snack packs only;
"F" = snack packs and cheese plates offered;
"F,F" = snack packs, cheese plate, plus one other item on offer.
Please feel free to edit if that assumption is not correct.

For anyone desiring a more structured or organized submission, here is a template (You'll need to add a / before the last bracketed B as in [/b]):

I'll have yours.

Meanwhile, on AS 619 this morning (SEA-LAS, 10:00 am departure) in F, cheese plate. No pictures because I eated it.

I'm flying SEA-STL in F on the E175, 3:30 pm departure. It's listed as "lunch". I was impressed with breakfast on a 739 from STL-SEA a couple of months ago, but we'll be getting home well after dinner hour, and a tiny lunch doesn't sound adequate. So, for an off-topic follow-up question: Best places to purchase carry-on food in SEA?

Such a far off-topic and non-AS question should be posted and will be better answered in the Pacific Northwest forum.

8/9 SEA-PHX 920p departure: Cookies. As usual I donated mine to the FAs or pilots or whomever wanted them.

Perhaps the original question wasn't clear: what can I expect for lunch in F on AS 2792, from SEA-STL, departing at 3:30pm? It's a Horizon E175.

Thanks in advance, and I'll post the SEA carry-on food follow-up in the correct forum.

definitely a change from last week when I was in Row 2 and all they had left *was* the quiche!! :-D

I wouldnt mind the granola if they had a way to make it heartier. But Ive had it like 4x this summer. Just wish it was something else.

even cereal with a "super" fruit plate would be a nice touch.

This is a nice option on the mid-con flights (ANC-SEA for example).

Its an atrocious option IMO on a transcon.

I've got a wonderful suggestion for Alaska Airlines, There are way too many pieces of gnocchi on the plate, I count say 6-7, how about we cut that in half and arrange that symmetrically with those green squash pieces?

Alaska has the worst domestic F food bar none, but the big smiles and best attitude makes up for that. For comparison, here is what American served on my outbound on a redeye!

to be fair, that AA flight you posted is a premium transcon menu which has significantly upgraded service compared to the JFK-las transcontinental flight posted two posts below in the same thread. Not that either meal looks bad, just a difference in service level. AS serves pretty much the same thing on any transcon route as far as I can tell.

SEA-KOA, AS807

PDB was water

Warm nuts before dinner

Dinner choices were chicken or pork roast. Two pork medallions, mashed sweet potatoes & bok choy were delicious.

Dessert was a chocolate souffle top with whipped cream and toasted, chopped, nuts (almonds I think). It was delicious too.

Wine glass refilled as needed. Great flight.

My 8 September AS500 flight shows NO meal service. Also, no meals indicated for any SEA-IND-SEA flights. ?????

I recall reading about this not being coded right for food in F.

This one should be catered like other midcon routes. See menus/descriptions for SEA-IND and vice versa in posts 602 and 626 upthread.
