Choose your meal before your flight.
First Class Pre-Select is available on most Boeing and Airbus flights over 3.5 hours. That's 100 flights daily, including all coast-to-coast and West Coast to/from Hawaii flights; we're planning to offer it on all flights in 2019. First Class guests can choose between two main dishes, or have an Alaska's Signature Fruit and Cheese platter, served on a plate.
To get started, make sure you’re using the latest version of the Alaska Airlines mobile app.
Here's how First Class Pre-Select works
First Class meal options can be reserved from 24 hours to two weeks prior to your flight.
Within the app, head to the Trips section and then select your upcoming flight.
Once you're looking at the full details for your upcoming flight, scroll down and click the "Food menu" option.
Next, you'll see a menu of the complimentary meals available on your flight.
Choose the meal you'd like, then click the arrow to confirm your choice.
Presto! Your meal is pre-selected. The flight attendant will deliver it during your flight's meal service.
Note: if you change flights, your meal choice will not transfer to the new flight. You'll need to make a new choice within that new reservation.

When I try to pre-order for TPA-SEA it says that the menu isn't available even though I'm well within the pre-order period. Maybe the menu will load in time -- we'll see.

I had my second trip with preordering recently(both were Seattle to DC flights) and again the flight attendants did not have any idea that I had pre ordered. One said that she didn't know how to look that up. I noticed someone across the aisle asking for a fruit and cheese platter and being told that they don't have them up front but she could get one from the back.

There are two differences that I've noticed. First is the obvious one where it is on a plate instead of in the tray. The second one is that it looks like 1 1/2 of the coach trays, if not 2 of them. It's a *lot* of fruit that comes on the plate in first.

I don't think so...we always SPLIT the cheese plate in Y, and we each get 2 slices of apple. And while that looks like a lot of grapes, sometimes you get a small bunch of red and a small bunch of green. I think it looks exactly the same (although that brand of crackers does not look familiar). And the Y one includes the chocolate, too.

(I originally truncated the information, because I didn't want to re-type - no cut and paste out of the app). The description in the app for the Beef - Braised beef short rib with Chianti rosemary demi and crispy sweet onions roasted garlic mashed potatoes, buttered asparagus. Dijon Chicken - Dijon mustard roasted chicken breast with roasted garlic red wine demi, sautéed haricot vert, rich brie risotto. Stuffed Chicken Breast - Stuffed chicken breast with ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes and basil with tomato caper sauce, angel hair pasta, sautéed zucchini and sweet onions.

So is this similar to what the app always shows? They don't say what kind of sauce, what vegetables, etc? Or was it truncated here for less typing purposes? (strange that there are 2 chicken dishes).

That is strange with two chicken options. I wish they had a pasta option. Looks good though!
