Redeye transcon meal or not?
Hi folks - I'm looking at some redeye flights from L.A. to JFK on the Labor Day weekend but could not find a place where I can see the meal information... more specifically, I'm looking at:
Alaska 1418 Los Angeles, CA (LAX) 9:30 pm Fri, Aug 31 to New York-Kennedy (JFK) + 5:40 am Sat, Sep 1
Will this flight have a regular meal or just a small protein plate? I'll leave from my work directly so a meal on the flight would be great! Thanks for your input!

If this is a good reference point on my red-eye SEA-DFW flight I got a chicken cesar salad+ Cookie and of course a couple of those Crater Lake Espresso Vodkas with Half and Half and Coke. I was the only passenger who partook so the FA brought me seconds on the snack and kept filling up my drink. Before landing she came by with nuts and a beverage. Then I had breakfast, shower and drinks at the DFW Centurion Lounge.
This trip started in SJC where I went to the Club@SJC then flew to SEA and got a snack as well followed by 2 hours in the SEA Boardroom with more snacks and drinks. The flight from DFW-Santa Fe was on a small American Regional Jet with no FC but upon showing the pursuer my F Alaska boarding pass and explaining how F is not available he offered me anything I wanted. So I got a Bloody Mary and Trail Mix. All this for 25,0000 AA Miles+$5.50 in taxes. I returned from ABQ on Southwest.

Much better than any other airlines whose poor excuse is Biscoffs for a Trans Con Red Eye. On a United Hawaii-SFO Red Eye I had this delicious Soup, Cheese Platter and Hot Bread and for dessert I got a Fudge Brownie with Ice Cream. For me I will eat whenever I am served be it the delicious 1 AM curry I had from Bangkok-Beijing with two Beers!

My PDX-JFK was just the slightly larger hummus plate (basically 2x the hummus + a carrot over the SFO->PDX hummus plate.) Seems like a little less food than what we used to get, and far less than the Virgin America half sandwich + soup I had on my last red-eye.
Really just wish Alaska would do something simple and mildly filling like a half soup + sandwich or the fruit+cheese platter.
