As of 9/21:
Flights under 900 miles
Flights over 2,200 miles* / over 4.5 hours
**Some domestic and short-haul international flights will include a fruit and cheese plate instead of tray meal service and will also have snack basket service before landing.
cmd320 notation (unofficial): the 2,200mi + section for F and J is a bit misleading. Domestic flights within the continental US other than premium transcons (JFK-LAX/SFO, MIA-LAX on 77W) do not receive a full meal and instead only see a sandwich/fruit and cheese plate.

Ah, but the Box is the Bowl! don't you remember as kids the side of the box had slits you cut open and poured the milk right into the box. and then you ate it right out of the box! Looks like a school cafeteria breakfast!

I did not know this LOL wouldn't the milk just leak through? Or do you pour it in directly into the plastic inside the box, that the cereal is in?

You used the inner bag like this. The bag was perforated with an "H" shape opening too.

I got a bag of corn nuts. FA gave away most of the snacks to the first two rows leaving me with a choice of corn nuts or Biscoff dog biscuit.
