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.

Flagship transcon in June was fantastic, except that the only pax in J that refused to wear a mask was the one seated next to me.
Thanks! I've been wondering with the latest changes whether Flagship meal service would remain on this flight. I've seen some great LAX-NYC J fares via MIA and may check it out on my next trip back.

LAS-DFW
Boeing 737-800 with PTV's ^
First Class
Snack bag containing a small bottle of Nestle water, sanitizing wipe, and pretzels upon boarding.
Once in the air, fruit and cheese trays passed out. The trays came with plastic utensils. VERY attentive service with frequent refills from the elderly FA that earned him an AAplause certificate.

Anyone do MIA-LAX LAX-MIA recently. When I first booked about a month ago they coded the morning flights breakfast. Then reduced it to refreshments. Now its back to breakfast again but no preorder at the 30 day mark. PS trip is in late Aug. 321 one way 77W the other if that makes any diff. Only two classes being sold each flight.

By contrast, MIA-SFO still shows refreshments only.

I'm set to fly LAX-DCA-PWM in F on Saturday (8/1). Am I assuming correctly, that there will be no meal service on the LAX-DCA segment? And, what is AA's policy on bringing a meal from home to eat in F?

Why would there be a policy? As long as it can get through security (meaning no liquids) you can eat it.
