4pm EWR-ORD "snack or brunch" what does that mean
 

I have a flight in January. Its Continental from EWR-ORD at 4pm 737-800. It lists the first class meal as Snack or Brunch? What can i expect?

Probably the infamous continental snack plate. It;s pretty decent for a snack on a US airline IMHO. It's a lot more than UA has on the route, which is usually the pick 1 snack basket.

Here's a thread with CO meal pics if you don't see it in the bump I gave it.

Or you could fly AA and get a hot meal out of LGA at 4 p.m. or out of EWR at 5 p.m. You know like steak, salmon, chicken, pasta. That sort of thing. Something that CO appears to offer on one flight: the 7:15 p.m.

On the return, AA starts serving dinner at 3 p.m.

It just means snack. The IATA meal code "S" is named "Snack or Bunch" so there is no further granularity. There is no closer option except for "O" which is "Cold Meal" but that can be a little misleading for the cold plate snack.

So i can expect the plate with meat, cheese, fruit, and pepperage farm cookies it looks like from the photos on the first reply
