Question What's for dinner?

How can I find out? I don't think that the info is too readily available on CO.O.L. I already got the EUA, but I want to know if I should grab dinner before I get on board.

CO 1127 tonight, MDW-EWR.

Thanks!

According to CO's website, that flight has no food. The flight is right at two hours which puts it right at the break point between peanuts and a light snack in Y. So you may get a sandwich (the website is sometimes wrong on which flights get a meal and which don't) or you may get a beverage and nuts. If you're hungry I'd get food before getting on the plane.

The flight has had a meal for the past 6 months in F, and a mini-sandwidch ("light snack?!?!?!") in Y. Sometimes the food is tolerable, but more often it is not. I guess the real answer to my question is that there is no way to tell what the caterers are going to load (which is really what my original question was about), so I'm on my own to figure it out.

Thanks to all.

Take a careful look at your reservation on-line. No food in Y doesn't always mean no food in F. Just below the departure city of each flight, it should give you a meal status (in very tiny print). If you were flying in Y on one of these flights, it might say:

Class: Economy (B) Meal: None.
And if you got the upgrade and a meal is offered in F, then it would say:

Class: First (R) Meal: Snack. No Special Meal Offered.

if anything is offered in F it will be a "snack."

breakfast = warm bagel, fruit plate. sometimes you may get a choice of a hot breakfast sandwhich and fruit or cereal and fruit.

lunch/dinner = a salad with chicken or seafood or the cold cut plate with crackers, a couples choices of cold cuts and some fruit, cheese and veg variety. sometimes you may get a soup and sandwhich.

"go hungry or worse ?"

How about waitin' till you get off the plane to spend the $7-$10? Who knows, you might get some vittles, and even if you don't you ain't gonna starve to death on a 2 hour flight. Besides you'll get a good buzz with the free booze on an empty stomach and with the reduced cabin pressure inside the aluminum tube.
