I think it depends on the lengh of the flight and the type of aircraft. I have been on some recent 757s and 737-900s that had hot breakfasts.

Ok, you may be profitable.
But I expect a lot of us whining on this boards are not really profitable. I generally go with 'cheapest' to save my company money (and because I have this realization that if they spend the "profits" on airfare there is less for salary! :) ) I really think the main difference between the Elites and the kettles is what I pointed out. I was willing to pay more for a flight that worked into my schedule, vs. being able to post and tell my friends that I just booked a $150 ticket on DL. Had I been paying out of my pocket and was on personal travel, that 2 hours would be well worth the $200 in fare costs (especially with a family). |
Cross Country from Florida to Salt Lake

How long was the flight? Cold meals, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, are typically served on mid-con (900 to 1,500 mile) flights.

New member here...sorry for the lack of info
I usually fly cross country---Orlando to Salt Lake being the first leg...
And the past several times it's been a cereal option. I asked the flight attendant why and she said they are serving less and less warm breakfast meals. So--- I now grab breakfast before I hop on the plane. Sorry---but I see this as cost cutting and nothing more. BTW: I like the omelet. :)

Note to OP: You need to provide more information, like routing and equipment. As others have noted, 900-1,500 miles is cold breakfast (i.e. cereal) only. If your flight was mainline in that range or DL Connection of any length, cold is all you get. You think this is AA? ;)

Carbohydrate Load
I don't about you, but I have no problem with the cereal...on my flight on Friday from DTW-SLC....it was one carbohydrate after another....
Cereal (Raisin Bran)....almost all carbs Hot Croissant.....all carbs Strawberry Yogurt......lots of carbs (a little protein) Cut up pineapple and melon (all carbs) I'm sort of surprised they didn't offer potatoes in there, so we could collect all of the carbohydrate groups together. Just a little protein...even a hard boiled egg would have been fine with me....even plain Greek yogurt would have been OK....and it wouldn't have cost any more than what they had there. Oh...don't forget...they had strawberry jam (more sugar) for the croissant. |

McDonald's has many offerings that would be better at many meals than what passes for F food. While I enjoy the selection, look at how people on this board go on and on about the hamburger in F. Really? That's what you get from the $99 plus my free upgrade crowd.
...and I say this as a guy who buys most tix in less than 7 days and do 4 to 6 legs a week on average with few under $600 and most close to $1k... and I am far from unique... |
