Yeah, I eat sushi all the time and if it stinks enough to stink up a plane then I think you got yourself some bad stuff.

Just bring what you want with you. WN doesn't do long international flights and, even if it did, it doesn't have catering contracts, so that's the end of that.

On routes like LAX-BWI, or AFAIK routes over 3.5 or 4 hrs, WN FAs do make two rounds of snack and drink service up and down the cabin. They also give the bigger snack bags.

Food service on southwest airlines

With longer flights over 3.5 hrs, you will be offered a variety Crackers, Cookies, Pretzels, Peanuts and free non-alcoholic drinks/water...as much as you want, unlimited snacking!! The flight attendants come through the cabin offering snacks from a very large basket,very frequently, about once per hour and always generous, to give you more snacks on request. They allow food brought on board, actually just bring a Sandwich or Oscar Meyer "Lunchables" kit/small, inexpensive and your get a meat, cheese protein, which are perfect for inflight food! They are light, yet filling,...bring two! You can have a complete lunch type meal with the lunchables or sandwich and the in-flight snacks offered. You will be to satisfied,you until you reach your destination, and then can have a full meal! As a Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant of 37 years, we see all types of food on our long haul flts of ver3.5 hrs! I remember once, a Thanksgiving Day flight I was working, a family of 6, brought 9 full meals turkey dinners from the terminal restaurant on boars to consume! Oh, the extra 3 meals...were for the crew working the flights on that plane that day, to share amongst us! That's the best part of working for WN, our PAX are just the best!

Can a Lunchable be used to save a seat?

I certainly won't sit next to you if I know you have lunchables.

It might be difficult to find Oscar Meyer at international outstations, so here is a coupon to help!

Interesting. Were the boars service animals?

They were Seeing Eye Boars. At least according to their vests. The handler didn't have any issues reading the Sunday newspaper he brought aboard though.
