Every airline has different policies. Probably none of them serves food on very short flights. And, they are getting stingier

Good luck!

Shortest flights I've ever got a meal on in First was ATL-JFK and ATL-LGA on Delta... but these are considered "Premium" routes and most Delta flights of this length get no meal service.

more often than not short flights do not serve free meals. and i can assure you that they charge sky-rocket prices for their food especially on the mineral water. the food doesnt even tastes good.

I just flown in F class by earlier January 2008 from last trip to FLL and returns back to PHX. Its wonderful where I ate the dinners into F class from FLL-ATL-PHX twice. I am flying returns home to PHX. It is long flight from ATL-PHX but, FA is gave me the the meals. I think its absolutely amazing for my entire trip. I will continuation where I am flying again for next future trip to give me upgradeable into F class. This is wonderful where I flown on DL from last year on October 2007 & January 2008. I flown on Delta during long flight is almost 4 hours in-flight.
