I think its dependent on time flown, I recall reading somewhere it was based on how long the flight is.

"domestic routes over 1,500 miles and on hub-to-hub flights over 800 miles or two hours or longer." via TPG - I think EWR - ORD might fall just short of that... unfortunately

Don't know what the SFO-ORD red-eyes are getting nowadays.
Not sure about SFO but did SEA - ORD recently and can attest that the options were the same there too.

Any thoughts on what IAD-DFW at 8:15 AM and DFW-IAD at 5:15 PM might look like up in F? Hot meal? It says snack on the itin.

Choice of sandwich (with meat or vegetarian) or snack box.

Thank you, FT brain trust! I'm rusty on all things flying and domestic was never my forte, so appreciate the insta response.

I will bring something to eat, based on what I've read about the sandwiches and bring the snack boxes home to my kids. The Buffalo Trace will be mine, however!

It is sacrilegious, but I've actually enjoyed the sandwiches.

Its really good in the air, really enjoyed it. I wound up getting an extra from an FA once, but it didn't taste as good on the ground interestingly enough.

Are the Old Fashioneds available on all mainline domestic routes? Or just transcons? What about international?

Can't comment on international, but it's been available on all domestic flights I've taken, not just transcon. However, it seems that only a few are stocked so grab one on the first service or they may be gone.

Only two are boarded on each flight. If the FA cannot find them, tell them they are in the red wine drawer.

Exactly. So many times I’ve seen a sheepish look come across the face of FAs after they insist there are no Old Fashioneds boarded only to find them after I tell them to check the wine drawer!

But you’re right—only two per flight. And domestic/Canada/Latin America only, not longhaul.

Managed to get three of them on EWR-SFO early this year. It did take a while for the FA to come back and deliver the last one, so I guess the extra one was hidden around somewhere.
