Are meals served on a CA to Hawaii flight?
Didn't want to jack that Mai Tai thread. I can't even recall the last time I had an airline meal (I always liked em). Too many short leg flights.
On a SFO-OGG (or LAX/SFO to either HNL or OGG), do you get a meal? Is it free or is it a separate charge? What do you get?
Our first flight out is 35 at 9:42am.
Return flight is 34 at 1:20pm.
Thanks. Very curious.

You get the opportunity to purchase food from United. There will be the fresh food option...

In Economy, no; Hawaii is still domestic and there are no meals served in Economy on domestic routes. Snack boxes and fresh items (sandwiches, salads) should be available for purchase, however.
In First, there would be a meal or snack, depending on the time of day.

And to boil that down even further... The only flights without breakfast lunch or dinner meals in first on the Hawaii routes are the redeye flights departing from Hawaii. They have snacks which is the fruit & cheese plate or some other snack.

Economy is Food for Purchase, boxes (yuk, too much sodium) and fresh (not too bad)
Business and First have meals (sandwiches, etc.)
While the fresh isn't terrible you might want to buy at the airport and take it along. We flew E+ and brought sandwiches and Top Raman (sp?) in cups for the kids. Always good to have something with you.

Sigh - HI meal service has nosedived since last year. I always have to pause and lament about it.
And, my favorite UA maneuver, no food in Y if you happen to fly UA 1 - ORD - HNL. Longer than most East Coast - Europe flights (IAD - AMS, for example).

Chicken or pasta on recent LAX to HNL flight in first
We left LAX at 5:02 pm and had these choices. The chicken was okay; much better quality than when the food contractor changed (maybe those complaints had an effect). The fresh salad was a decent size and the black forest cake was edible. Had better roll selection on a flight in January, but it was the standard roll.

You will have a snack choice. In March on a HNL-LAX redeye I was offered either a cold chicken breast with veggies or a deli/fruit plate, both served with warm nuts.

I totally boogered my post and meant to say that the redeye flights have fruit & cheese plate or another type of snack. While all the rest of the flights have meals. My intent was to point out that all west bound flights have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
