> a meal at 4+ hours
Man, I can't remember the last time I had a meal on a domestic flight. I just flew from BOS-SFO and was thrilled that JetBlue gave us unlimited snacks on the 6 hour flight. But thinking back, I realize now that cross-country flights used to always have a meal. And reasonably-sized seats.
- eek2121 4y agoMy last few international (North America -> Europe) didn't have meals. Booze? Yes. Snacks? Yes. Meals? No. I actually plan on traveling first class next time because of this.

- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoWho are you flying with that isn't giving a meal? Norwegian is the only carrier I know with optional meal service. If you're the carrier - it's bad business to have hangry passengers.
- gnicholas 4y agoWhich cities did you travel between? I don't travel to EU much, but I could imagine that flying between London and NYC might be the same amount of travel time as NYC-SF. That said, we all expect more of international flights, and this is a really disappointing data point to learn of.
- qingcharles 4y agoI've never experienced this in decades of slumming it in coach back and forth across the Atlantic. Pretty much the minimum flight time from NA->Europe is 6+ hours. Have you actually checked the price differential between coach and first class? It's like two orders of magnitude. Might be better off stopping at Mickey Dees at JFK before boarding.
- Shaanie 4y agoDoes first class mean something different to you? A first class ticket is ridiculously expensive and all airlines don't even offer them. A business class ticket is absolutely going to have meals included, and won't require robbing a bank.
- alexanderchr 4y agoDomestic business is called first class in the US for some reason, so that’s where the confusion comes from.
