Alaska Airlines elevates inflight menu with hot meals

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Alaska Airlines is enhancing its premium onboard menu by reintroducing hot meals to its inflight retail offerings in the Main Cabin.

This enhancement is propelled by the airline’s pre-order program, which ensures a diverse selection pioneered by Chef Tony Wright.

“We’re known for an inflight menu that is more thoughtfully curated with care. For a while now, our guests have often asked us if we’re ever going to bring back hot meals in the Main Cabin,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, managing director of guest products at Alaska Airlines. “It’s been difficult to keep it a secret – but for more than a year, our team has quietly worked behind the scenes taste testing the best hot food options with our culinary chef and creating a West Coast-inspired menu. Now no matter where they sit, guests will get to taste our world class food and beverages.”

Effective immediately, Premium Class and Main Cabin passengers on most flights exceeding 1,100 miles will have a choice of up to five chef-curated dishes, featuring at least one hot meal selection.

These options, such as the Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter, are exclusively available for pre-order purchase.

“It was important to the Alaska team to create a menu based on guest feedback. The creative process of selecting meals that made the most sense for the West Coast-based airline and then sourcing the freshest ingredients was a labor of love for all of us who were involved in developing this menu,” said Chef Tony Wright. “This airline truly cares about creating a premium onboard experience and we hope everyone experiences that with every bite of their food.”
