First Class got an upgrade
Imagine wanting seconds in First Class
We're dishing out something new in First Class on domestic flights, including heartier meals and tastier snacks. Look for the new menu and snacks on flights to the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii later this year.
What to expect | |
|---|---|
| < 1.5 hours | Snack on a Biscoff sweet biscuit or savory cocktail mix. |
| 1.5 - 3.5 hours | Enjoy our new upgraded snack basket with tastier, specialty snacks. |
| 3.5 + hours | Taste heartier meals and more vegetarian-friendly dishes. |
New snack basket
Take your pick from a mix of sweet and salty snacks. Enjoy Synder’s Pretzels, Boulder Canyon Kettle Chips or Emerald Walnuts & Almonds for a salty treat. Or satisfy your sweet tooth with Chocobillys Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Nature’s Bakery Whole Wheat Fig Bar or Nonni’s Biscotti.
Breakfast (5 AM - 9 AM)
Start the day off right with a choice of two hot entrees like a spinach tomato strata served with roasted potatoes and turkey sausage or cheese blintzes with blueberry sauce. Or, choose something on the light side like granola and yogurt. Either way, we'll serve your breakfast with a warm biscuit and fresh fruit.
Lunch (9:01 AM - 3 PM)
It's time to recharge! Your midday meal includes a fresh salad and appetizer like a Mediterranean bruchetta with mozzarella. For your entree, choose a hot meal like roasted teriyaki chicken breast with sugar snap peas and jasmine rice or something lighter like a classic cobb salad with Italian herb vinaigrette. To finish, indulge in a red velvet square with chocolate sauce or another delicious dessert.
Dinner (3:01 PM - 8 PM)
Feeling hungry? Dine on a fresh salad and an appetizer like beef and lentil salad with hummus. You'll be delighted with an entree like braised beef short rib topped with stone ground mustard sauce and served with red skin mashed potatoes and haricot vert. Make it a sweet ending with dessert, such as turtle cheesecake with caramel sauce.
