Our newly expanded chef-curated menu is now
available for purchase in Premium Class and Main Cabin
SEATTLE, May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is elevating its premium onboard
menu with the return of hot meals to our inflight retail menu in
the Main Cabin. Fueled by our industry leading pre-order program,
our inflight menu continues to offer more choices than any other
U.S. airline.
Our team secretly worked behind the scenes
for months to create this expansion of premium hot food
meals.
Starting today, Premium Class and Main Cabin guests on most
flights over 1,100 miles* will be able to choose from up to five
chef-curated dishes, including at least one hot meal option. Along
with our freshly prepared food offerings like our Signature Fruit
& Cheese Platter, our hot meals are only available for
pre-order purchase.
Over the last few months, our Food & Beverage teams have
been working to elevate our already premium in-flight meals,
including expanding our hot meal options on most medium- to
long-haul flights.
"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."
Meet our chef
Born and bred amidst the flavorful tapestry of London's hotel restaurant scene, Chef Tony has
collaborated with our LSG Sky Chefs locations around the world.
In the last couple of months Chef Tony has had the pleasure of
working closely with Alaska Airlines. Through his culinary
ingenuity and unwavering commitment, he continues to elevate the
gastronomic experience for passengers worldwide, setting new
standards of excellence in the skies.
"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."
Our employees give an honest review
Before today's menu launch, our employees taste tested our new
meal options and gave us their honest feedback.
"I love breakfast, so the Carnitas Breakfast Bowl was my
favorite. It's a classic pairing of slow roasted pork, eggs and
potatoes, but with flavors that work well together to strike a
delicious balance," said Naomi S.G., flight attendant at Alaska
Airlines.
The Pretzel Roll Sliders were an immediate win for Alaska
Airlines Flight Attendant Krystal G.
"I'm from Hawaiʻi and once you said it was on KING'S HAWAIIAN®
slider buns, I was sold! It's definitely not your traditional
burger – it has an elevated, well-rounded taste," said Krystal.
"Our guests are going to be really excited about this new menu.
There's something on it for everybody."
