The new service will provide food options on about 500 daily non-transcontinental flights - approximately 300 more flights than currently offer food service. In addition, the new program will be offered in place of existing main cabin food service on approximately 120 transcontinental and 40 Hawaii flights. The move will help the carrier save $30 million annually, while still providing customers with the option to have food on board on more than 600 domestic flights. AMERICAN AIRLINES In September, American tested various food concepts. Survey results supported the idea of selling food in flight and contributed to the design of the new program, with more than half of passengers surveyed being "positive" or "very positive" about the opportunity to purchase meals on board. A large majority of passengers who purchased the $3 snack box said the snacks were a good value for the money. More than half of respondents who made the $5 snack box purchase believed it was a good value. "We are committed to giving our customers options, so we will provide the opportunity to purchase food on more flights," said Lauri Curtis, Vice President-Onboard Service. "This will especially benefit our flights out of our mid-continent hubs at DFW and Chicago." American Airlines will offer a $3 morning snack box from 6 a.m. to 9:59 a.m. and a $3 afternoon snack box from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The morning version will contain a Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Muffin Bar, Ocean Spray Craisins, New York Style Brand Mini Bagel Chips, rondele cream-cheese spread and Peerless Starlight Mint. The afternoon box will contain Pepperidge Farm Distinctive Crackers, Sparrer's gourmet beef salami slices, cheddar cheese, Delyse Orchard Fruit Mix and Oreo cookies. In addition to the snack box, customers traveling on select transcontinental and Hawaii flights will be offered a freshly prepared breakfast sandwich or wrap for $5. On morning flights, a breakfast croissant sandwich with turkey, cheddar cheese, sliced hard-boiled eggs and raspberry butter will be offered. After 10 a.m., customers can purchase a turkey wrap.
