Kinda makes one not want to go to Hawaii, or instead, fly First Class, or fly on a different airline. American and United are the two airlines with no food (or food for purchase) to Hawaii. Does anyone know a third?
What was surprising to me was that the food on those European budget airlines for purchase didn't look too bad.

Be glad they don't serve food, what they do is ghastly! The problem with it is that you can’t take prepacked food through security check, which means you have to buy at airport and those food prices have really skyrocketed at least at SFO and I assume most airports. Eat a good meal before you leave home, take a few snack bars and buy a couple bottles of water once past security.

Meals are not included with your economy ticket price. Complimentary soft drinks and a "cocktail snack" are. The FAs will periodically walk the aisles offering to refill your cup with bottled water.
For flights over 5 hours you will have a choice between:
1) The fresh food menu

2) A choice of snackboxes

JoanneH - You can take food through security. Just no liquid or gel items other than those 3-oz ones in the zip-lock bags. snaip
They would not let us take crackers in April flying to Europe and just this past month they took away the snack bars on trip to New Mexico saying no food buy it after security, you appear to be able to do something I have not been able to do <G>

I'm able to take any and all food past security. You probably had another IDIOT TSA agent that doesn't know his left hand from his right hand.
Next time insist on seeing the supervisor. There are NO RESTRICTIONS for solid foods.
