Continental Airlines will change its in-flight
meal service this fall by introducing a new range of food choices
for purchase in economy class on many U.S./Canada and certain
Latin American routes. The airline will continue to offer
complimentary food in the economy cabin on all intercontinental
and certain other international routes, and on long-haul domestic
routes over six hours.
Continental will also continue its complimentary food in the front cabin (first class and BusinessFirst) on routes worldwide. New first class lunch
sandwiches (such as a chicken parmesan Tuscan sandwich) and
updated first class dinner pasta dishes (such as spinach and cheese
cannelloni with pomodoro sauce) will debut 1 April 2010.
“We
are improving our economy meal service with a high-quality,
industry-leading food-for-purchase program that is consistent with
the strong brand image and high service standards for which our
customers recognize us,” said Jim Compton, executive vice
president and chief marketing officer. “Our traditional free-food
model has served us well for many years, but we need to change to
reflect today’s market and customer preferences.”
Menu
choices and pricing have not yet been disclosed by the airline. Traditional non-alcoholic beverages and
accompanying snacks like pretzels will continue to be
complimentary on every Continental flight.
