Free meals on board Hawaiian Airlines flights will soon be a thing of the past. The airline has announced it will end complimentary service in main cabins in favor of a prepaid option.
Passengers will instead be able to preorder food from a Hawaii-inspired menu curated by Maui-based chef Sheldon Simeon. The program will launch July 1 with a curated set of offerings, with plans to expand the menu in the fall.
“By moving to a pre-order model, we’re expanding beyond a single standard meal to offer a broader menu that reflects how our guests want to dine today,” said Hawaiian Airlines Managing Director of Marketing Alisa Onishi.
Other buy-on-board products will remain the same, Onishi said, and the airline will continue to offer free snacks on board.
Prices for each meal range from $11 to $17.
According to the announcement, the menu features dishes such as crispy mochiko chicken with garlic noodles, barbecue teriyaki chicken bento, and corned beef hash with eggs.
New dishes will be announced throughout the year, and items will be rotated.
The meals will be prepared with fresh ingredients no more than 12 hours before each flight, according to the announcement.
Passengers will be able to order through the Alaska-Hawaiian mobile app or website two weeks in advance and up to 20 hours before departure.
Onishi said the airline started work on the change before its integration with Alaska Airlines and had always had Simeon in mind for the project.
