It's appalling that a 6 hour cross-country flight doesn't include more than a soda and 6 mini pretzels, and that we didn't have personal TVs. Appalling. Youre required to pre-order meals, which would be appropriate for a 3 hour or less flight perhaps, but 5-6 hours in the air through a meal time should include a meal for the prices we pay for flights. And it should also be on a plane that provides individual TVs. It's not a luxury it's expected in the value of what we pay for flight prices.
