Good To Know
If you don’t pre-order, you can still buy from the Onboard Delights menu on board, subject to availability, but hot meals are only available by pre-order. Pre-orders are limited per flight, so if the maximum has been reached, you’ll need to buy on board instead. If you’ve also ordered a special meal, you’ll get that instead of anything you’ve selected here. Snacks and drinks are sold on flights of 45 minutes or more, and the full Onboard Delights range on flights of 70 minutes or more.
