Alaska Airlines has taken a significant step forward in enhancing its in-flight dining experience by introducing new offerings in the Main Cabin for medium- to long-haul flights across North America. Central to this initiative is the inclusion of Beecher’s Mac & Cheese, crafted by the renowned Seattle cheesemaker from Pike Place Market. This beloved dish, previously recognized as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, showcases the airline’s commitment to quality and local flavors.
The Alaska culinary team has dedicated nearly two years to perfecting this airborne rendition of Beecher’s esteemed Mac & Cheese. Featuring the signature Flagship cheese alongside penne pasta topped with a crisp breadcrumb coating, it promises to deliver the same mouthwatering taste that fans cherish, now adapted for airline travel.
Alaska Airlines distinguishes itself as the first U.S. domestic carrier to implement a comprehensive food pre-order program, offering an unmatched selection of fresh meals on domestic routes. This initiative provides a premium dining experience that passengers can enjoy, tailored to their preferences in every cabin. Those interested in exploring these enticing food options are encouraged to download the Alaska Airlines app, where pre-orders can be made up to 14 days prior to departure and until approximately 20 hours before takeoff. Notably, flights exceeding 1,100 miles will feature at least one hot meal option, alongside other popular selections like the Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter.
With these advancements, Alaska Airlines continues to elevate the travel experience by merging quality food options with convenience, setting a new standard for in-flight dining in the U.S. airline industry.
