As the holiday season approaches, travelers can look forward to an enhanced in-flight experience with a new selection of menu and movie pairings. Starting November 6, passengers will have access to freshly curated fall menu options designed to complement a range of movies available on board.

The airline offers over 800 free movies and TV shows, from recent releases to holiday classics. Passengers can enjoy these alongside meals that reflect festive fall flavors. For flights over 1,100 miles, food is available for purchase, and guests are encouraged to pre-order hot meals up to 20 hours before departure via the mobile app.

The menu includes diverse offerings such as Maple Chicken paired with a feel-good comedy or a Mediterranean Falafel Bowl served with a holiday classic. Each dish is crafted to enhance the travel experience through taste and entertainment.
