Was this Continental? AFAIK they are still the only airline in the US serving meals in Coach...I see them getting fairly decent reviews for their food on some of the travel sites.
JetBlue offers plenty of snacks (unlimited!) on their flights, as does apparently Southwest on their longer and trans - con flights...
Given the circumstances, I am sure they up
Doubtful...still best to take your own along.
Regarding "compensation" of a slightly different sort, someone on IIRC www.flyertalk.com mentioned that they had trip cancellation insurance with American Express (this I guess is an automatic perk of having an Amex card). They were supposed to transit at Heathrow to Amsterdam and then back to the US (after completing a European cruise). Their Heathrow - Amsterdam flight was of course cancelled, they were going to have to spend an extra day or two in getting flights, etc. They called Amex to ask about their trip insurance, asking them to pay for a hotel and other expenses. Amex refused, saying that under the policy's "force majeure" clause this interruption was defined as "terrorism" and Amex was not liable for any costs incurred by the traveller :-
During this whole terrrorism fracas airlines are NOT responsible for putting pbuttengers up in hotels, providing meals, alternative transportation, phone calls, etc. .They are simply responsible for eventually getting you to your final destination on "the next available flight"...if they offer anything it is simply a courtesy extended on their part.
Fore - warned is fore - armed :-)
