Major airline is cutting free in-flight meals, moving to pre-paid menu
Chef Sheldon Simeon’s preorder dishes will replace standard cabin meals and cost $10.99 to $16.99, Hawaiian Airlines said.
- Starting July 1, Hawaiian Airlines will introduce a pre-order meal program for Main Cabin guests on most flights between Hawaii and the United States, replacing complimentary service with chef-curated options.
- Hawaiian Airlines designed the program to provide guests greater control and menu variety, expanding a culinary overhaul that began in March with the appointment of Executive Chef Dell Valdez.
- Meals ranging from $10.99 to $15.99 feature local favorites like Crispy Mochiko Chicken and BBQ Teriyaki Chicken Bento, selectable via mobile app from two weeks up to 20 hours before departure.
- Huaka members receive two free meals as a launch promotion, while the airline prioritizes sustainability using compostable or recyclable packaging to reduce single-use plastics.
- Plans to expand the Main Cabin menu this Fall include additional curated selections, delivering authentic flavors grounded in Hawaii's diverse culinary culture and Chef Sheldon Simeon's signature style.
