Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have recently launched new seasonal menus, featuring fresh flavors, locally-sourced ingredients, and chef-inspired dishes. These new menus are now available for pre-order on all flights within North America and Hawai’i.

First Class passengers on Alaska Airlines can enjoy a variety of new seasonal options, including Banana Crêpes, Lemon Pesto Spaghetti with Grilled Chicken, and a Lemongrass Pork Sandwich. These dishes highlight the season’s vibrant palate and use fresh ingredients. Popular breakfast item Parmesan Eggs & Bacon and Tillamook Cheeseburger will also remain on the menu.

For those flying in the Main Cabin on medium- to long-haul flights within North America, Alaska Airlines is now offering Beecher’s Mac & Cheese, from the iconic Seattle cheesemaker. The airline’s culinary team spent two years perfecting the onboard version of this beloved dish, which was previously named one of Oprah’s Favorite Things. Made with Beecher’s award-winning Flagship cheese, penne pasta, and a crisp breadcrumb topping, this dish delivers the same crave-worthy flavor that passengers know and love, but in a reimagined form for flight.

“As Seattle’s hometown airline, Alaska is proud to partner with regional favorites that reflect where we come from and what our guests love; Beecher’s Mac & Cheese is a natural fit for our menu: iconic, high-quality, and unmistakably local,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, vice president of guest experience and products.

Alaska Airlines is the first U. S. domestic carrier to offer a comprehensive food pre-order program. Passengers can now pre-order meals up to 14 days in advance and until roughly 20 hours before takeoff. This program includes at least one hot meal option on flights over 1,100 miles, with favorites like the Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter available. In addition to Beecher’s Mac & Cheese, Alaska’s popular Evergreens menu is expanding to include the new Med In The Clouds dish, a Mediterranean-inspired, plant-forward option. This fresh and flavorful dish is perfect for guests seeking a lighter, satisfying meal and meets the diverse dietary needs of guests.

For those flying in the Main Cabin, Alaska Airlines is now offering a new Antipasto Platter, featuring premium ingredients like cured meats, candied walnuts, and marinated mozzarella balls. This thoughtfully curated assortment is perfect for elevated snacking or light dining.

Hawaiian Airlines is also elevating their inflight dining experience with a new menu crafted by Honolulu-born chef Robynne Maii. First Class passengers flying from Hawai’i to the U. S. Continent can enjoy island-inspired dishes, including a smoked mozzarella frittata with Portuguese sausage, a basil Caesar salad paired with roasted chicken and ginger scallion fried rice, a beef & kimchi hand pie, ratatouille parmesan baked ziti, and Lasagna alla Norma.
