upgraded morning snack in FC (?)
I experienced something new today...not sure if it is new service/upgrade with the new month, or just new to me.
I flew MKE-DEN in FC. We had the typical breakfast snack basket (muffins, granola bars and bananas on the MKE-MSP leg.
I noticed my reservation was listed as 'snack' for the MSP-DEN leg. What was served was a tray containing cheerios, yogurt, and a bagel with cream cheese. There was also milk for the cereal and a glass of OJ.
This is similar to the breakfast option I've had on longer flights. In this case, there was no choice. This is much more extensive than the snack basket.
Is this a new service or just new to me? Either way, I like it.

Very interesting. The block time is less than 2.5 hours, but it sounds like the breakfast service. Likely a positive development!

Wouldn't SNA-MSP be considered a full meal flight as it is blocked for over 2.5 hours?
The interesting thing about this "snack" is that it was similar to the cereal breakfast option on those flights, but instead of a fruit plate, it only had a banana.
There wasn't the other option either, typically eggs and sausage as I recall. That i why I'm thinking this may be a new thing...snack vs breakfast....
Any other comments?

You would think so, but I am sure that was the one - no choice, with banana.
