Trough flight /did they feed you a real meal?

Going Ft Myers to San Francisco on Continential through flight in two weeks.the flight leaves at 6.45a.m Eastern time and arrives at 11.20a.m San francisco times which is a flight of approx 8 hours (not to mention being at airport 2 hurs before take off).

Since this is a through and long flight I was wondering if the "no meal rule" still applies - if if they feed me will it just be a very poor "saw dustbread " sandwich?

Thank you

My guess is that Continental will look it as two flights as far as meals are concerned. Ft. Myers to Houston & Houston to SF. Best bet is to call them and see what if anything they will feed you. They certainly will NOT look at it as an 8 hour flight.

Continental's electronic timetable shows a "snack" served in coach on both legs of the flight - RSW/IAH and IAH/SFO. However, since they use the word "Breakfast" for the first class meal on each leg, I'd think there is a difference that you should consider.

As for what the "snack" would be.....???

usually it is a turkey or ham sandwich & chips with drink or a Cheeseburger with chips & drink

I couldn't help wondering, either, what the swill would be like on such a flight ... ;)

They've cut back to the below-swill level LOL.
