Continental joins the crowd, will offer food for sale on select flights

Continental Airlines (Houston) will change its in-flight meal service this fall by introducing a variety of food choices for purchase in economy class on many U.S. and Canadian and certain Latin American routes.  The airline will continue to offer complimentary food in the economy cabin on all intercontinental and certain other international routes, and on long-haul domestic routes over six hours.

Continental will also continue its complimentary food in the front cabin (first class and BusinessFirst) on routes worldwide.  New first-class lunch sandwiches (such as a chicken parmesan Tuscan sandwich) and updated first-class dinner pasta dishes (such as spinach & cheese cannelloni with pomodoro sauce) will debut on April 1.
