“Fall brings crisp evenings, amazing color changes – and, starting today, a new lineup of menu options to enjoy on board your next Alaska Airlines flight”, states a press release. “We continue to offer fresh, healthy choices for our guests in all our cabins, including a variety of entrees that are vegetarian, vegan and made without gluten.” They note that half of their meals in First Class are now made without gluten ingredients, and a growing percent are plant-based.
One of the new options is the Brusselin’ Vegan Salad developed in partnership with Evergreens, a West Coast-based company that makes gourmet, freshly chopped salads.

“We take a lot of pride creating new seasonal food options that taste great and that are good for you,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, managing director of guest products at Alaska Airlines. “Many of our guests tell us they love the bright, West Coast flavors that use real, healthy ingredients. For our fall menu, we continue to focus on plant-based, vegan and gluten-free options.”
Other vegan options include Vegan Quinoa and Roasted Carrot Salad and Chickpea Teriyaki,
