There will be plenty of options on the flight food menu for your flight journey, whether for shorter or longer distances.

Help Desk

Another convenient means of adding food to a reserved flight is connecting with your airline's help desk. The representatives are present to assist with the requirements of passengers of any kind. So, if you wish to add food prior to your boarding, you must get through to your airline's help desk by using the assigned number. Once you have a representative on call, you should share your reserved flight details and state your choice of meal to add to the same.  The detailed procedure for help desk contact is given here:

Travel Agency

Some individuals also book flights with travel agencies as well. In this case, requests for the meals on the flight cannot be made directly with the airline airline. The same travel agency should be contacted for any additions. So, reach out to your agent and make the request for the addition of food you prefer on the booking you made and pay the necessary charges.

Can you get an extra meal on a flight? 

Sometimes, the provided meals are not enough for a passenger to be full and enjoy the journey without discomfort. So, if you wonder if an extra meal can be taken on the flight, the answer is yes. One can ask for an additional meal on the flight regardless of the destination you are traveling to. Speak with a crew member on the flight and make your meal request on the existing reservation.

Many airlines and specific travel classes permit free food and snacks on flights, and sometimes, a passenger has to pay for their food. By talking to a crew member on the flight, you can ask for meals you would like to have from the available menu and pay for the same. The meals can also be pre-booked with your airline during and after reservation as well.
