There were only 24 of us in the plane for the last leg where food was requested. I didn’t not ask them to buy food out of thier own pockets as you are making that assumption . I would of happily paid but yes I would prefer the billion dollar airline ( not flight crew) take care of its trapped passengers. And yes I was polite and asked politely . So it would be ok for you and your family to sit on the same plane for 8 hours with no food and unable to leave ? At which point is this unacceptable? 10 hours ? 12 ?

Blake- I understand your response but maybe I didn’t word my question/ statement correctly, let me boil my question down. Is it right for Southwest Airlines to keep you in the same plane for 8 hours with no food other than pretzels? We were not allowed to deplane to eat after asking . And to make things matter worse from my perspective they left the plane and got themselves food . signed, i get hungry sometimes

I was scheduled to fly from Minneapolis to Nashville with a stop in Chicago. 11:35am departure Minneapolis and arrive in Nashville at 3:20. I was scheduled to stay on the plane for 40 mins in Chicago . So total fight time from Minneapolis to Nashville 3 hours 45 mins . Due to weather we were diverted to Milwaukee where we waited and de iced again blah blah blah . To make a long story short we were still on the plane in Chicago at 5:15 . I was sitting in the bulk head and pilot comes out and says he is getting food and asks what the flight attendants want . I suggested he get us food as well since we will be on this plane not allowed to leave for almost 8 hours at least. He and the flight attendants ignore my request and get food and eat In front of us . We finally arrived in Nashville about 7:10pm. I know tarmac rules , but because we sat at multiple airports I assume these rules don’t apply. Boarded plane at Minneapolis at 11:10am finally arrived in Nashville at 7:10 pm. 8 hours on the same plane and only had pretzels . Any recourse here ? Or am I crazy that this was wrong ?
