Does it make sense that there is no option for a KSML flying ZN from BOS-LAX?
What is ZN? Your new airrine?

Generally people say Y, J, or F to refer to a cabin unless the fare class is relevant.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Understood.  The reason I mentioned the fare class is the small chance that that is what was triggering the lack of meal choice.  I know that's ridiculous, but I'm still having a hard time believing that there is no kosher option on a transcontinental United business class flight that is offering a meal.

Onboard service never has anything to do with fare class.

As Dan said. And ever after your explanation you should still add Im flying UA on a ZN class. The way you wrote it reflected that your flying on ZN airlines. Anyhow, Im not so familiar with KSML with UA but I think they only serve KSML on PS flights.

You always call the operating carrier, in your case CX.
