Southwest's inflight dining options sparse

It ain't much, but what can you expect from a budget airline in these most budget-conscious of times.

Southwest Airlines, which officially launched service from MSP this week, serves only the bare minimum as far as inflight fare goes, but you're not going very far anyway.

San Francisco's about the furthest you're gonna get, so you can deal with the pretzels and peanuts. For the fare you're likely to get for your getaways on the airline, it'll be worth it.
