IIRC a "long haul" flight is normally considered a non - domestic
flight...

Not in the UK it isn't. We can get to Amsterdam in 40 minutes flying time -
that is *very* short-haul!

Ah, but in trains you can move around and find a dining or snack car.

Not always, actually- or one which is very limited in its offerings.

Well, to be truthful, I usually take food and drink with me 8-) This
is legal and hassle-free on a train. Try it on a plane nowadays!!

Were do you normally fly.

Usually to the Middle and Far East from the UK.

How do you define "long haul". It's 2377 miles from Washington, DC to
San Francisco, CA and you get no food. Perhaps you do on London,
England to Aden (3663 miles).

Canada to the US and back again won't automatically get you any food,
nor would I call a turbo twin prop with a flight time of 35 minutes a
long-haul flight.

Non-domestic doesn't have anything to do with short-haul vs long-haul.
