How to book a flight ticket with meal service for a teenager on Trip.com when parents are flying business class with meals included?

TL;DR
On Trip.com, passengers under 25 get a separate youth/student fare type, which often comes without meal service even in the same cabin class as the parents — select the correct fare type during checkout and bring your passport for age verification.

During Trip.com checkout, one of the steps lets you choose the fare type, including a youth fare — remember to bring your passport, since age is checked at check-in.

The issue: for 2 adults with meal service (e.g. Four Seasons-style business class), meals can be added, but for a teenager Trip.com only offers a youth ticket without a meal — it's unclear how to get the teen the same class with meal service as the rest of the family.

For passengers under 25, Trip.com doesn't show a meal-inclusive option separate from the family fare — as a result the rest of the family gets meals but there's no clear way to get food for the young traveler.
