I was checking my itinerary for a flight in a few weeks and see:

Flight: UA901
Aircraft: Boeing 747-400
Fare Class: United Global First (ON)
Meal: Lunch
No Special Meal Offered.
What am I missing? Is this just a glitch? I'd requested AVML.

Enjoyed the salmon topped with lump crab in C from SFO to PEK this week.

Definitely feeling like things have improved a bit since the changes in June.

I would call on your AVML request. It could be an error on the web site.

But if not, it would be good to know in advance.

Flying ORD-NRT in F next month...my wife is a vegetarian..will there definitely be a vegetarian option or should she request asian veg which she did IAH-HNL and found it to be indian food and way too salty. Any thoughts on how the washoku zen meals have been of late?

thanks

I fly this route all the time and the japanese meal always has some meat in it, so I would request the vegetarian option in advance.

Good Luck.

Can someone please tell me what kind of meal to expect for a dinner service on a SFO-YYZ flight?

As this is essentially a domestic flight and catered as such, you might find more pertinent info in the Domestic food thread. I recall some recent reports of rather uninspiring offerings on this route. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ess-class.html
If you have a choice, AC will be a much better experience.

I look forward to hearing about it. If you remember, please pass along the wines/champagnes on offer as well....this is most important

I should have clarified; my wife is vegetarian, but I am not, so thats why I was asking about the Japanese meal quality vs. western options.

Again, is a vegetarian option always on the menu or does it need to be pre-ordered?

If wines/champagnes are most important, you should not be flying UA.

Seriously, UA F wines would be OK in C; their C wines are better left on the ground. But the champagnes are usually OK;I haven't had my socks knocked off in quite a while, but not bad.

CRB Business Class; What To Expect

Taking my family ORD-STT via IAH, SJU over Thanksgiving. Upgraded to an R fare from a U fare. What can I expect as far as meal service? It's listed as Lunch. I assume it'll be a domestic ETOPS plane IAH-SJU so no lie flat. Thanks in advance.
