I'm sorry - what is CRB business class? Yes, no lie flat on this route. You can look at your itinerary and see the planes you will be one. Not sure what else you are asking.

Thank you. Then there isn't a business class is there? It's just F and coach.

Edited to add - since this has now been moved to the "Let's Eat" thread, here's what you can expect on this flight:

Pretty much nothing special.

Meals in Businessfirst on United EWR to TLV

Greetings-

I am the first time poster, but a frequent reader. Thanks for tons of helpful information out here.

I will be flying in BusinessFirst on UA 84 from EWR to TLV on 777-200. I was wondering if anybody knows what the meals are on that flight? I do not eat shelfish etc, so trying to understand if I need to order a special meal or not.

Also, the other flight is UA 71, also BusinessFirst from AMS to EWR on 757-200. Any advise there?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your replies!!!

If you read through this thread, you will get a better idea of what food choices are, at least for this month.

Fra-ewr c/j 777-200

FRA-EWR
UA51
Departure: 11.30 (departed on time)
Aircraft: 777-200 lie-flat seats
Seat: 1E

PBD: Anything

Menu pg1


Menu pg2


Appetizer - Melon & Prosciutto and Shrimp with Chili Sauce


Salad


Main - Tenderloin of Beef (Very identical to the main in GF - see post #387)


Cheese - I only took the grapes and port

Typical flight, though I noticed that FAs are very chatty in the galley, might select a different seat next time on the 777.

No actual menus on the website :-( Looked through the thread again, and you are right, while it does have the idea of offerings, those are mostly for EU and Asian routes. If anybody did fly the TLV route, would love to hear from you! A lot of common themes though in the menu choices. Thanks again!

My PEK-SFO Flight in Global First had a filet that looked more like overcooked slop, also this is the only thing that was on the MENU that was on the plane:

no seasoning at all on this steak, potato pile, or tomato, good thing the au jus sauce was a bit salty

The omelet for breakfast had 'cheese' sauce that likely had 10 days worth of sodium, and I am not picky about salt content at all, but wow it was intense, in the worst way.


And tasteless 'cheese' soup, at least it wasn't the salt of breakfast:


this is pmUA caterer, and they really suck, yea that is a plastic spoon too!

Yulie- I know that the DXB route always offers Halal options, so if you're worried about the availability of kosher items, Id venture to say that there shouldn't be an issue.

Likely 30-60 minutes after takeoff.

They'll start a drinks service as soon as they're released to move about the cabin, and dinner service will begin shortly therafter. I'd say you'll probably be eating about 60 minutes after takeoff. The whole meal, including dessert/drinks at the end is probably about an hour.

They they'll leave you alone until shortly before landing, where they'll come through with a breakfast. A GOOD crew will ask you at some point after boarding whether or not you wish to be awakened for breakfast. In my experience, the breakfast itself isn't worth the effort or calories but the coffee is welcome, at least until they started serving poo-brew.

I've stopped banking on that for any airline and simply inform the crew at the end of dinner to not wake me until landing. Way easier than hoping they do it or guess correctly.
