Sorry that you had occasion to travel, but thanks for the trip report.

I've seen this happen fairly often.. they rarely get past more than a few rows of E+ before they run out, but it's a nice gesture.

Brekkie.
Well… this is.. umm… Interesting! The fruit was okie (fresh as usual with apple, grape, 1 piece of melon and some orange segments if you dug hard enough). The projectiles was this wonderful mixed brown and white bread that LHR and MAN insist on supplying with meals… the yogurt was passed on, and the waffle – well I’m going be nice here – it wasn’t burnt, it was warm, the mango topping complimented the sweetness quite nicely.
So what about the Bacon. Oh dear. Even I can cook bacon better than this. Extra Rubbery and Extra Crisp sums it up (how they can do that is beyond me...).
UA Y class breakfast, when served as a hot meal (as opposed to the Danish & Yog) is, IMHO, the worst meal that they offer on any flight. Just bleugh.
On the other hand, I love the pretzel bread roll that they serve as a pre-arrival snack. Very nice.
