Between the two of us we have one asian vegetarian and one gluten free meal booked. I'll post again when we get back with results.
Incidentally - am I going deaf? When I spoke to the agent she was so quiet I could hardly hear her. I kept saying speak up and she'd get louder for a few seconds and then fade out. Anyone else noticed this? I didn't even bother to ask about getting a notation on the PNR record because frankly, it was just way to painful to try to communicate like that.
Further very unimportant question - why is it that when everyone knows the dates that various countries are going to change their clocks, airlines don't seem to be able to recognize this: my arrival time has moved and is now an hour earlier because the UK don't put their clocks forward for a couple of weeks. This isn't just United. Air Canada did the same thing to me last year at this time. It does rather seem clueless though.
