Upgraded yesterday CLE-IAH and ordered a Bailey's on the rocks pre-departure. FA told me they had been notified that Bailey's was being phased out, United would soon no longer have Baileys on board
. Lucky for me there was still a bottle on board yesterday's flight.
She said Bailey's very popular, especially with a coffee. They will still have cognac, but in her 6 years as a FA no one has ever ordered a cognac period much less a cognac and coffee.
I didn't think to ask her if this was for domestic only. I did mention that $2B in cuts has to come from somewhere and she just laughed.
I'll miss having a Bailey's in coffee after a meal on domestic, and (if discontinued international) Bailey's on top of ice cream. This is a small change but one I don't like.
