Never, have I ever gone so hungry on a transpac flight. A "full meal" served about one hour into a 12 hour flight and thats about it. A quarter of a sandwich about one hour before landing. Is this the norm for all transpac flights on UA? I've never experienced such minimal catering and ill-timed meals. Understand their main goal is to get me from point A to B, but a little food wouldn't hurt the bottom line that much no?
Did you order pre-meal drinks? $7-8 each in Y on UA. (Other airlines they are free).

Good job UA! Another happy camper. First, charge for booze, now very little food. Forget the limes and olives. Now half a sandwich. 1/2 can of soda. What next? no ice, no cup?

I feel very sorry for the great employees at UA that must provide this "service". Management must go.
