I surely enjoyed sipping my tea [DL serves Bigelow which is not too bad for airplane tea] out of a proper ceramic mug when I did PIT-LGA/JFK frequently awhile back, I hate the Styrofoam cup. Whether you are on a mainline bird or a regional jet, everything will be exactly the same service wise and hard product wise [even the F cabin seats and the Y seats are standardized and consistent], the only difference is no power outlets/in-seat IFE on the RJs. That's all.
P.S. the biggest disappointment [trivial though] for me is DL got rid of the Sun Chips from the snack basket and replaced it with Fritos
Thanks! Per the article, one of the only complaints is the lack or power (and IFE) on the plane. But, thankfully, they have plenty of power outlets at the gate to charge up before you go.
Meal looks good for such a short flight. Even two options!
Reviewer did not apparently try the wifi.
If UA wants to, they could pull off the cold meal service in F, and fresh choices (BoB) in Y. We'll see.
A trivial one for me: I was happy when UA replaced the BBQ flavored pop chips with kettle potato chips in the snack basket.
How many power outlets do the UA 175's have for the 12 seats in F?
