Snacks aren't going anywhere, but I have been on some flights that just don't have it. CVG-ORD one trip, after a 2.5 hour delay (to be fair: It was the Friday of memorial day weekend - where there was a big ground stop - so I don't blame UA for the delay). I've lost track now, but believe this flight the FA decided it would be a water-only service, not sure why. I actually asked FA about the snacks, and she reacted like she had no idea UA had them. Then, I was in F on YYZ-ORD, where I know they didn't serve snacks in Y - we got basket in F, and I was going to ask if they could bring me a stroopwafel since I haven't been able to try one, but they weren't doing a snack on that flight, either. Then the onward ORD-CVG, in Y, and no snack on that one either. it's definitely not the duration - or not supposed to be, as I've gotten the bagged snacks on these routes before.
