To think I could paid a coach fare and sat in the back and had a far more filling snack box and a couple cans of soda during the flight. I guess buying First nowadays is nothing more than a PQM play and a bigger seat #Sad . The website had the flight listed as "light snack" which I expected would be an actual snack plate of some kind - I thought a flight booked as "refreshments" was just drinks and the sad snack basket?
Here's what I grabbed on my most recent experience with the snack basket. This was BOS to ORD (UA 1598) on 20 December. Disappointing because this 14:00 departure is one of the few flights that doesn't receive a full meal and at 2 hrs 40 mins, it's on the longer side. Still, service was great and multiple passes were made through the cabin.
