(1) always nice to see polite people.
(2) IMHO the smell of lox is very, very little, compared to lots of things people bring on the plane. I doubt anyone would ever notice.
(3) what bugs me is people who bring on bags full of McDonalds food, or something like food from Popeyes that is drenched in fat. The smell is 100x worse than Lox, I can smell it from 3 rows back.

Agree with others, given how low quality the catering is on UA these days, best to take care of yourself.

p.s. Was just on a flight LIH-SFO. Woman in the middle seat guiltily pulled out a begal right after we took off, I pulled out several packets of sushi/sashimi. I won that round.
