This x1000. Every time I fly TPAC on UA, I feel uncomfortably hungry mid-flight, and starving for the mid-flight snack. I could not understand why the portion of food in Economy Class is so minuscule on UA. In particular, you just get a small salad and a small main dish, and that's it.
In contrast, for the few times I flew DL, I never feel hungry at all! You can usually get a salad, an appetizer, a substantial main dish, and a dessert in Economy, which is sufficient to keep me stuffed until the mid-flight snack service.
I have no problem with a small seat, limited legroom, etc, but I really cannot tolerate being hungry. This difference has started to make me think twice about booking UA TPAC flights.
