Oops, I was off by a day but it was UA 928 on March 26th. 8:30am departure from LHR. When booked back in January the departure was later, but I received an email on Feb 1 that it had been moved to 8:30am. I was pretty grumpy having to leave my flat at 5:30am but when it's one departure a day, what can you do? The breakfast was a nice surprise.
Regarding the fruit, I was elated to have all fresh citrus as opposed to the usual freezing cold, rock-hard and hardly ripe melon-based combo. Different strokes...
