I cannot believe how bad the food has dropped on UA...even under Kirby.
While I won't boycott UA over this, I'm not about to buy a J ticket on UA and shopping now for a trip to S. Africa. Of course UA has the best schedule, but sorry...unless I can upgrade, I'll look elsewhere.
I just got back last week from ORD-IST-FCO-NAP-IST-ORD (789 out 777 back). I wholeheartedly concur with your above comments. Mine was a paid J ticket as well, no PL lounge since logistically tough at O'Hare. Turkish will get my paid J $$$ so long as it's on their 787s and the routing isn't too circuitous. UA will get the rest. My UA FRA trip tomorrow will be a tough one to swallow after experiencing TK's multi-course, chef on board, dinner by candlelight, Tattinger experience of last week. :|
