I never asked United for lobster tails and champagne, I asked for a return to the pre-virus Polaris service that included a pre-departure welcome with beverage, an appetizer and salad served together with dressing choice poured from the cart, a bread selection with multiple options and additional service on request, a nicely plated, substantial sized entree that looked and tasted remotely appealing (sometimes even delicious), a dessert cart (or selection on request) of one, some or all of a sundae with custom toppings, mini pies and other small desserts, cheese, crackers and fruit, and depending on the length of flight and destination, a choice of a one or more hot entree items including soup and sandwich or noodle soup, etc., and a pre-arrival hot meal which may be a hot breakfast of an omelet with sides, cereal, or pancakes/waffles, etc including fresh warm breads, yogurt, and fruit.
If this is all too much for United to deliver in a so-called premium business class product, then I can't help them.
