Hi,

I flew a flight from Houston (IAH) to Washington Dulles (IAD) a few days ago. It was a lunch service on a wide body jet (76U, i.e. w/ Polaris seats installed). Here are a few details:

(1) Pre-Departure Beverage: Yes | Sparkling Wine or Water | I choose water
(2) Pre-Order: No | Not available on domestic wide bodies
(3) First Choice | Yes, as a 1K, the lead was able to honor my 1st choice
(4) Choices Offered | Thai Meatballs, Glass Noodles or Rigatoni Pasta | My choice was the "Rigatoni" Pasta (more like Alfredo Cannelloni w/ sun-dried tomatoes and spinach)
(5) Service Flow | (a) Drinks and Nuts, (b) Full meal w/ salad, roll and cookie served together
(6) Bonus | Someone left a freshly wrapped Saks Fifth Avenue Day Blanket in the overhead, so I was able to use it for the flight :-)

Overall, the quality of the food was above average for a United Pasta dish. The service by the lead and other F flight attendant was very good, friendly and professional. I received a drink top up and trays were removed promptly post lunch.

Here are the photos:


Coke and Lemon w/ Warmed Nuts (Cashews & Almonds)

Thanks!
