This was my first time experiencing Premium Transcontinental Service on UA. Pictures first, followed by observations/notes.
Warm nuts and cranberry/orange juice.
Flat iron steak/potatoes/asparagus, salad, burrata appetizer, and roll.
Sundae+cheese.
Pre-arrival meal of Maryland crab cakes and melon salad.
Observations/notes- Maryland crab cakes were really good. Had a weird smell to it, but was perfectly decent. Watermelon and regular melon slices were fresh and tasty.
- No snack basket observed, is this a feature or bug? Just wondering—had more than enough food.
I also plan to write a full trip report, including my first-time visit to the C123 UC, so will link to it here as soon as I finish.
Overall: impressed. The meal and fixings had an edge over my
AA F meal last year on JFK-LAX, but AA had better warmed nuts and sundaes. Overall, a wash, but I was really impressed with the UC and service was definitely better and warmer on this flight, so probably giving this flight a small edge over my AA experience last year.
Interesting . . . the crabcakes posted earlier looked MUCH more appealing, with visible crab lumps. This one is more what I would have expected from UA. At least you say it tasted good!
