DEN-SJC A320 Dinner
  • The excellent cabin crews keep on coming. Love it.
  • PDB offered, despite catering showing up very very late, when boarding was complete but for the stragglers
  • Hot towels showed up again - the run is strong now
  • Nuts - well, this went downhill fast, though obviously a one off. FOUR AND A HALF pretzels dominated my bowl. And for the first time since the switch, the nuts were not as crisp and fresh. Starting to think UA took a massive annual delivery and it's now just getting old and stale.
  • Salad - as usual, the highlight. Looks like last week's shredded/grated cheese was an aberration.
  • Veg Chili - continues to be my winner. However looks like I have to switch to the Tortellini Brodo for the coming month, which I earlier noted was surprisingly decent. Hope it lives up to its reputation.
  • No bread on anyone's plates as far as I could see, so I assume it wasn't catered.
  • Skipped the dessert again. I even wrote to GS saying please bring back the chocolate pie in the sky, or some Eli's cheesecakes -- they politely listened to my stupid email and said they appreciate the input !
  • I asked the FA for the chocolate chip cookie bite thingies from the back as a dessert (which may not be my first time doing that...) - she very thoughtfully brought back a bunch of assorted snacks and offered them, as far as I could tell, to the 4 GS in the cabin, and then after that to others. Nice touch.
