UA 1734 IAD-LAX, 3/23/2026
757-300


Bread pudding in a fruit sauce; the croissant at top left was a pain au chocolat. The "Jetstream Dream" vanilla pudding was so syrupy sweet that I only had a few bites.



UA 2268 LAX-IAD, 3/25/2026
787-9


Zucchini and cheese frittata, absent the baby arugula listed in the description.



Neither flight featured a PDB or a hot towel service... which is funny because UA comped these flights to get me to LAX for the United Elevated event. As a journalist, I suppose I appreciated getting a reminder of how much an airline's soft product can vary right before getting a day-long sales pitch about UA's plans to improve its service.
