Can anyone confirm if I had a lazy crew, or if this is an "enhancement"? Or do some of you think that perhaps on overnight flights, a pre-arrival beverage service isn't needed, to ensure pax have maximum time to sleep?
I flew UA 3 KOA-ORD a few weeks ago in coach and the F/As were very good about passing through the cabin offering water or coffee about once every hour for the entire second half of the flight. It seems (sadly) that you simply did not get a good crew.
