Even if you go out to EWR for a Polaris equipped aircraft, the soft product on UA is pretty bad these days. Check out the meal thread in the UA forum- really embarrassing slop they are serving on transcon flights these days, way below what DL, AA and of course B6 are offering.

BTW the socks were the one thing I always used. I have lots of opened Tumi kits at home. Only thing missing is the socks.

On my way to LAX from JFK, Delta One 767-300 ER. Older seats, small TVs and no pre-departure beverage service, and no amenity kits at the seats or offered. Dinner was served all at once. FAs we’re otherwise attentive and great with meal service and drinks in flight, but I thought the PDBs were back. And I got an amenity kit on my last D1 flights (which were international though). Is this normal for domestic D1? Sorry if this is such a first world problem rant.

Slippers are still distributed separately from the (now sockless) amenity kit, but on all long-haul routes, not just TPAC.

Unless I know I'll be using PreCheck, I always *wear* socks when I fly. I don't want to walk through airport security in bare feet and security employees get upset if I try to put on light slippers or booties at that point.

"Polaris" is international only. If you're referring to the seat, it is hit or miss on EWR with the 77HD back in service and as already mentioned simply not available to JFK.
Not to mention UA's food is awful.
AA (in F) and B6 have the best t-con products. Except B6 is not very reliable, there is no lounge, and most of the aircraft use the same crappy Vantage seat you'll find on the 763s.
