OH NO! My ZRH - ORD flight in October leaves at 9:50 AM. Bummer. Will the FA's microwave a slice of pizza if I bring one on board??? (just kidding) . . . . . Sorry to hear about VS although I did notice one male FA on my flight a few years back with the really tasty food, who spent nearly the entire flight chatting with a couple of women. There was an 'seat' - like an ottoman, that he sat on. Blocked the way to the lav.

This is one of the new revised options for Brunch flights departing before 10am from Europe. Agree that the portions are minuscule - wasn’t sure where the other half of the wrap had gone.
Encourage you to write in with your photos - it actually helps them go back to the vendor.

Now that I think about it I wonder if they gave everyone a half portion so they didn't run out of the burrito? The options on the flight were a coconut chia smoothie, french toast, or breakfast burrito. I suspect the breakfast burrito was the most popular option so do you think it's possible they were like let's just give everyone half and then we have enough for the full flight? Unlikely but only thing I could think of

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to write into United with feedback.

Just United being cheap.

I've written to UA about my flight on 6/15 and provided info on the food quality/quantity(sent them the pics) and service issues. No reply yet....

Thanks for the info on UA12! It's a slightly longer flight than the GVA - EWR. Maybe that's the reason!

I can confirm no changes to Polaris menus in July from June.

Historically, the menu changed slightly every month (difference sauce on the short ribs, different fish type or pasta type). Hopefully Polaris won't be like domestic where the menu changes once every six months now...

I thought I had seen a photo of the FA meal service guide showing a label of alternating months, like Jun/Aug/Oct. It seemed a little bit of a strange way to cycle, but I guess that didn't mean anything, if I am even remembering it correctly.

- Cycle 1: January/May/September
- Cycle 2: February/June/October
- Cycle 3: March/July/November
- Cycle 4: April/August/December
But with the recent menu changes, this no longer appears to be the case.

UA schedules Polaris meals on the following cycles:

I would prefer monthly rotation, but oh well.

For July, can we just have the edible egg white bite / sausage breakfast for all flight times, all times of day? UA's "All Day Breakfast"...
