Back in November UA added a 3-class 777 on this route and if you selected the correct days, you could enjoy it in both directions.
I'm on this r/t 4 times this month in C and noticed last week that there was no selection of dinner offerings on UA724. Everyone was given the beef, which I don't eat.

When the same thing happened on the breakfast flight UA663, only the eggs were offered, I started to smell a big fat lie. The next UA724 flight was only beef again! No chocolate sauce again! Miscatering? I don't think so.
I spoke to one of the regular FAs on the route and she confirmed it is not miscatering. As of this month on the 3-class it is eggs only in C for breakfast flights and beef only for lunch/dinner flights and no chocolate sauce! They plan to alternate between beef and chicken on the lunch/dinner menu.
Fortunately, they still offer limited special meals on this route, so if your upgrade clears in time and they load the meal you should be okay.
There are still choices and chocolate sauce in F.

Is the identical menu on both the outbound and the return normal? Wasn't an issue for me (I was able to try two of the three entrees all in all), but I could see this becoming redundant for somebody flying p.s. on a regular basis. The red wine selection seemed to be the exception: Shiraz Westbound and a Malbec Eastbound - both of which were excellent.

Couldn't complain... spicy, flavorful, and not too heavy ^

Has anyone flown the 9:03 pm IAH to LAX in first class? Says snack but when I flew a late flight into SFO our snack was the typical UA lunch - salad or hot sandwich. What are they serving into LAX? If it really is the snack basket, it is hardly worth upgrading.

My SFO-BOS redeye this past weekend was listed as 'refreshment' on my itinerary, but was a full snack with southwest chicken plate.

Are the transcon sundaes being cut? I flew IAD-SFO this past weekend, and no ice cream sundaes were offered - just a frozen dessert, raspberry sorbet inside a chocolate shell.

Hopefully a catering mishap; I had the same thing on IAD-SEA back in November, but had the regular sundae on SEA- IAD. I was surprised to see the sundae on a flight catered as Lunch.

What are the meal expectations on my flight Thurs - SEA to DEN... It says Lunch in FC on 2 1/2 hr flight... I just want to make sure this is correct.
I only ask as I fly US Airways (Chairman) weekly and the meals are only served on flights "over" 3 hours.

or
A "wrap" - beef or chicken, or a "parmesan chicken sandwich" which is more like a big bread concoction with some cheese and chicken like product.
Soup
Fruit Cup
Cookie
Personally, the safer choice is the salad, but some people like the wraps.
What does US serve on flights under 3 hours in F?

I was on UA 1445 on Thursday night from IAD-SFO and only got the chocolate shelled strawberry ice cream. The service otherwise was excellent, but I was kinda hoping to try the sundae sometime.
No sundae IAD-PDX on Thanksgiving either, btw.
