Ahh. I think I see pattern on this forum ^ We`ll be sure not to get on our flights hungry

Cheers
After 1300, I believe you get a snack instead of lunch. Snack should be better than a refreshment though.

As stated earlier, I took SXM-ORD departing at 2:27pm-flight blocked at over 6 hours- and received the snack plate and nothing more.

This doesn't particularly excite me, but United just tweeted this out.

"Delicious"-unlikely. "Glutton-free"-certainly.

So 1) soup is now available with both lunch and dinner?

And 2) nothing like gluten free soup to go alongside a calzone or burrito...

Hoping there is some change on that front too.

Wonder if the dinner thing was a mistake - though on shorter flights like Den-sfo "dinner" is really lunch

Don't forget the delectable side of bread roll instead of salad or fruit.

Flight/Route: UA1689/DEN-SFO
Aircraft/Seat: 737-800/2B
Departure Time/Duration: 7:00 a.m./2:47
Meal: Breakfast


Basic UA breakfast of late; I chose the croissant instead of the cinnamon roll. The fruit bowl was a bit more generous than some I've had recently.

Flight/Route: UA720/SFO-DEN
Aircraft/Seat: 757-200/5E
Departure Time/Duration: 2:44 p.m./2:29
Meal: Lunch


Nuts and some red wine to start; an sUA aircraft but an sCO water glass.



Choice of a shrimp salad or a "chicken club wrap" that turned out to be the burrito-type offering. The shrimp (six of them) were served separate from the salad.



Not a bad salad once it was assembled; the mushroom bisque was above average.



After lunch, the crew served warm, cranberry white chocolate cookies.

I'm looking at ORD-DEN flights in F. Given the new meal policies and exception for this city pair, one would think that the 8:29p departure (UA1177) would be a Snack, but United.com shows Refreshments. Does United provide Refreshments on later flights that usually get meals?

old news

The introduced the gluten free soups back in November. They still only offer soup during domestic F lunch flights and while it would be nice if they offered them with dinner like in the PMCO days, I highly doubt they would improve anything. I mean they still have the same menus from two years ago so since someone at UA is under the impression that the food is "well received" why change?

I was served soup with my domestic mid-con (IAH-DCA) cheeseburger dinner (5:55pm departure time) in late December 2013. It was a sUA A319 if that matters.

Let me rephrase that....the longer mid-cons that get more than salad/sandwich option such. I would have thought that DCA got a proper dinner, given the market, but there seems to be a lack of consistency in which routes get what.
