Wow...that salad looks tiny. Is that just an optical illusion?
Looks like it is served in the little salt/butter/enchilada sauce bowl. :td: Oh, and congrats on 3 Million Miles. Quite a bit of flying....

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bi9zQbtCMAAh3Zg.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bi_AAw_IYAAhsFP.jpg Only 15 people were in Business, very attentive service & makes me think everyone got their first choice. I was surprised there was a decent amount (and good) prosciutto. The spice rubbed chicken actually had some spice/kick to it and I really liked the pickled cabbage. The snack basket was brought around as we were making our approach and told to bring everything upright (most of the cabin was passed out after the meal until then).

If they had a clue, they would serve something like this along with the chicken "bouquet," "calzone" or whatever it is called:

Not sure if this was discussed in the past, but I have to take it off my chest: Why for the love of mike, does UA keep on adding S&P to each breakfast tray, even when the tray consists of fruit, yogurt and Cheerios with Milk? I would assume that by not serving those in meals that DO NOT need S&P, UA can easily save a few hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
like I said - had to get it off my chest... :rolleyes: R |
A little salt on a slice of watermelon enhances the sweetness, IMHO.

I reported in the special meals thread but thought I would add to this thread that EWR-LAX/SFO will transition from PS equivalent catering to the standard transcon catering effective APR 1.
I have to hold hope that this means that standard catering will improve at some point right? |

DEN-LAX
United 781 A320 10:05A-11:37A (sked) 10:05A-11:20A (actual) March 29, 2014 Lunch I'm not a big United fan, but I give them props today. One time departure, early arrival and one of the best domestic FAs of the year, DEN-based Connie. She's been doing this for a long time and unlike other bored senior FAs, seemed to love her job. Wow, what a refreshing change to the usual domestic crews. Wifi? Unfortunately, it was like watching grass grow compared to gogo. http://sfo777.smugmug.com/Other/CO/i...IMG_6454-L.jpg Lunch today was a choice of... surprise, surprise... shrimp salad or chicken wrap, with cream of mushroom soup. Unlike AA which has great variety and great catering, UA pax are not so lucky. Mrs. SFO passed on lunch deciding to wait for the Star Alliance FCL at LAX. I took one for the team and chose the chicken wrap. Can this presentation be any uglier?? http://sfo777.smugmug.com/Other/CO/i...IMG_6468-L.jpg Looks a lot better when you dig inside and peel away to wrap. Heads will roll at catering on Monday when someone discovers they used at least two ounces of chicken in each wrap. Not bad without the wrap, especially with chipotle sauce. http://sfo777.smugmug.com/Other/CO/i...IMG_6470-L.jpg White chocolate and cranberry cookie. http://sfo777.smugmug.com/Other/CO/i...IMG_6472-L.jpg UA catering? Meh. Wifi? Meh. But service today was outstanding. |

Working on a trip report; I'd forgotten about this flight among the many nicer meals I had on EVA Air, Thai and All Nippon.
Flight/Route/Date: UA1727/DEN-SFO/Feb. 28, 2014 Aircraft/Seat: 737-800/2E Departure Time/Duration: 11:10 a.m./2:47 Meal: Lunch http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ Nuts and red wine to start. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ Chicken salad or chicken wrap. The reduction in the amount of chicken served is pretty obvious. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ Not bad once assembled with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ French onion soup with croutons. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ The wrap in all its pasty glory. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a4...D720/ry%3D480/ Oatmeal-raisin cookies to finish. Nice, professional service from the youngish Denver-based crew. |
March
B757 F BOS-SFO Breakfast Swiss cheese omelet, cheddar potato gratin (non-broccoli version), turkey sausage, and tomato garnish with croissant or Cinnamon roll, fruit bowl, and Yoplait honey Greek yogurt. Other choice of main was Honey Nut Cheerios and a banana, plus the side items. (Snack basket was also distributed about 2 hours before landing, then available in the galley.) While basic, this was a decent breakfast selection. The eggs tasted more real than the hockey puck thing, and the "refreshed" yogurt is less sickly sweet than the old strawberry type. I also realized that the trick to avoid getting scalded by the cherry tomato is to cut it in half first. :cool: |
I gotta say the cinnamon buns are always delish….happy they swapped yogurt but haven't been on a breakfast flight for a while.

UA1006 BOG-IAH
Int'l 752 Dinner (red-eye) No menu. The choices were beef or a fish/shrimp combination. I went for the fish. It was sloppily plated, cold, and basically inedible. Came with a green salad that was poorly shredded and had I think one black olive and one tomato wedge. Desert was a single foil wrapped truffle that looked as if it had been left in the sun all day. Service was awful. Only exception was the purser, who turned out to be pretty pleasant. But she didn't show up front until after the dinner service. Connecting to . . . UA1276 IAH-LAX Int'l 752 Breakfast The standard horrible UA breakfast that I've seen at least 20 times over the past two years. I passed on everything. Service was (again) awful. |
Upcoming DEN-SEA trip, blocked at 2hr, 50 min and 1024 miles.
It is the 8:06pm departure so I am aware this is not within the 'traditional' meantime window for purpose of UA's policy.Wouldn't this then qualify for the snack plate as it is >900 miles? On my itinerary, it is coded as 'refreshments'. Anyone else able to provide a firsthand experience? Also, FWIW, as much as the 'snack' is hated I don't mind it because I am vegetarian. The salty lunch meat aside, it provides me a decent snack similar to what I would eat home. |
My 6 recent/upcoming meal-eligible segments on UA, here's the offering (in order):
breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, breakfast, snack, snack I managed to avoid traditional meal times after breakfast. Lucky me. |
