Are these new napkins the same size or smaller? After the earlier reduction in cup size I'd like to make sure United is not pulling another fast one on us.

Love the napkins
this may sound crazy- but is there any way to purchase these napkins? I am also obsessed with them - great design, happy vintage look.

Going back to old napkins?
On two different flights I got the old coca cola napkins. But I also (on a third flight) got the 'new' napkins.

Are we losing the nice new napkins?

I think the “new” napkins are now the old napkins, unfortunately. Might change though, they change the design every few months, they’ll probably switch it up again soon.

Given the quality in general of food and wine and other stuff am I alone in finding a napkin thread somewhat distressing ?

Indeed, as we have both found out through trial and error....

Time to resurrect one of my favorite threads!

new napkins today, seagrams branded. It’s cheesy to need a sponsor for napkins, but these do look much better than the coca-cola branded ones from a few years ago.

I had asked for a can of a ginger ale on board - on brand.

With these new paper napkins aboard, I can hardly wait to resume flying UA again for the first time since February 2020!
