Good to hear! Think I'll be able to get 2 stroopwaffel on EWR-HNL? A substantive snack for EWR/IAD/ORD-HNL in Y should be the next announcement.

So will this apply to ALL flights mainline/express? What is the duration cutoff? 2+ hours?

I wonder how much longer UA will continue charging for mid-flight snacks on TATL and TPAC flights now that they are giving them away on much shorter domestic flights?
An inverted snack curve - charging on long-hauls where they've "got you" and giving them out on shorter domestic flights could look worse than charging for all snacks, at least for those on the long-hauls.
