Haven't seen soup in United F (as opposed to Polaris F) for years.

The last time I remember soup on a domestic flight was summer 2015.

Any recent reports on what dinner is for LAX/SFO-HNL?

Thanks SR and transportprof for responding.

Yes, I went back to my photos from a June 2017 trip PHL - IAH (lunch) and IAH - LAX (dinner) and no soup. Last few flights I haven't been upgraded so no chance to compare yet for the latest food downgrades

DEN-EWR UA 513 yesterday. Choice of pizza or salmon and salad.
Had the pizza and was surprised how decent it was. Filling too

same menu items on UA478 Oct 15, listed as "Lunch". Had the salmon salad and tastes good. With separate nuts service as well.

Seems like dessert is now served on the same tray as the entire meal.

Oct. 15 EWR-LAS UA 1794 lunch

I had the Spanish paella with shrimp and sausage of chicken. Rather good. The other choice was some kind of salad, but I don't remember the details. After lunch we got a slice of chocolate cheesecake, very tasty but no doubt many calories.

I was a bit amused that the FA pronounced paella with an L sound instead of the proper sound which is more like a Y sound. But that's okay; his service was good. There are a number of webpages that give the proper pronunciation.

Looks like Scott Kirby is destroying United's catering just like he destroyed AA's a couple of years ago. But then again, DL is also racing to the bottom.

This is what happens when VX gets swallowed by AS. Someone needs to start another premium airline

Oct. 18 LAS-EWR UA 1591 breakfast

I had the quiche, which was pretty good. The plate also had Chobani strawberry yogurt, also very good. The other choice was a Greek protein plate; the FA mentioned feta cheese and hummus, among other things. After lunch we got a wafer-shaped "waffel" (yes, spelled like that instead of waffle) containing a filling of caramel and something else that was sweet. A tasty dessert.

Of course there are webpages that write about waffel versus waffle, but I don't want to go OT.

Must've meant they didn't cater the cookies (assuming they haven't cut those too) and gave out the stroopwafels in coach...

Let's hope the pizza is better than the last time UA served pizza in first class...



Carbs with carbs and a side of carbs.

Carbs are cheap - and when a cheapskate is in charge, I guess we should be thankful he isn't charging us for these carbs....yet?
