Wacky First Class Meal Policy - EWR/ORD
I was u/g today on 1062 from Newark to Chicago.
So so let me understand this - I get a packet of crackers in First, but I get 1K free “snack box” in coach?
What kind of stupidity has gripped United now?
Also begs the question why the F cabin passengers weren’t allowed to board at the beginning - told they were “still catering” the F cabin.

Already being discussed here. Be sure to complain to 1K voice though, its the only way they might actually make some changes.

Do you wager one has to actually experience this to complain? I keep ending up on midcons and getting my first choice of a legacy hot meal which is just fine. But if I were ever stiffed with the new cold option, I'd be annoyed. Flying Express on SFO-MSP soon though; curious what they try to serve there..

I don't think you do. The change in policy has been published and anyone who flies UA in domestic F is potentially impacted.

I did get stiffed on YVR-SFO recently, but as I had just gotten off FRA-YVR in LH J, was too full to really care.
