lol thanks
I can get the cream cheese with bits if salmon rather than lox. I'm excited about this trip and want to maximize my enjoyment of it. The last time I was in economy on united from China to Chicago the food was not that appetizing to me.

I don’t have any problem with my seat mates eating lox cream cheese bagels. I will probably looking at it in jealousy.
However, I do know some people develops negative reaction with the slightest smell of fish. A colleague of mine threw up on the plane because I ordered the Japanese meal option that had seafood and fish sauce.
Perhaps check with your seat mates first before start eating just to be safe.

Several years ago, I was the guy who carried an In-n-Out cheeseburger (animal style, obvs.) and fries on my flight home from LAX. I am sure the bad karma I earned from making the other pax hungry explains at least one of the times since that I've had a can't-miss upgrade mysteriously fail to clear.

Lox and cream cheese: no problem.
Durian....maybe not.

In any case, I agree with the other posters. I don't see an issue with it. Durian, on the other hand...
