Any success by anyone in getting a tomato juice on a United flight?

“Passengers should see tomato juice restocked on our aircraft this summer,” said United spokesman Jonathan Guerin, “Maybe by July.”

Thank you WineCountry. My next United flight is July 11, so fingers crossed.

Gosh that has taken an awful long time to get back into the supply chain.

Maybe not -- would not be surprized for these changes to take 2-3 months to get in place and the change to delete tomato juice probably had been planned for just as long.

No Juice

IAD to SFO in F.

According to FA no juice "right now". Very frustrating. #nojuice

I will take the over on that one. July 15 was the consensus from our flight crew last night.

I don’t even care much for TJ but I plan to request it next month, just because. I am fuming over the loss of Sprite Zero and stroopwaffel. Those plus Illy are the entirety of my UA on board diet.

Hope @fezzington is right and the FAs on @bluedemon211 's flight are wrong as I am flying SFO-HKG on July 11 and really hoping there is tomato juice....

Hemispheres July 2018 issue was in the seat pockets for the 772 for this evening's BOS-SFO - Mott's tomato juice is specifically listed - and absent from the June issue.

FWIW.

I hate tomato juice so I’m reading this thread in amazement over the ooitpour of anger of this move-it’s amusing to me. I do love stroppwafels, but I’m hearing that’s just a temporary move.
i don’t drink Sprite Zero but I do get the Dasani lime or Diet Coke on board. I’m glad they switched to Illy two years ago. That’s much better than the craptastic coffee Smisek had on board.

I'm reading your post in "amazement" at the way you single-handedly go from amazement to understanding in two sentences as to why people might be a teensy-weensy bit annoyed!
