Is there a lime shortage again? ("True Lime" alternative)
Three flights this week with associated lounge visits. Every single time there has either been no lines for my G&T or I’ve been asked if I want one. This varies from my recent experiences, where it just came with a slice for lime. |

My flight last night from DEN-IAH flight attendant said there were no lines catered on the flight.

The while thing just reeks of “cheap”. Don’t G&Ts come with a lime, or in some countries lemon, by definition? Do people actually say “no”? |

Is there a lime shortage again? Limes have a lower market, moderate demand. Wide range in price, quality and condition |

I drink Diet Coke with a Lime, and have been on these routes in January. BOG-IAH-YYZ-SFO-SIN,EWR,TLV and all flights and the Polaris lounges had a Lime everytime. Just another data point.

My issue is that even when I get a lime (which is not always), it is the tiniest sliver imaginable. You need two or three of these slices to infuse decent lime flavor into a G&T.
Question of the day: How many slices do you think UA cuts a single lime into? I'm guessing closer to 32 than to 16. |
I also had to go limeless earlier this week. I think it was TPA-DEN.

I have not had a lime for vodka&sodas on my 13 segments last 2 weeks. Was told especially ex-ORD and ex-DEN that no limes were catered. But they did have lime flavored Dasani sparkling. |
Can we take matters into our own hands? Are lime wedges allowed thru by TSA? Do we have to cut them into 3.4 ounce wedges and fit them into a 1 liter bag?
