Does United serve the burger on international flights? I really hope so, because I’ll be on the 17 hour SFO-SIN 787-9 and your feedback has been most inspirational. But if not, I sense that the United meals have improved in recent years leaving attractive alternatives?

I've found its always been one of the most consistently edible items on UA Flights. And since I always travel with some extra packets of condiments (Mayo, Horsey Sauce, Spicy Mustard) I can adulterate the taste even more.

No! It can’t be! I’m flying Monday! Arrrrrggggghhhhh!
UA website version of Bistro items still show the brioche cheeseburger, not that I’d expect it (or the magazine) to be synched with catering at menu transitions.
Maybe someone can take pic of fresh options in next couple of days?

They offered me an "Everything Burger" on a PS flight today, which is very similar to the old pretzel bun cheeseburger except (1) condiments are gone, (2) tomatoes and lettuce are back, and (3) the pretzel bun has been replaced by what is essentially an everything bagel. I preferred the old one, but this new version isn't bad.

Cheeseburger was one of the meal choices in F last week SFO-ORD (the other was cheese ravioli. lame). Pretzel bun. Lettuce, tomato, pickle in a ramekin. Slice of gouda on a separate plate. I can't recall if Sir Kensington condiememts or back to Heinz.
Maybe they got rid of the cheeseburger in BoB to make sure that the meal in F was differentiated...

I still don’t know why they have different options on ex-Canada flights. Even on short flights, the snacks are different. Don’t know about now since the multiple snack options became available (I’ll find out later this month), but at least when they started with Stroopwafels and then switched to the maple cookies domestically, ex-Canada We’ve gotten the ok, but kind of weird, Peak Freans cookies - I think cranberry orange or something. As a Canadian, I have no problem with Peak Freans, but at least give us the good stuff, like the strawberry/cream sandwich cookies. (And ironic they had maple cookies domestically, but not ex-Canada).
