Tapas no mas? (Not available on flights currently)
Forgot to ask about this last week when I was told tapas boxes had been removed from flights. The two FAs I've asked have just said they were pulled and no ETA on when they'll be back. They both lamented their removal since it's a very popular item. Anyone know more details? I love the Tapas box.

Tapas is also my go-to when stuck in coach. My DEN-LGA flight this week was the first to announce that the box was out of stock. However, all my other flights (including that day and the 10 or so in the two weeks prior) all had the tapas box when I ordered it and/or made no announcement it wasn't available. I figured it was just a stock issue out of Denver. Maybe not?

I wonder if there is an issue with the contents? That wouldn't be the first time a product like processed hummus was recalled for contamination or something else.
Anecdotally, the Tapas box seems to be the most popular, so I couldn't imagine UA just cutting it without a replacement.

I actually liked the original Classic box better than the Tapas. They changed the contents of the classic, and I hate it. I wish they would bring that one back.

Horrible news. My go to box on my snack flights. It wasn't available last week for me either on ORD-DEN, and now I know why.

Just asked for one on Sunday and was simply told they were "sold out". Sorry to hear they are being phased out. It was my go to meal.
