Here's what meals looks like in the COVID-19 era. A reader shared these from a LAX-EWR flight on 3/30/20. Redeye, 9:15p departure had dinner, not snack. Kale lasagna or pesto chicken breast. He ordered pasta and was served mushroom ravioli instead, but then also had the kale lasagna. No menus of course. Looks like nuts are bagged and the cookie has made a return. No coffee or tea. Wine, beer, water, soda, juice all in individual bottles. No cups. No hot towels. Snack basket also made an appearance, but no sandwiches or muffins pre-arrival
Spooky flight...you can read the full review on my blog, if you care to.

To prompt those who are the stalwart FTs who continue to fly UA in the time of COVID-19 and to take and post pictures of those awesome meals offered in domestic F and p.t.s., my red eye snack...

closer ups:
Calzone anyone?

p.s. I've gotten out of the habit of red eyes but, unfortunately, schedule drove me to hop on this flight.

In browsing through the meals posted during this COVID-19 time, some of the dishes look good, if not better than what was dished out before COVID-19. Either I miss flying and cabin food terribly or I am just imagining they look better.

No, your not wrong. That first picture actually looks quite good. I suspect united will be the next SIA in the food department once Covid is over. 😉
