UA717
BOS-LAX
6hr, 38min

Broken, cold nuts to start.

Dinner after takeoff - choice of chicken breast with grits or cheese paneer. Very "banquet" style chicken, but I needed the protein.

Ice cream (whip cream or hot chocolate only) for dessert then cookie halfway through flight.

Pretty skimpy for such a long flight.

Hot option was buffalo mac and cheese. Cold option was arugula salad with chicken. I (foolishly) hadn't eaten much all day and was famished so I got the buffalo mac and cheese. As you can see below catering decide to put about 5lbs of breadcrumbs on it, making it almost inedible. After scooping many of them off I did eat it, but mainly because I was so hungry. I would have gotten a snack box to hold me over to the polaris lounge but the boxes are basically just straight junk food.

I like the reddish sauce they serve with the chicken & grits.

Any idea why QRO-IAH is listed as refreshments, but BJX-IAH is a meal? The flight times are essentially the same at a little over 2 hours.

I suspect someone has determined IAH-BJX is a more profitable market than IAH-QRO. Not a perfect comparison because it is mainline, but IAH-MCO, for example, is longer and further than IAH-BJX, and it is snack.

IAD-LAX
UA719
Boeing 777-200

24h of non-stop aircraft musical chairs. The flight was originally scheduled as 787-10 -> 23h before flight, changes to a 787-8 -> 20h before flight, changes to a 787-8 retrofitted (!), plane ended up MX in LAX I think -> 14h before flight, changes to a 3-class sUA 772 ugh. I was in 1L on the 787, but instead of re-assigning me to an old Global First seat, they kick me back to 10K, geez thanks :rolleyes:

Meal was similar as above post 16, except I chose the paneer instead of the chicken.

There might have been, I fell asleep. I saw my seatmate with an empty plate, so they probably gave them out while I was asleep.

Had the same paneer dish a few days ago for the first time, and thought it was very bland. I'm avoiding that one going forward.

What is the ice cream flavour? It looks purple, but I wonder if that is from the lighting. I am conditioned to expect vanilla (or lemon sorbet) on UA.

It was a strawberry gelato, but the strawberry flavor wasn't really strong.

Hm, well expanding the variety is nice, at least.

Did they put the tray down that way (upside-down) or did you spin it around for some reason?
