When choosing my seats online, I've never seen anywhere on the seat map that specifies where the windows are. Is there a special function/feature to see this?

The IT shows you which J seats in a Polaris cabin are pointed towards and away from the window

9pm departure EWR-MSY, 3 hr 25 scheduled. Will I only get the snack basket or will it be a trayed snack offered? Can I request something from Y for no charge?

Snack basket only, since short haul and after 8 PM - something free from the back (which would be limited to snack boxes and packaged snacks) would be dependent upon the crew.

So there's no policy on this I guess? Would I be out of line asking for, say, a Tapas box?

No formal policy that I am aware of. Not out of line to ask, but no recourse if they say no....

So what are the chances of my mainline LGA-IAH morning flight on Friday having the cold oatmeal with mango as one of the breakfast options? Haven't flown UA since September, but I used to fly this route about twice a month. I remember having the oatmeal as an option half the time, but other times it was the egg pastry thing or protein plate. I remember the oatmeal being one of the better tasting options compared to the eggs or protein plate.

Maybe 50%? The cold options seem to vacillate between oatmeal and protein plate; I think only those two for some time now. The hot options are egg pastry, egg/ham on croissant-style bread, and maybe that horrid egg white plus tasteless cheese sandwich (not sure if it's been banished yet). You'll get a choice of hot or cold.

Had it 8 days ago EWR-IAH (see post 51).

Thanks for pointing it out. Your post 53 has photos of the croissant style bread thing. ^

I will post a picture of the oatmeal if anyone requests.

Never thought I'd be typing this but haven't seen how United and its FAs serve up oatmeal on an aircraft, so I'll request you post.

Principally interested in how big a serving that they offer.

I’ve been doing ORD-SJU a lot recently and in January they had a scrambled egg benedict that I liked (though I tend to like most breakfasts, so not the most discerning). In February we started getting the egg and kale pastry. Return trip (Lunch) has been chicken or salmon, though they seem to have new vegetables as of February.

Correct - it’s post 51 that has the egg white sandwich. That’s what I wrote. :)

Here it is:

The oatmeal bowl is the size of the fruit bowl that comes with the croissant thing. The oatmeal's fruit bowl is larger, with about 30% more fruit.

Total oatmeal + fruit (ignoring the chobani) feels like about 50% of the calories of the sandwich + fruit. Tastes pretty good.


Ah yes, I was pointing out that you had photos of both sandwiches (posts 51 and 53). Sorry for the ambiguity.
