I thought the June 15 upgrade meant the return of big bottles in domestic F; I'm guessing that's not the case and it's still individual bottles from BOB Y?

If you like the wine, you can get more of it for $0.75 a bottle ($36 for 48) :

yes there will be meals and no this is no Polaris service. Hawaii flights are Domestic F service (and same fare) regardless of the seat type.

Appreciate the response. For Polaris, I was referring to the retrofits and no longer being the coffins. Glad to know there will be meals again.

Some folks consider the Polaris to be more coffin like than the previous Diamond seats. And prefer the Diamond seats for couples.

But the middle section of the 2-4-2 of the 772HD is fairly universally disliked (except for some family groups). The 772HD will likely be back but they are presently grounded due to the PW engine issue.

Wow that actually looks delicious. Never had Chicken Katsu before, but I’d love to try some of that.

Think of a fried chicken sandwich - without the bread.

The real question is always, did it taste good?

Does anyone happen to know the nutritional facts of the "new" meals that are being served in Domestic F? Specifically are there tree nuts (Walnuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pine Nuts, etc.) in any of the meals? Asked the flight attendant on my flight over the weekend and the response I got was less than positive on this as I was told that United has not given the FA's anything on this yet. I know the chicken dish is labeled a Pesto but doesn't always mean that they actually used Pine nuts in it.

Having an allergic reaction on a plane doesn't sound like how I want to spend my time.

Scored a CPU on a 787-9 ORD to IAH , waffle was really good.... glad to see real food back, especially since I often pay for J.

I had that waffle recently. It is excellent. If it is offered on your flight, take it.

Just add my data point. Pre-COVID, I had this dish in Premium Plus for trips to Japan.
