Meals seem to already be updated based off my 01/28 flight but further enhancements would be nice, especially to the fruit cup and breakfast bread! Happy travels.
I used the date trick on my phone and it looks like its holding in old config, but of course i am compulsive and check constantly thanks

Probably still too earlier -- check another 8 hours, may be 12

I still haven't seen the candied oranges they used to serve with them in some time.
Which flights do they have them on?

I believe they should have the Old Fashioned's on all flights. I've only seen the candied oranges in premium transcon or international Polaris

Have had to fly back and forth between LAX/DEN a couple times and they have not loaded them, sadly (and FAs looked hard!). I've just seen them on my ps flights. I know iluv2fly said he had them on non-ps flights.

In the past (pre COVID) I've had them on non PS flights as well.

Generally they used to have them on every flight, including UAX.

I only once ever saw the orange peel, though, and it was on a p.s. flight. That time, I didn't even try it -- after I had gotten most of my way through the cocktail, the FA happily came by to show me what he found, but I wasn't looking for a second serving then. Kind of wish I had done, though.

Well, having asked for a few Old Fashioned (pre-CV19), sometimes the FAs would provide me with "spares" for later:



My last "spare" bottle from a UA flight....

Looks like a supply-your-own-orange-peel situation!

Yes, candied and stored in the syrup -- although I'll confess the ones I was shown onboard looked more 'apeeling' than my homemade ones.

When it comes to delicious cocktails with one's UA First, Business, and Premium Transcon meals, better safe than sorry!

Bring your own peels?
