Just note that pre-arrival Polaris meals are supposed to improve this month (starting today) so I'd be curious for any first-hand reports.

UA149
EWR-GRU Boeing 787-9 with new Polaris seats Meal: Dinner, breakfast My first UA longhaul since March 2020. I was fortunate enough to have the new Polaris seats along with a rather empty mini-cabin. Only 3 passengers in the mini cabin: myself, a deadheading pilot, and a non-rev. Front cabin had around 16 passengers. Menu:

It was terrible. I don't understand why they had to cut the breakfast/pre-arrival meals to this. I would have been perfectly fine with a cereal, yogurt, and fruit--all of which are pre-packaged or sealed anyways.

My flight departed on 1JAN2021, I haven't checked what the meals were last year, but I didn't find my pre-arrival meal an improvement at all.

Pasta Ravioli, is that an oxymoron? Dare they mention what was inside the Pasta Ravioli or was it pasta inside ravioli shaped pasta?

I had this EWR-GRU on Dec 25 also. It was a depressing meal with way too much bread. The cabin crew sort of plonked it all down really quickly too, so it just felt cheap.

I don't know, after rough night with not enough sleep, mysterious eggy food is the last thing I want to eat a 6am in the morning. I much prefer some "fresh" fruit. Maybe some yogurt (even greek) and some breakfast bread (warm cinnamon roll preferably) |

Looks like they've improved the breakfast. I'm sure this improves UA's bottom line.

This. UA needs to up its game in business or it will eventually cost them in customers booking away from UA.

The other US aren't THAT much different. Many people are hub captive, FF program captive, or their company books their flight for them. I suppose the leisure or foreign passenger may book away, but they probably just go by price and schedule. One can still hope and complain :) |
