Generally available on all flights (including widebodies) over 900 miles except Premium Transcon (EWR<>SFO/LAX)
Pre-order has priority on the flight even about GS/1K and while originally pre-order was limited to a portion of each inflight choice, recent reports pre-order can consume the entire flight's allocation of a particular offering.

Dinner preorder not available on my Sunday evening flight CLT-IAH. Its a 737-900 and is over 800 miles. Maybe not available ex-CLT?
Was told by FA that not available at CLT outstation

Which would did you order? I presume given your status you got what you wanted. I had the chicken meatballs the other night and they were pretty good! I actually burned my mouth on the polenta. I am having the mushroom ravioli for dinner tomorrow night. Wanted to try both.

I just got a generic reminder e-mail from United that they have pre-ordering. By generic, I mean that I don't have any flights on UA until New Year's Day, so this seems to just be a general reminder that the pre-order feature exists.
I am very much a fan of the pre-order feature and I definitely use it.

Got it also and was briefly worried I'd either forgotten to cancel an itinerary or had booked something in a late-night stupor

As someone who has been receiving the selection emails for a long time, I was a bit surprised they're reminding me about the option.

Add me to the list of confused fliers who got the generic "pre-order" email and I have no immediate UA flights coming up that would warrant this. Why is UA spamming us during the holidays for something so mundane I wonder?
