Absolutely nothing on UA 875 SFO-HND, other than the bottle of water.
So premium. |

What I don't get is the inconsistency in getting water as PDB on a long haul international flight. Sometimes they offer it first alongside prosecco, sometimes on demand, and sometimes they tell me drink from the bottle stored at the seat. Entirely a first world issue. :) |
1/24 UA 2331 IAD-RDU A-319: OJ or Water
|
LAS-LAX UA 625 on 1/24. Entire F cabin offered drink of your choice by awesome FA. This is typically a stingy route for drinks.
My only complaint. My Bacardi/Diet came with Lemon and not Lime. (Kidding, not a complaint) |
My flights IAD-ORD-HND all offered PDB, though ORD-HND only had water or sparkly (no OJ offered). Return was in Y so nada there, though as a 1K I had no issues with multiple booze pours and had several FAs running commentary as how a 1K should have a better idea of what snacks are available (I explained I hadn't flown Y in years, which is 100% true for mainline).

1/25 DEN EWR 787-9. Water and OJ offered. I asked for Prosecco, and it was served.
Inflight service excellent with many refills for entire cabin. |

I usually ask for a Diet Coke. A number of FAs say that they can serve that after takeoff. I say that I would really like one now and it's policy that they can give me one. Many do come back with one "reluctantly". One FA actually went to the captain to report me. He came to my seat and asked if I was going to be an issue on this flight. Unbelievable. Thought I was going to be history. I told him that I think his FA overreacted. Luckily, he believed me and that was it. Afterwards, my seatmate said that she regretted not telling him that I was polite and not aggressive. |

First flights of the year for me—
UA2391 MCI-DEN B738 :td: — the flight wasn’t full and we sat at the gate for several minutes with nobody boarding due to the light load. Crew talked in the galley and didn’t do PDBs. UA604 DEN-SYR A319 :tu: — The Purser offered a choice of water, OJ or sparkling wine and offered to make mimosas. :tu: |
1/22 LAX - DEN UA1547 B777HD - Full selection of PBD and very good service throughout the flight.
|
1800 ORD-SNA PDB but no alcohol
Flight 1800 ORD-SNA 1/28/23 PDB offered but only water and orange juice. I said something about holding out for sparkling wine and she laughed nicely.
Great and funny captain speech before flight. Gate attendant politely enforced pre boarding limited which was nice to see, they had a good system. |
