sometimes, a great FA gives me a bottle of wine. I don’t dare blog about it for fear the FA will get in trouble.

Many moons ago, like probably pre 911 (the black day in history, not the introduction of that phone number) I recall being able to send booze to friends sitting in coach without the FAs giving it a second thought. Seems like I even shared a meal that way once, probably because it was eggs which I don't eat.

If I get lucky I may take a long haul international flight for my birthday, and will be interested to see how the service matches to what I recall from a few years back when my last similar flight brought me back from TPE to IAH non stop on EVA (UA Partner).

I'd love to see UA restore more choice in the available booze served at least up front.

A little veggie-heavy but still a pleasant surprise. Think I'll try the burger this time.

That’s all fine and well, but the burger itself still adds to the “this contains way more saturated fat and sodium than you should have in a week” column. Also the ragu isn’t the most nutritious of options either. The chicken that way is still decent. Though I haven’t flown F in a few months now and it looks as if the chicken has degraded in quality.

Thanks!
