One reason I will never select that option. Nor should anyone else. “I will select on board” is fine. My understanding is extras go to the crew anyway

Curious what to expect for Breakfast on LAX-IAH next week? I know I should get the option a few days out to select but would this be the breakfast menu I saw above where waffles and/or French toast are an option with 4 total choices or is this going to be a simple 2 choice deal of yogurt or something with eggs?

Gone, except on flights to Hawaii where a cookie pie will be warmed up before landing.

However, Kacee reports with no bags, now nothing offered: General discussion of UA's inflight service (Domestic / International, all cabins)

The egg scramble is great in my opinion. Haven't tried the others yet.

Flew PVR-LAX this week on UA244. The flight was double-catered in LA, so it was the same chicken zatar or meatball choices. I thought we might get the Dole cup instead of fresh fruit, but thankfully the fruit was still fresh. Honestly, I don't mind this dish at all. I find the meatballs pretty bad, though.

Assuming the UAX E175s still don't have ovens for hot first class meals, what would a cold lunch be on a IAH-LGA flight? Is it a snack box, or some plated cold entree served on a tray?

Should be the latter.

I just finished a breakfast meal on UAX E75. Oatmeal was disgusting, croissant was hard and dry, only yogurt and a small fruit bowl was ok. I normally finish everything, even on UA's terrible food, but this was another level, I had to leave a lot of food unfinished. I really thought UA couldn't sink any lower but it always find a new way to surprise.

Yikes. That sounds pretty bad. Now I'm really curious about a cold lunch would consist of.

Thanks. I'll pace myself accordingly in the UC before the flight.

What route/amount of miles is that for? LAX/IAH wouldnt get all those choices for breakfast?
