why is PP domestic in this thread when they are served the J meals?

Shouldn't domestic PP be in the united first/business/ and premium transcon dining thread?

That's what warreng24 and the fearless leaders of this forum did since 2020 is to combine the two.

that was when domestic O received the economy meal, however. Things have since changed to where O now receives the J meal

01/08: LAX-EWR breakfast

Sadly I picked poorly.

Offered el ham/cheese thingy or impossible sandwich and went with the thingy. Bad move.

This is what the ham / cheese thingy is supposed to be (at least UA's image):



This is what I got:






All I can say is - if you like gushy cheese with some ham chunks, this is for you. It isn't and wasn't for me.

Eat and learn.

Got my tomato juice on the second beverage cart pass:

Pretzel Burger

EWR-LAX


Tastes pretty good, usual layer of grease covering everything (from the melting cheese)

Looks identical to the pre-order burger currently being offered in domestic F.

Thanks, good to know, I had FOMO since my upgrade usually clears too late to pre-order domestic F meals.

Another victim of the ham and cheese

👎👎 It's small, it doesn't taste good.

That thing is absolutely one of the worst items UA is serving these days.
