Complimentary Food & Beverage for GS & 1K Members when Seated in Economy (Archive}
Hi everyone,
Beginning today, January 20, 2016, we will be offering Premier 1K and Global Services members 1 complimentary beverage and 1 complimentary Choice Menu food item when seated in United Economy for all UA/UAX flights within North America (all 50-state U.S. flights, Canada, Caribbean, Mexico and Central America).
As many of you noted back in October 2015, we began offering 1 complimentary drink to our Global Services and Premier 1K members seated in Economy, and this is an expansion of that program to recognize and show appreciation for your business. We are communicating these changes to our internal teams now and an email communication with more details will also be sent to eligible members in the coming days. Before ordering, let your flight attendant know that you are a Global Services or Premier 1K member and show your digital MileagePlus membership card, Premier membership card, or boarding pass.
As always, we appreciate your feedback.
Thank you,

This is awesome (although slightly annoying that we have to show proof but that's a minor detail)! Thanks UA Insider!

Bravo for another step in the right direction.
Question: Does this apply to family members traveling on the same PNR, like E+ seating access?

Awesome announcement - now I don't have to do the "Will I or will I not get the upgrade today and do I need to eat beforehand just in case" game.

When you notice the traveler shaking his/her cup somewhere in E+, that's a platinum asking for 1K/GS drink chits.
I'm happy for you guys, I promise!

A change I like! My RPU for HNL-EWR this march hasnt cleared yet. If I really get stuck in E+, at least I'll get some food. Another example of a minor "cheap" change that goes a long way.
