United First
Boeing 767 Ghetto-Bird
Lunch
Aircraft was not clean upon boarding. There were several wrappers in my seat-back pocket, but at least the headphones and blanket were wrapped in plastic. Catering was still being boarded at the same time as boarding, so PDB was significantly delayed, but finally offered choice of OJ or water.
After take-off, drink of choice served with warm nuts. Followed by the gold "Premier snack mix." Not sure why the redundancy, but I guess one can never have enough nuts!
Followed by hot towel.
Choice of chicken terryaki salad or warm Black Forest Ham sandwich.
Having had bad experiences with UA's warm sandwichs in the past, I went with the salad. It was quite good and filling. It consisted with greens, apricots, bell peppers, candied nuts.
It was served with a warm roll with butter and warm chocolate chip cookie on the tray.

And if you do get it, for the love of god go with the salad. The sandwich is a giant greasy mess

Some sort of beef with a mystery sauce. Rice and broccoli was also included. The BOB from the back was more tasty than what we got in biz.

Do UA flights in F still get breakfast on the EWR-ORD route @7am? UA.com specifically dosn't list a meal but if i remember correctly this is one of those routes where it dosn't list it but you do get it?
Anyone have a guess what the new EWR-ORD at 1033am route would get? Does UA even give anything in F on this route?

Last I heard, the ex-Business1 Flights are getting a fruit or deli plate now (cold) in lieu of a meal.

2/25 999 IAD-STT A320 (one of the former TED birds with leather seats)
First class had the choice of an omelet with home fries, small bowl of fruit, and bagel or croossant, or fruit plate with yogurt and same bread choice. We had one of each, and both were good.
3/1 999 STT-SJU-IAD A320
First had warm nuts (and a refill), followed by a choice of a turkey sandwich (we both passed) or a spinach salad with seasoned shrimp, bacon, red peppers, and artichoke hearts, with a roll and cake. The salad was surprisingly good - I hope they keep it in the rotation.

If one looks at the "2009 Meal Threads", one should find photos of the breakfast and Shrimp Salad. I posted the turkey sandwich photo in this thread back in January.

Here's a new series of recent (February) meals.
Flight/Route: UA988/DEN-LAX
Aircraft/Tail/Seat: 777-200/N987UA/8J (Business)
Departure Time/Duration: 8:20 a.m./2:31
Meal: Breakfast
I took this flight in F back in December; the breakfast, unfortunately, was not as good. The good part was a nice mimosa, courtesy of the sparkling wine for sale in Y.
Breakfast was a spinach omelet with sausage and potatoes.
I don't know if this is a result of the LSG health department issue, but the eggs were those "prefab" ones you'd see at the breakfast buffet at the Hampton Inn. Little circles sized to go on an English muffin. Two of these were sandwiched with some spinach inside and a bunch of yellow cheese on top. It tasted OK, but looked tacky.
A croissant/butter/straberry jam and a small fruit bowl were also on the tray. The fruit (grapes, pineapple, melon) looked better than the December version.

Flight/Route: UA466/SFO-DEN
Aircraft/Tail/Seat: A-319/N824UA/2B
Departure Time/Duration: 4:26 p.m./2:40
Meal: Dinner
After an aircraft swap (yes, I did lose my row-3 seat on the A-320, but kept my upgrade) and a late departure, smoking-hot nuts (I could see the galley
) and some Red Tree Cabernet started things off.
Dinner was a choice of tortellini or a peppered-steak salad.
A large piece of steak, sliced, was served on a bed of greens, with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, yellow peppers and candied walnuts. Two tubs of Naturally Fresh Lite Ranch Dressing, a warm roll/butter (sourdough or whole wheat were offered) and a small piece of carrot cake were also on the single tray. This salad was great; huge, tasty and filling. The beef was tender and had a peppery flavor.
