www.unitedexplus.com -- "meals" served on explus?
Looking around united.com this morning, I came across some explus material I'd never seen before:
http://www.united.com/page/article/0...Link=%2Fexplus
http://www.unitedexplus.com/ (similar to the p.s. website -- a little over the top?)
The first link indicates meal service during mealtimes for first class passengers on flights over 2.5 hours, but I thought explus was planning to offer the "premium" snack boxes that United equated to gift baskets -- not "meals." Does anyone know anything about or have any experience with the actual in-flight service?
(Also, the link below misleadingly indicates meal service for all passengers -- not just first class: http://www.mymileageplus.com/mmp/dyn...sofferdesc.mmp.)
Just seems like a lot of hype to me -- what does everyone else think?

The F "meal" is just a snack box, I believe. The CR7's don't ovens or fridges, although I think the E70's at least have ovens, not that they are used for F meals (yet).
