As I posted about a few days ago, I had my first mainline flight from Tampa to Washington Dulles this morning. I was worried by the fact that the flight was listed as having no meal service on united.com, but fortunately that wasn’t the case. While it was a “picnic box” meal, it was food, and food on an 810 mile flight is a good thing. So I guess I can expect meals from now on, which makes me even more excited about Ted going bye-bye.
It’s also interesting to note just how much United loves cheese. I had a cheese omelet and they also had cheese and crackers. C’mon United, this is a breakfast flight!
United might be figuring that an abundance of cheese will lead to an increasing waistline which, in turn, will increase the passenger's propensity for needing F on future travels.
Either that, or the need to purchase an extra seat while flying in Economy.
At least you did not get the dreaded fruit and cheese plate: United's favorite short haul flight snack that is disgusting.
Waiiiit! The Ex-Ted A320's have those gross TV tray meals in F?
Say it ain't so!
nothing wrong with cheese, lucky. better than a breakfast with danish, and sugary fruit yogurt! but this is coming from a dutch person....
@ ua_to_ord -- LMAO, you might be onto something there. :D
@ ual757 -- Usually they don't, but I think in this case they do because the food overnights in TPA, as it was flown in from the catering facility at a hub. As soon as all flights into TPA are mainline, I'm betting they'll do meal catering here in TPA.
