The Man in Seat 9A

Flew SFO-EWR last week on a 772 True Polaris config. Wife was in business, I was in Premium Economy. Preorder worked for her, never showed up for me (separate PNRs). My on-board options were "Chicken or Pasta". Got the chicken, same thing my wife pre-ordered. It was not bad. Not too dry, liked the vegetables with it.

UA does not (yet) offer pre-order for PremPlus

Oh Thanks, was wondering if that was the case, but couldn't find it documented anywhere.

Very weird dish (cheese tortellini, chick peas + peas) - but I liked it !

PDB of water or OJ.

Pre-ordered the Bechamel egg scramble and I thought it looked terrible but tasted fine. YMMV.

Polaris to Europe - they served the entree as a separate course. I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on this because some people here seem to think that dragging out meals as long as long as possible is the most important thing

There have been multiple posts on the topic from people here who think that eating cold entrees served cafeteria style is beneath an international business class cabin.

PDB of Water or Sparkling Wine. I chose the water.
Warm nuts served with drink of choice after takeoff
I had the Cobb Salad



Salad felt like it was missing something. The chicken was cold, and being served as a side dish seemed tacky. Roll was warm when served but cold when I ate it.
Disclaimer: I'm not a big salad person, but I wanted to start the trip off on a healthy note.



Sundae was awesome



Pre arrival plate was OK. Better than the salad.

Great crew. Only offered refills once, but maintained visible throughout.

A change in service delivery has begun for flights over 3900 miles. The appetizer will be served ahead of the main, in courses. This is directly the result of customer feedback where shorter distance flights will retain one tray service to provide more time for sleep, while longer flights will provide a chance for a more leisurely meal service. You can always ask for Express Dining and get everything at once on the longer flights if you prefer.

Last minute flight change to RDU-SFO on Saturday, so no pre-order.

PDB of water or sparking wine. Front to back order taking. Sounded like the pre-orderers got what they wanted. In row 5/5 my wife and I were offered "Chicken Pizzeola" and "Tortellini" we took one of each.

Hot towels. Then drink orders taken. Then warm nuts and drinks. Then food. Napkin with a buttonhole! (I know, wrong thread).

The tortellini looked a lot like seanp7's. Everything tasted pretty good. The chicken was not dry. The broccoli was overcooked but well seasoned. The bread was warm and not stale. I actually liked the cheese tart/cheese cake dessert. Flight attendant came through for drink refills several times through the rest of the flight. Overall a very nice domestic first experience.

Pleasantly surprised with the options for this domestic first class ticket. I feel like I actually have the choice of three or four good looking entrées. I think I’m gonna go for the chicken bordelaise. Seems like it will go good with white wine. The salad, pasta, and aji verde also look good.

The eggplant out of DEN has been consistently excellent, and I don't like eggplant much... it's not a light meal though.

This could be served a Vegetarian meal if needed; who knows if the bacon bites are real.

they look just like the bacon bits that come in the big bag from sam's club
