United Upgrades Premium In-Flight Dining

Feb 2, 2015
Daily / Feature

United Airlines premium-cabin passengers on flights within North America are enjoying a new dining experience. On Feb. 1, the airline elevated in-flight dining options for United First and United Business customers. United expanded its North America premium-cabin meal service to include flights of at least 800 miles, or as short as two hours and 20 minutes.

Created by United’s team of chefs and inspired by cuisine in the airline’s hub cities and other popular North American destinations, United’s new premium-cabin in-flight dining menus feature cage-free scrambled eggs prepared skillet style with pepper-jack cheese, sautéed pepper mix, sliced New Mexico sausage, potato gratin and fire-roasted pepper sauce; lobster macaroni and cheese with a baked crumb topping and side of broccoli rabe; and chicken and sausage jambalaya with white rice and green onions.

For short flights that offer lighter refreshments, new options include the addition of breakfast breads in the morning and a rotation of 25 new premium snacks in the afternoon and evening. On flights less than four hours, menu options include a variety of enhanced breakfast choices, such as French toast soufflé or steel-cut oatmeal, both paired with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt. New dinner selections, include tandoori chicken with basmati rice and paneer cheese.

An expanded mid-continental meal service on flights of four hours to five hours and 19 minutes, increases choices from two to three entrées with options like creole shrimp served with Carolina grits, and a dessert of sorbet with mint-leaf topping during lunch or gelato or ice cream for dinner.

New multi-course meal service on transcontinental and Hawai’i flights, features heartier entrées such as tamale-stuffed chicken wrapped in a corn husk and served with creamy corn sauce, roasted red and yellow tomatoes and yucca sticks, followed by sorbet during lunch or gelato or ice cream for dinner. Signature bake-on-board cookies in customer-chosen flavors include triple-chocolate chunk, served for dessert on short- and medium-haul flights that offer meals, or as an afternoon or evening pre-arrival treat on transcontinental flights and flights that link Hawai’i with Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver and Houston.
