A small added touch to a relatively short first class flight from Chicago to Denver made a big difference on United Airlines.
I’m on a more intense diet this year, but I admit I nibbled at this then fully consumed it…it’s the sort of decadent treat I very rarely enjoy these days and in that sense, it hit the spot much more than eggs or fruit or yogurt would have.
Of course I cannot fully applaud United here. Up until 2024, this was a meal route (United cut meal service in first class on flights between 800-900 miles). American Airlines still serves a meal on its ORD-DEN route, even though the flight is only 888 miles (though there is some debate as to whether that 888 is to the old Denver Stapleton Airport rather than to its present location).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
