Earlier this week, I shared that United Airlines will once again offer a Japanese meal choice in Polaris Business Class on flights to and from Japan, starting in April 2023. Here’s an idea of what you can expect. What Does A Japanese Meal Look Like In United Airlines Business Class? United Airlines plans to reintroduce Japanese meals onboard for the first time since the pandemic began in March 2020. In the past ..read more

My Meal of the Week feature examines an airline meal from my travels over the years. This may be a meal from earlier in the week or it may be a meal served over a decade ago. Although unsightly, I found United Airlines’ take on a green chili frittata to be satisfying on a recent flight.

It seems that every month United Airlines offers a slight variation on its cheeseburger, so for this week’s Meal of the Week let’s review the “steakhouse cheeseburger” I enjoyed earlier this week. Steakhouse Cheeseburger On United Airlines – Yea Or Nay? United Airlines promises that improvements to its onboard catering are coming, and they cannot come soon enough to Polaris Business Class. When it comes to domestic cabins, though, I find the current selections are very much hit or miss. While the chicken curry is not fit for (imaginary) dog, the burgers are usually a safe choice. Last month I ..read more

For this year’s final Meal of the Week, I count down my top 10 airline meals of 2022. To be clear, these are only the best meals I have enjoyed over the last year, not my top 10 all-time list. I traveled all over the world in 2022 and experienced so many superb airline meals that it was hard for me to narrow the list down, but I’ve done my best. My focus is only on main courses and as you’ll see, reveal my great love for lamb. I’m in the midst of a blockbuster review of my spring trip to the Middle East and many great meals were enjoyed on that flight which I have yet to write about in detail ..read more

My Meal of the Week feature examines an airline meal from my travels over the years. This may be a meal from earlier in the week or it may be a meal served over a decade ago. Burgers are the sort of crowd-pleasing comfort food that have mass appeal. Thus, it is no surprise that United Airlines has consistently kept some kind of burger on its buy-on-board menu. This month’s flavor is particularly satisfying; a pretzel burger with plenty of cheese and bacon. Perfect Airline Meal: United Airlines Pretzel Burger With Bacon While traveling last week from Newark to Denver, the choices were ..read more

My Meal of the Week feature examines an airline meal from my travels over the years. This may be a meal from earlier in the week or it may be a meal served over a decade ago. After the disappointing Japanese-style curry chicken bowl, I was not all that optimistic about the cauliflower lime rice bowl in United Airlines First Class, but it turned out much better…this is a meal I would order again.
