No Kosher Meals on United in F from HNL?
« on: June 04, 2012, 01:30:52 PM »
I've been trying to confirm KSML from HNL to ORD in F but after being on hold for literally 45 minutes was told its not offered on that route. Only when the flight originates from the US mainland. Our outbound is from LAX where it is offered. Sounds a little crazy for an 8 hour flight.

I've already tried twice, both times they confirmed with a supervisor that special meals are not available on that route. What's the policy? Is it? The UA site seems unclear:

U.S. flights

Special meals are available in premium cabins on flights with meal service between:

New York (JFK) and San Francisco (SFO) or Los Angeles (LAX)
Newark (EWR) and San Francisco (SFO) or Los Angeles (LAX)
The continental U.S. and Hawaii

Seems perfectly clear to me that both supervisors are wrong.

Not sure who you're talking to, but I had kosher meals HNL-EWR in F not too long ago and my in-laws had them HNL-IAH as well a couple months ago.

Im surprised UA doesn't offer them.

I am flying ORD-HNL-ORD on AA in F without food...although AA doesn't offer them on anything "domestic" IIRC

AA doesn't offer kosher meals either. Maybe because your flight was businessfirst service

even if there is a kosher meal, be aware that it may not be cholov yisroel (as in the cheese ravioli served LAX-JFK on United PS)

What defines a true BF?
BF Pillows, blankets, and for the gentiles full multi-course meal service with menu options.  And lounge access

The HNL flights haven't had all that for a few years now and the flights are not marketed as BF, though the seats on some routes are better than domestic F.
