United Airlines has expanded its economy class inflight meal pre-order program to short-haul routes.
On routes within North America and to the Caribbean, the minimum eligible flight distance has been lowered from 1,190 miles to 900 miles. An additional 420 flights per day are now eligible, making the service available to up to 65,000 more passengers. Eligible routes also include hub-to-hub services such as Chicago–Houston, Denver–San Francisco, and Houston–Washington.
From five days to 24 hours before departure, passengers can select from monthly rotating sandwiches, burgers, pasta dishes, breakfast items, and more via the website or app. Current offerings include a Pork Mojo Burrito, the Chicago Patty Melt by Jeff Mauro of Mauro Provisions, a Hot Honey Chicken & Waffle Sandwich, and a Cinnamon Apple Waffle.
