Is the food getting worse?
I realize these are totally first world problems but I’ve flown Polaris a lot over the years and since November, the food quality has gone off a cliff. Routes are IAD-MUC, EWR-LHR, SFO-IAD, IAD-CDG etc. The food was never good on United (its airplane food) but it was at least edible. Both my husband and I are total fat kids and will eat just about anything and neither of us has had more than a few bites of any of our meals in Polaris recently . We are now making sure we get to the airport early enough to eat in the lounge because we can’t bring ourselves to eat the food. Pictured is the chicken from a recent flight (the one Scott Kirby swore was the best in the industry) but nothing I’ve had in flight recently has been remotely edible from the short rib to the croque monsieur (un toasted bread and unmelted cheese).
Polaris is routinely more expensive than other business class products on routes I fly and IAD is my home base (plus I have the credit card) so I don’t see myself switching but the food shouldn’t be this horrible given their pricing. Anyone else? Is this a result of the new catering vendors?
