As American and US Airways split the difference on meal service and eliminate meals from nearly all flights under 1000 miles, United decides to go the opposite direction. Scott Mayerowitz reports that United will add back meals in domestic first class for flights of 800 miles or more. That would make United the most generous […]

File this under "things that don't really matter, but you can't help but wonder who thought of it."
American has long had a pretty straightforward way of taking first and business class meal orders. The system was abbreviated "FEBO," and stands for "Front Even Back Odd." Basically they'd start taking meal orders at the front of the cabin on even numbered flights, and at the back of the cabin on odd numbered flights.
In addition to that they've let you pre-order first and business class meals, so you can actually choose your meal in advance regardless of where you're seated.
