United Airlines brings back kids’ meals

United Airlines is bringing back kids’ in-flight meals in time for holiday travel.
Children will enjoy both breakfast and lunch/dinner menus on select United flights where complimentary meals are served.
To request a kids’ meal, customers can choose the ‘Children’s Special Meals’ option when booking a ticket or add a request to an existing reservation using the United mobile app.
Starting next year, kids’ meals will be available for pre-order to customers traveling in eligible cabins on select United flights.
“We’re committed to providing a great onboard experience for all and offer our youngest flyers new, kid-friendly food options on select routes,” said Aaron McMillan, United’s managing director of hospitality and planning.
“We hope this helps to put parents’ minds at ease as they prepare for travel with us.”
Kids’ meals are available now on flights greater than 2,000 miles, in cabins where complimentary meal service is offered, and include kid-friendly breakfast and lunch/dinner options.
For select domestic flights (including Hawaii) and international flights departing the US, the children’s menu includes French toast with sausage, fruit and a croissant for breakfast, and chicken tenders with fruit, a dinner roll and dessert for lunch and dinner.
