Hey, United Airlines! Need my help designing your gluten-free menu?

An open invitation to United Airlines. Call me! 1.415.595.5775

Dear United Airlines:

My husband Andy (a recent 1K member) and I (formerly Premier Exec, currently trying to adjust to life as a non-status flier) were recently on an international flight returning home.

I am sensitive to gluten, so I had naturally requested a gluten-free menu. All was well… until breakfast. So here’s what went down:

I’m starving.
My tray arrives.
I look at the tray. I look at Andy. I look back at the tray.
I say, “They must be bringing the rest of my breakfast separately.”
I wait. I wait some more. Tired of waiting, I ask a flight attendant.
We’re told, “This is your breakfast.”
I snort out loud, I’m laughing so hard.
