United Airlines passengers with a sweet tooth used to be out of luck if stuck on an evening flight: the airline only served its stroopwafel sandwich cookies in the morning. Now, passengers will get three snack options on all domestic flights, the airline said Monday.
The stroopwafel — a Dutch caramel-filled cookie United says has become a customer favorite — and pretzels will be available on all domestic flights. Passengers will also have a third option that will change periodically. Currently, United is offering a maple-flavored wafer.
Before Monday’s change, Chicago-based United served pretzels on flights that departed after 9:45 a.m. and a different snack — most recently, stroopwafels — on earlier flights.
American Airlines gives passengers a choice between pretzels and Belgian Biscoff cookies. Southwest Airlines, which used to offer peanuts but dropped them due to allergy concerns, provides pretzels.
