(they also threw in a couple hawaiian macadamia nut crackers, wonder if that's a hint for where they went for vacation or if someone gave them a box)

noticed that there was little urgency to stop and exit the runway sooner since United's gates are towards the second half if not the end of the runway
also a bin was open, no idea if someone opened it or it fell open 🛬

with an interior like this the price can be justified just a bit
but it does not make up for their baggage restrictions on basic economy with the price, which is usually why I might opt for economy award/mileage fares flying them

when it was time for my return flight on united my first impression was being pleasantly surprised at the new livery A320
I later looked up N485UA in a "United NEXT" interior refurb spreadsheet on progress, and it was refurbed
my excitement spiked because my previous experience had impressed me

after I got home I found out frontier loaded SFO-SNA/ONT flights in march
in that they will no longer end on jan 19
they were definitely not loaded when i last checked 2-3+ days ago
so I could feasibly experience flying to SNA for chumpchange (but probably not in row 4 without paying extra) 🛬

when i have the freedom to select seats in row 4 and bring a bag as part of a $17 all-in fare you bet your behind i will hear that CFM LEAP-1A's takeoff concerto 🛫
(also yes I need to catch up on frontier from SFO to SNA so you get this instead of united)

a perceived "premium" and "technologically forward" airline like united presenting online check-in and digital boarding passes for basic economy customers as this "new perk" is a massive force of cognitive dissonance that my now-boggled mind was NOT ready for
