For flights departing Newark for Tel Aviv, guests will enjoy an entirely new menu, created in partnership with New Jersey-based fresh food provider Fresko. Menu options will include favorites such as fresh bagels, a cheese omelet, blintzes, chicken marsala, a kale quinoa burger and traditional baked goods such as rugelach and black and white cookies. United is also testing a child’s Kosher meal on flights to Tel Aviv from EWR and SFO. If the airline’s youngest guests approve, the meal option will be rolled out on additional Tel Aviv routes. Customers traveling in Polaris and Premium Economy will also enjoy an expanded selection of mid-flight Kosher snacks including Deep River Potato Chips, Cheez-it® crackers, Drizzilicious Cinnamon Swirl Crisps, Madi K’s Almonds and M&M’s.


The new offering also includes Kosher beverage options with wine provided by Royal Wine of New Jersey. In Polaris, guests will enjoy Royal Wine’s Herzog Lineage Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc selections.

Currently, the airline is testing the addition of a new hot Kosher á la carte meal option at Newark’s Polaris Lounge. While Kosher wines are already offered, United will also serve Kosher packaged snacks upon request at the Polaris Lounge And United Clubs in Newark and LaGuardia.
