Prepare for a delightful upgrade to your United Airlines flight experience! The airline has partnered with New York City's iconic Magnolia Bakery to offer their famous banana pudding on select United First flights exceeding 901 miles. This exciting collaboration brings a taste of New York City to the skies, allowing passengers to indulge in a sweet treat while traveling.

Magnolia Bakery's CEO and Chief Baking Officer, Bobbie Lloyd, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the significant role food plays in travel experiences. The banana pudding will be served in convenient 3-ounce cups, frozen for optimal freshness and designed to thaw during the flight. Passengers can savor the authentic flavors of real bananas in this delightful dessert.

United's Managing Director of Hospitality Programs, Aaron McMillan, echoed the excitement, emphasizing the iconic nature of Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding and the unique experience of enjoying it at 30,000 feet. He further stated that this partnership reflects United's commitment to enhancing onboard dining options by providing more variety and elevated choices.

This collaboration coincides with Magnolia Bakery's broader initiative to make their New York treat accessible everywhere. Following the opening of a new location in LaGuardia Airport's Terminal C in August, this partnership with United Airlines further expands their reach. United Airlines isn't alone in elevating in-flight dining; Delta Airlines recently partnered with Shake Shack to offer burgers to first-class passengers on select flights originating from Boston, with plans to expand to other cities.
