United Airlines announced new meals in domestic first-class cabins as well as new technology that will allow travelers flying in coach to pre-order snacks before their flights.

The new menus are available to passengers in domestic first-class cabins, business-class cabins on transborder flights to and from Canada, and in the Premium Plus premium-economy cabin on domestic flights.

The selections include scrambled eggs with plant-based chorizo and grilled chicken breast with orzo and lemon basil pesto.

United is also introducing a chocolate pie dubbed “Pie in the Sky,” in partnership with Eli’s Cheesecake.

The snack preorder option, which is currently only available on select flights from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to Daniel K. Inouye Airport in Honolulu, will be available on all flights over 1,500 miles (2,414 kilometers) by early fall, the airline said.

The new feature allows individuals traveling in coach to use either the airline’s mobile app or website to pre-order a variety of snacks, and beverages up to five days prior to departure.  Travelers in domestic first-class, transborder business –class, and premium-economy cabins will be able to use the feature to select their meals in advance as well on flights departing August 2 and later, albeit on a limited number of city pairs.
