The meals will include an ice cream sundae for dessert.
"We're excited to partner with Trader Vic's once again to develop a memorable in-flight experience for our customers traveling to and from Hawaii," said Charlie Ahmes, United's vice president of Onboard Service. "Our customers' vacation begins once they set foot on a United flight, and being able to serve award-winning cuisine is an added complement to their overall travel experience."
