Pre-boarding snacks – United Club

Pre-boarding snacks - United Club
Salumi, cheese, pita, veggies, nuts and dried fruit, Rose Kennedy cocktail. Complimentary
United Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

They improved the United Clubs at SFO, and they know provide a wider variety of snacks. They tend to get really busy though so sometimes it’s no longer any more relaxing than being in the terminal areas.

Afternoon snacks – Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel

Afternoon snacks - Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel
Mortadella, salami, lox, assorted cheese, olives, capers, artichoke. Complimentary in Executive Lounge
Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel, Beijing CHINA

I’m a little sad that I ate so much at the Executive Lounge instead of exploring more of the local restaurants, but it was also nice not to spend so much on food and drinks. I really need to win the lottery so I don’t have to make these lame decisions, lol! 🙂

Dumplings - Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel
Dumplings. These were actually pretty good!

Again, the Renaissance had a great variety for afternoon snacks as well. Nothing was spectacular though, and actually everything was on the dry side. I did like the fried dumplings because they were prepared to order.

Hot dog pretzel – Auntie Anne’s

Hot dog pretzel - Auntie Anne's
Pretzel dough wrapped around a Nathan’s hot dog. $3.33
Auntie Anne’s, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

This was disgusting! I actually like Auntie Anne’s normal pretzels, but wrap it around a hot dog and you get crap! The pretzel had a soggy, gross texture and was oddly bland. I thought that dipping it in one of their cheese sauce would help, but it just made it nauseating.
