CHICAGO — United Airlines is bringing back free snacks for economy-class passengers in February.

Those snacks were cut off in 2008 by United and Continental followed suit in 2011 after the airlines merged.

Jimmy Samartzis, United’s vice-president of food services, said the ******* is “refocusing on the big and little things that we know matter to our customers.”

Economy flyers can now look forward to treats ranging from stroopwafels, a Dutch treat of two thin waffles stuck together with caramel, to an Asian-inspired mix of rice crackers, sesame sticks and wasabi peas.

The ******* said Wednesday that the snacks would return on all United and United Express flights within the U.S. and those in Latin America that don’t already have them.
