Sacher chocolate cake is a classic Austrian chocolate cake made of moist chocolate sponge, apricot jam and coated with a rich chocolate glaze. Each slice of the cake is a journey into a world of indulgence, where the splendid balance of sweetness and the harmony of flavours create an unforgettable culinary experience.

This exquisite masterpiece of pastry art was invented by Franz Sacher, supposedly in 1832 for Prince Metternich in Vienna. It is one of the most famous Viennese culinary specialities made famous at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna.

 Hotel Sacher's "Original Sacher Torte" is sold at the Vienna and Salzburg locations of the Hotel Sacher, at Cafe Sacher branches in Innsbruck and Graz, at the Sacher Shop in Bolzano, in the Duty Free area of Vienna airport, and via the Hotel Sacher's online shop.

The recipe of the Hotel Sacher's version of the cake is a closely guarded secret. Those privy to it claim that the secret to the Sacher Torte's desirability lies not in the ingredients of the cake itself, but rather those of the chocolate icing. According to widely available information, the icing consists of three special types of chocolate produced exclusively by different manufacturers for this sole purpose. The hotel obtains these products from Lübeck in Germany and Belgium.

According to Franz Sacher's son Eduard, Sachertorte was invented by Sacher when he was an apprentice under Metternich's chef Chambellier. As it is known, the Austrian State Chancellor, Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, tasked his kitchen staff with concocting an extraordinary dessert to impress his special guests. As fortune had it, the chef had fallen ill that evening, leaving the apprentice chef, the then-16-year-old Franz Sacher, to perform this culinary magic trick. Metternich’s parting words to the talented teenager: “I hope you won’t disgrace me tonight.”

Franz Sacher seized the moment and conjured up the confection of a lifetime, the chocolate cake that would go down in history as the ne plus ultra of desserts: the Original Sacher-Torte. Disgrace, in any case, was not on the menu that evening. The cake soon gained a cult following, and was deemed “presentable at court”. From then on, it was a favourite at the imperial court and soon went on to win the hearts of the world.

Let us introduce you to the United Airlines fleet. Today United Airlines ordered 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets and a record-setting 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The fleet of United Airlines becomes bigger and better than ever by adding up to 200 widebody planes – the largest order by a U.S. carrier in commercial airline history. In total, the airline now expects to take delivery of about 700 new planes by 2032, at an average of more than two per week in 2023, and more than three per week, on average, in 2024. Adding widebody planes helps United Airlines offer customers even more choices across the global network: United is the number one U.S. airline across the Atlantic and the Pacific.

 A little bit about the aircrafts Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 787 Drealiners:
 

• Boeing 737 MAX optimizes the market-leading strengths of the highly successful Next-Generation 737 to assure operators of competitive success far into the future.
• Boeing 787 Dreamliner applies breakthrough technologies to an all-new airplane design. The advanced features of the 787 increase efficiency, simplify airplane ownership and operation and significantly improve the air travel experience.

According to United Airlines, they chose Boeing over the rival plane maker Airbus because the airline is eager to grow and already has several dozen 787s as well as the pilots trained to fly them. The airline still has an order on the books to recive dozens of Airbus  A350s, a 787 competitor, in 2030.

"They're both great aeroplanes," United's chief executive, Scott Kirby, said on a call with reporters. "But we already have a large installed base of 787s. And in this world where we're trying to bring on 2500 pilots a year and grow the airline, introducing a new fleet type slows that down dramatically."

New planes have many benefits. Travelers are getting an improved customer experience, with cleaner, more streamlined and sometimes more spacious interiors.  Today under the slogan "It's time to fly" United Airlines serves 238 domestic destinations and 118 international destinations in 48 countries or regions across five continents out of Chicago–O'Hare International Airport and eight hubs.
