United Airlines today announced that it will be rolling out three new complimentary in-flight snack items, which will be available for customers flying in its Economy cabins just in time for Spring Break travel.

With more than 12 million snacks distributed to its passengers each month, plenty of people will be enjoying these novel treats, which are exclusive only to United Airlines, very soon.

Starting March 1, Economy-class passengers can get excited about these new sweet and salty nibbles, which include gluten and allergen-free options, coming down the center aisle in the course of their flight.

This modest, but much-appreciated, upgrade is part of United's broader initiative to elevate its customers' travel experiences at every touchpoint, regardless of which cabin class they're flying in. The first debuts on March 1, while the next two will be available as of April 1.

- Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt Chocolate Crispsby Undercover Snacks

If your sweet tooth would be better satisfied with a wholesome, non-GMO, allergy-friendly treat, you'll be happy to discover Undercover Snacks. It's a woman-owned brand that produces gluten-free, nut-free, Kosher treats that are made in their own custom-engineered factory in New Jersey.

Made sustainably with Certified Rainforest Alliance Chocolate, these tasty crisps deliver a satisfying crunch, filled with protein and fiber-rich quinoa. Each crisp is covered with premium dark chocolate with a hint of sea salt, producing the perfect salty-sweet-to-crunchy quotient.

Serving size: .25-ounce serving, individually wrapped.

- Apple and Mango Fruit Barsby That's it.

If your palate prefers simple, natural ingredients without unhealthy additives, you'll appreciate this flavorful, all-natural Fruit Bar made from 100-percent real fruits with no preservatives, added sugar, concentrates or purees. The recipe for these mini-bars was custom created for United, with the only ingredients being real apple and mango, and absolutely nothing else.

Serving size: .5-gram bar, individually wrapped.

- Savory Snack Mixby Summer Harvest

If you're looking for a classic pick-me-up, you'll be glad to find that this quintessential Savory Snack Mix delivers a satisfying crunch, thanks to its signature medley of rye bagel chips, garlic bread bites and pretzel twists.

Serving size: .75-ounce serving bag.
