  • Join me for an exciting flight with United Airlines as we depart from Chicago O'Hare International Airport on their seasonal flight UA1634 to Fairbanks, Alaska. This video offers a front-row seat to my upgraded experience in Business Class aboard the Boeing 737 MAX 8, thanks to my United Silver status. From the iconic "Sky's the Limit" tunnel at Terminal 1 to the advanced features of my seat, including a personal IFE screen, ample legroom, and a comprehensive look at the meal service, this flight showcases why United could be your top choice for traveling to Alaska. Watch as we explore the amenities, inflight service, and overall comfort on this long-haul domestic flight, and find out why United stands out in the competitive field of air travel.

    Kind of amazes me that WN carries more passengers than UA. I fly on both the UA MAX 8/9 nonstop between CLE & LAX on a fairly regular basis in First & have no issues flying on them. I retired from the airline industry 20 years ago that I began in the 1970s. First class (I know it's referred to a lot as Business today) is nothing like the service provided 50/60 years ago. Of course, fares have come down a lot over the past decades but food was served throughout the flight upfront, according to the meal course. Avgeeks would have a field day back them; Caesar salads prepared seat side, prime rib carved, etc., all on fine China. I do like that UA allows you to choose from 6 meal selections a couple of days in advance of your flight. Awww, to fly a 707 or DC-8S again!

    United is a quality airline. One of the best trips I've flown with them was NRT-ORD on a 747-400 (it was a few years back - they don't fly the 747 anymore). Great airline, great aircraft and great crew!😎😀

    O’Hare looked nice. That armrest was filthy though. Pilot didn’t waste any time on the runway!!

    Excellent report. The meal was well presented and inviting. The salad seemed very fresh. Good on United. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

    I love, love United Airlines, I've had such great experiences especially when going and coming back from Tokyo last year, what a service, what a great flight experience and even the meals were 3000% better than I ever imagined. Kudos to this video.

    I have no problem with the max 8. I have flown on the 8 and 9:00 several times with both Southwest Airlines and united. I feel that it is still safer than driving and Airlines can't make a living if their planes are crashing so I feel safe flying on them with the airlines that have them

    I would have no hesitation flying on any of the 737 Max series aircraft. I've flown on several already and had no reason to feel unsafe.
    Let's face it over the years there have been many aircraft that initially got off to a rocky start from a safety point of view and they ended up being perfectly fine and very much loved.

    I have flown a Max 8 twice with Southwest. Quiet and Comfortable and I have no qualms about flying it in the future. Anyway, probably the safest plane in the sky just now with all the scrutiny it has received of late.

    My experience flying UA over the years has been that the entire flight from check in to arrival has been either all great or all bad, the food service being the deciding part of the trip. The meal you got was an Economy class meal served as Economy class, that was not First Class service. It was nice but not worth the cost! But in all fairness, no US carrier measures up to offering FC service. If I had a choice of carriers to fly on, UA would be my last choice but since AA and DL would also rank as last, UA would still be last of the 3. You mentioned you were flying DL A220 on to Seattle. Are you familiar with the A220? It isn't the same as the 737 Max 8 as it is much smaller. I hope you had a good trip on the A220. Thanks for sharing your trip and as long as you were happy with UA, that is the main thing!

    I have to fly a MAX PHX to JFK in a few weeks. As a nervous flyer thanks for the reminder that they still are safer than driving!

    I flew on 737 max 8 last month going from Toronto to Vancouver and I feel like there is no problem flying on it when pilots retrained on the MAX from NG

    So you had to fly from Chicago to Fairbanks to get to Seattle, why not Chicago nonstop to Seattle?

    Terminal 1 is so much better than terminal 3.

  • @davidhamilton1881
    @davidhamilton1881 Před 12 dny

    Nice report....thank you. But why the circuitous from PHX to ORD to FAI? Wasn't there a flight through SFO or DEN?

      Currently United only operates to Fairbanks via Chicago though they do have Denver flights starting soon

    You didn’t get offered a flat bed at “ First class “ but it looks like business class.

    • @aviationlhg
      @aviationlhg Před 11 dny

      Americans don't know the difference between First Class and Business Class. It has all features like a Business Class.
