    I finally got to try out United’s long-haul economy on their flagship aircraft the 777-300ER. United has some of the youngest 777-300ERs in the world with an average age of 4 years. Although the flight was nothing special, I still had a comfortable and enjoyable flight. I was pleasantly surprised to see that United had brought the service back to pre-pandemic levels which shows that they have stopped using the pandemic as an excuse for cost-cutting. This could be seen on my Polaris Business flight 6 months ago when I flew to Munich, United had drastically reduced service for Business Class. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about my experience and I would not mind flying United again long-haul in economy.

    I guess "good" is the strongest adjective you can give for this flight. Everything looked quite OK, not poor, not great. If every flight is this quality, people should have few complaints.

      I was in a Delta IROP and they put me on a UA flight from SFO to Japan. It was a shock for me to see how bad United was compared to Delta. Food portion was so small and they skipped mid-flight snack and there was nothing in the galley and bottled water is the tiny ones. Crew was aloof and the 9-abreast 787 was extremely uncomfortable and unbearable even for a frequent long-haul flyer like me.. It seems like UA made some minor improvements since then of at least doing a mid-flight service and have some spare items in the galley.

    Very much enjoy United on international flights, especially the Pretzel Roll before landing. Having snacks and drinks in the galley at all times is also a nice touch. United offers a decent coach product, but their Polaris Class is fantastic!

    Great video! Sad to see United reduce its pre-landing meal to just a simple sandwich. They used to be, in my opinion, the best airline for the west coast USA - Europe route (beverage service, post-takeoff full meal plus ice cream, mid-flight snacks (sandwich and treats), pre-landing full meal, good IFE, decent legroom, comfortable seat, USB), but now it looks like United Airlines is no different than all other airlines.

    I’m debating on wether to fly United or Lufthansa on a similar route it would be a United 777 v Lufthansa 330 or Mabye a 747. Would you say Lufthansa is better even though it is more expensive?

    • @theplanefacts
      @theplanefacts  Před rokem +2

      Not at all, if you look at my review of the Lufthansa 747-8i and compare it to this one, I feel that the quality of service with United is better. Although the 747 is an amazing plane, I wouldn’t say it is worth the extra money to fly Lufthansa.
