Yes. United absolutely knows how to do service well, especially on international flights- though I’ve encountered some of best crew members thus far in my life - on United domestic routes. Also, These days, even in United domestic first class, passengers are offered hot towel service, and of course real silverware and real glasses and dishes during the flight. Pre-departure drink service is offered in plastic, understandably so. Great video!
23:34, Wow that's a firm landing. The passenger felt the firm landing and hopefully, the passenger is okay.
I was able to walk out 😛
FA's in Iron Shoes ... 😂 Reminds me of the good old days of Interflug et al 😈😂🍸Also ... great flight report.
Interflug days😂 Must have been quite the picture.
Thanks Dean!
@@TheLayoverAviation Someone once told me the FA's had the demeanour of the outside temperature at FL320 😂
Concorde to eternity ☹ , yes sr , that plane is iconic
So happy to see United being back to a respectable carrier. The past couple of years really hurt them. I flew United nearly all the time. Great flight United, and great video, dude!
Thanks a lot! United was indeed great, and what made it better was the nice team on board.
United still has some catching up to do on Delta, in my opinion, but nevertheless a great experience!
Hi
Hij@@TheLayoverAviation
I've heard the 787 can alter its flap profile slightly during flight to optimise the wing for different speeds/altitudes. In that case the spoilers would also have to realign themselves slightly to maintain the wing's shape. The 787-9 & 10 also have boundary layer control on the fin (not currently active that I know of) and tailplane. Air is let into a duct and allowed to blow across the surface which improves the aerodynamics.
The A380 spoilers also reposition themselves so they maintain a constant surface with the lowered flaps.
Thanks very much for the additional info!
I’ll pay very close attention on my next B787 flight.
Regarding the A380 yes, I even think I’ve got a video somewhere showing that.
Thanks for watching!
Hi and thank you. I agree about the PA pre recorded message. Thank you for sharing.
I left 80% of them out😅.
Thanks for watching Miguel!
your videos!........how informative and precise...im honestly in live with them! oh and the 787 engine startup noise ...( a pleasure to the ears).....awaiting for more videos !all the best!
Thanks Jonathan!
I do my best to keep it precise and interesting 😁.
The B787 startup is nice, but I prefer the GE-90’s!
More video’s coming soon, just hope the new Covid variant doesn’t ruin my travel plans..
Thanks for watching!
lovely, well-put together review - love the humor too!
Thanks! The turbulence and sun glare were not really cooperating, but glad you enjoyed.
See you around!
Again a great report and film footage. You take things from a different angle and to the next level. As an ex pilot you give me the full overall picture and bringing back lots of memories! Very professional, well done!!
I highly appreciate your words, they mean a lot to me!
Very happy you enjoy. Thanks for binge watching all the video’s!
Great video and flight! Thank you for
Sharing
Thank you for warching James!
Very nice video! The 787-10 is a wonderful airplane, and United are always a pleasure to fly with, especially on transatlantic routes. I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel!
It was great flying with them, am looking forward to more.
Thanks for the sub and see you around!
Actually really great content!! The quality and humour perfectly combines in your videos! Keep it up!
Thank you very much, I very much appreciate the comment! Will continue to work hard 💪🏼
Thanks I found everything I needed to know thanks 🙏🏻
Happy you did Jimmy!
Great report
Thats a solid trade! Great video, I'm starting to get addicted to your channel.
Thanks a lot! Quite a compliment coming from someone with great videos like you 😃
Thank you for a very informative video. I especially appreciate your comments on the technical details. I am flying in a few weeks internationally & it will be the first time I've gone with United so it was really helpful to see your experience. I have now subscribed to your channel. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia
Thanks for watching and subscribing Jenny, glad you enjoyed the comments. I always wanted to know these things myself so I thought to share it with everyone else.
Greetings back from Dubai, I hope to visit your city soon!
You all are so perfect at this totally love the trips ,
Happy to hear, more coming!
Great trip report!
Great video, keep up the good work. I love flying out CDG Airport.
Thank you very much Lewis!
CDG is very nice to travel from, I have a few more video’s to edit with arrival/departure from Paris CDG.
Take care!
Very detailed review, great job! I'm not a huge fan of "Monique" either (haha) but it certainly helps for those who want a clear announcement in their language. I read a lot about people complaining about US carriers because of reduced service standards so it is truly amazing to see such a great review about UA. I would've also been one happy customer!
Thanks buddy!
People, including myself, complain about US carriers because of past experience I guess. I have had very funky experiences but it’s amazing to see how Delta and United have changed vs 10 years ago. Have to try American next.
And I don’t mind a second language Monique, English though could have a more human touch I guess..
It’s like listening to a GPS!
Thanks for watching!
Great job with the captions mate 👍🏼
Thanks Alan!!!
I really love your trip reports they are so informative without lots of unnecessary conversations - great work 😊
Thanks Andy! Flying is about the aircraft and ambiance noises, not my Dutch accent 😄
Excellent video! I remember I got to fly on a UA 787-9 from ORD to IAH
Thanks for the comment!
Nice to get a big plane like this on a short flight, I’m sure you enjoyed!
@TheLayoverAviation Haha you’re welcome!
idk why but i find the hum of the engines soothing.
I fully agree Kevin!
Great video. I love your technical notes. I have flown several hundred thousand miles with United . I am still amazed at the miracle of flight and I feel the crews do a fantastic job in a small galley serving hundreds of passengers--people always pan airline food but good grief this is not the Savoy lol.
Very much so true Alba. Myself I’m quite fascinated too. Specially whenever I fly the A380.
The other day I took off from Washington to Dubai, to be published soon, and I couldn’t even hear the engines.
There were 3 full meal services on the aircraft for hundreds of people. How does one even manage 100’s of planes a day? How does it lift off? I don’t get it..
You definitely know your stuff 👏 👏 👏. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks a lot Aura, happy to have you around!
I LOVE aviation and commercial planes in particular. I've never flew on the 787 yet. I can't wait to experience it one day! I fly domestic in America. I think that most of the times; the airlines reserve the wide-body craft for international flights? I say this because it always seems I'm assigned a 737 or an A320. I love them both. But I wanna fly on a wide-body! Even if it's an older 767. I don't care!!
I love the video. Thanks for the post.
Peace.
Great
Amazing video as always! I also love bumpy approaches and hard landings😅
Thanks Tariq!
I love them too, it’s just a little inconvenient when filming..
True that! When I was flying from Dublin to dubai I was making a tripreport and the rough approach didn't help at all😂
Bonjour! awesome video thank so much.Merci
Merci a toi d’avoir regardé!
Hello mate
Beautiful view you trip
Take care god,bless you
See ya
Thanks Michel!
18:12 : that was my place when I came to US in 2019, and I can confirm what you say. It's the perfect one!
I should go some time then!
Dude really nice video, I fly the a320 and really admire the 787. Like the subtitles and how you kept the engine sounds in. Too much music over videos like this these days. Keep it up!
I can’t stand the music or constant voice overs..
I like to show what I observe myself. And I’m glad to have found a crow that is like me.
Thanks for watching! I wish you many fun flights!
Have had icecream in the past in few airlines. Was rock hard. Urs looks so creamy and soft!!!
You just need some patience and time😅
The only way of keeping them frozen is with dry ice, that’s why it’s rock hard.
Nice seeing you around again Dr.!
@@TheLayoverAviation My pleasure mate
Your Channel is so underrated
Thanks Marc, just started so let’s see!
Excellente video!
Gracias Len!
Thank you for this CZcams.
Thank you for watching Lawrence!
@@TheLayoverAviation it’s my pleasure.
One of some very few good review about UA. I've flown with UA only one time, in 2020, and that's a very bad experience. I must say that I'm very impressed with the IFE and cabin interior, but the food and crew on my flight were poor. I might consider to try them one more time after watching this video.
The reason to unplug your devices from the in seat power supply system during take-off and landing are due to the most risky flight phases. There is a bigger chance when using the in seat power supply for damage, overheating or smoke development. So airlines just don’t want to take that risk during high workload phases as take-off and landing. These are the most crucial parts of a flight. Kind regards from a Dutch cabin crew member, who is flying on aircrafts with in seat power supply systems as well :)
Btw, lovely footage!
Thanks for sharing this info!
I think the risk each airline assesses as many don’t have removing it as a SOP. Some topics are standard, such as closing tables, seats upright, etc, but cables and opening/shutting blinds depends on the airline.
Bedankt and have a nice one! Hope to fly with you soon!
It's awesome you got to fly the DreamLiner, it's a shame you had to go to New Jersey to do it. Hopefully you didn't have to stay long. I agree with you about EWR, it's not a great airport to travel through. Since covid, United has upped their game. I also had a great experience with them during 2021.
Haha, yeah Shame! I’m not a fan of EWR really.. But it was worth the ride!
I’m very glad they upped the game, can’t wait to see what’s coming next for United post-covid!
Thanks for watching!
The food on this flight looked wonderful! Did they have snacks in the galley for mid flight munching? The food would be better I think leaving from CDG.
Great video. I am looking forward to my 17H flight from DEL to ORD. That is going to be just one of the flights in my journey from PNQ to CVG - more than 24H. I was most worried about the 17H flight but looks like i will be able to survive.
17H sounds like heaven! Try to sleep as much as you can and then binge watch some movies. United’s entertainment is never ending so that’s a bonus.
Have a nice one!
Congratulations for this video, I like very much, because you explained a lot of things both The airplane than of places. I start to follow The channel. Abraços de um inscrito do Brasil.
Muito obrigado Bruno! I am glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for joining the channel and a hug to you too from Dubai!
Very nice, high five! I'll be flying the friendly skies from ORD - ZRH in June and I hope the service is of this level!
You know, if you go there happy and are just cheerful to the crew you’ll get the same or more in return. Experiences are whatever you make out of them! Have a lovely trip to Zurich!
For the same Money you could fly Swiss Air, a million times better
I absolutely love Swiss, but can’t fly with them all the time!
Have to mix and match airlines and planes 😄
I really like your reviews. They are informative and not at all nasty and entitled like so many of the genx and millenial (present company excepted)
vloggers out there now. Well thouoght out and much appreciated from a retired airline employee that used to work weight and balance with a pencil and a manual. :) Boy were the whales and DC10's
fun! And yeah making an arrival or departure PA is hardly a pain. Not a fan of the canned PA's either.
Jeffrey, just woke up to your awesome comment😁.
Yeah, no need to be nasty to generate views. It unfortunatly does make a more popular video.
I’ll do the opposite. Those nasty comments they make or mistakes they show can have consequences to companies or staff & their families.
Aviation is beautiful and I just want to show the nice of it, even in the not-so-popular airlines. It’s really whatever attitude you have. I’m always enthusiastic and respectful to crew so I get the same back.
Regarding your job, how interesting! I’m sure you have a lot of anecdotes.
I’ve never seen the w&b being done with pen and paper by a loadmaster, I still managed to see some pilots re-calculating the CG with pen and paper.
I guess the DC-10 was tail heavy and the B747 nose heavy?
The DC-10 and MD-11 were my favourite planes as a kid😁
Canned PA’s, very perfectly named! Will call then that way from now onwards!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting. I have an international trip coming up in a few weeks. I'll also be flying United on a 787-10 and I was curious if the planes still had TV's on the seat backs! It's been awhile since I've flown internationally.
nono, thank you for watching!
I think that having TV’s is now an industry standard almost everywhere on long haul flights.
It’s an awesome plane, United did a good job. I trust you’ll have an excellent time on board!
21:40 in case of evacuation, wires & cables tangled & blocking the seats etc.😮😮
Yes, that seems to be the logic behind, but not all airlines follow the same rule.. It’s specific to a few of them. Anyway, keeps aviation interesting!
I am no 787 engineer but i believe they do not sit flush before start up is because of the lack of hydraulic pressure in the system, once they get pressure they become flush.
The US carriers don't have the best reputation, but UA seems to have a competitive long-haul product in all classes. The seat looks pretty typical for long haul economy, the IFE is top notch, and it seemed like you got two full meals, plus snacks and drinks. The food quality also looked good for economy. Overall, much better than their domestic product, which I've flown many times. Note that they are improving that as well. The next time I go to Europe, I'll definitely fly with United.
I like how you showed the various quirks of the 787. It was interesting to see how the flaperon works during different phases of the flight, including to keep the plane steady during turbulence. I didn't know it could do that, but I guess it works a lot like stabilizers on a ship.
As for the foggy window, apparently that's a problem with the 787s, if the windows are set to their darkest setting for long periods of time. I wonder if it would have gotten better after takeoff. I always pick the window seat for the views, so being able to see out is very important to me. I like how with the 787, it's possible to partially dim the window so one can still see out, but not disturb seatmates who might be trying to sleep. I could see how it would be annoying if the crew locked out the windows on the darkest setting. They're not supposed to do that on United, but from what I've heard, sometimes it still happens. I'm fine with dimming all the windows after meal service, but not locking them, so those who want to undim can do so.
Lastly, from my experience, US carriers only make you unplug your devices for takeoff and landing if you're in an exit row. This is so in the unlikely event of an evacuation, no one is tripping over cords. In all other rows, you can keep them plugged in from gate to gate. It might be different with foreign carriers though.
5:18 I remember that UNITED safety demonstration video. They came up with a great concept showing the airplane safety features from different parts of the world, all to the music by great American composer George Gershwin in the background
However iI was surprised to see the final scene of the safety video set in China
United is a US carrier. Their hubs are in NewYork, Washington, Chicago and SanFrancisco
It would make more sense to finish the safety video from one of these cities instead since all of these cities have iconic landmarks which could’ve been shown in the video
Just saying...
to be even more specific, Arthur Kill devides NJ from Staten Island aka Garbage Island...nice vid btw
😂
Great video, you do a great job with them. I would have done the same and switched seats. I flew business class from TPA via ATL to Venice, and same on way back. If I could know if coach is reasonably not too full, I wouldn't need to fly business. I just don't like being crowded on a full flight. Tampa airpirt has added non stop to Frankfurt on Eurowings. What do you know about that airline? Are they any good? I think it is a subsidiary of Lufthansa. Once again, thanks for the videos
I agree. Economy is fine when it’s empty, unless someone pays you the ticket😄. I also don’t like crowds, specially not the ones on certain famous routes (let’s say rough Europeans to certain destinations).
I’ve flown Eurowings from Punta Cana to Cologne some years ago, Discover is a refreshed brand. I guess the concept is the same: nothing free unless you pay. Long haul low cost. It was allright, I knew what I paid for so no surprises. Have to fly that one again!
Thanks for watching!
7:36 😂 bless
hear hear 🥂
Love it another trip report by you - I am so glad the United did not lock the window blinds I am really glad .Some cabin crews airlines darken the cabin and expect you to sleep on a daytime flight while they take a nap .One of my main problems with Boeing 787 passenger are electronic window design shades all control with the cabin crew .
I know right? I came fresh from a night sleep and would feel annoyed to be put back to bed. But this time it was not the case!
I have another video of a United B767-400 but the cabin was pitch black dark for almost 7 hours so I barely have any footage, won’t be able to publish anything.
Too bad those electric shades are coming to Airbus too..
See you around Saud!
What an amazing video. Thank you! ☺️
I don't know the answers to your questions but I hope somebody knows and you will get your answers.
Thanks Eva!
once again a great video and yeah i can't stand with that recorded voice, all american carriers uses that or is only United? at this side of the pond i noticed Turkish uses hat too as i noticed on some videos.
It’s mostly United in my experience.
I flew with United 3 days ago and boy, never heard so many announcements in my entire life. And in 3 languages! And automatic mixed with voice🤪
Turkish uses it a lot too, right, but I guess it’s easier for others to understand. The Turkish accent is quite strong (no insults intended)
Side note, I actually flew the Air Transat A310 being from Montreal. I won't lie it wasn't the best flight of my life, but it was definitely cool!
It’s just the aircraft I’m interested in, now it’s gone.. Don’t think there are many other A310 operators left..
@@TheLayoverAviation I meant the flight aboard the aircraft wasn't great. Service was fine. A310 isn't the most comfortable. Hope this clarifies.
Charging devices allowed or not depend on company safety procedures. If not allowed to use USB charging devices is to avoid blockage or obstruction of the passenger evacuation during an emergency. aisle and exit area must be clear during takeoff and landing, tray tables , cables should be collected… prior to prepare for quick evaluation. Thanks nice video 👍.
Hey imni, thanks for your comment.
I of course suspect it’s due to safety, I just don’t understand why it only applies to some airlines and not others.
Last month I was woken up from my sleep as we were landing and my phone was charging. Countless other airlines don’t care. Wish there were more consistent rules, just like with seat belts, tables, exit areas etc
Of all US intl airline's, UA beats the other's by a wide margin food wise. Brilliant review
I also think that Delta has a solid selection.
I would tend to agree with you, but I fly out of a United hub. Of course delta is great, but there’s just something about United , overall- from the planes, all the improvements they’ve made, the FF program, all of it comes together to make what I think is the “best”. American isn’t in the running. Of course we all know Delta is quite solid in general.
Yes I Would
Ok just don’t sit next to me, I want all 3 for myself😂
I also notice that sometimes when taxiing from runway to gate, when the flaps go from full to up, the flaps pause halfway or before halfway, and then they go all the way up. Can any engineers explain the pause in the flaps' run from full to up?
Good observation! And you know what, I think most, if not all, Boeing aircraft do that. I think it stops around position 15-20 to allow to retract the slats too, and then continues. My guess..
I flew the exact same flight at the exact same seat lmaooooo
Had the exact good time too?😁
Great video as always! Just wanted to ask you if you have any tips for maximizing the experience as an economy passenger? How much is too much when asking flight attendants what I can have.
Hey Lorenzo, don’t know what to say really.. Since a kid I was always asking questions and being enthousiastic. Today I think I quite easily connect with people so it’s no problem for me to have a laugh with someone and then explain what I do and if they could assist.
Am sure everyone is glad to showcause their jobs if someone shows interest!
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks!
Lorenzo, i think if you wanted extra food or more of something, they’d give it to you, as long as they had it to give!
Nice video !! I’m going to Paris soon with United what was the travel restrictions going and coming back im fully vaccinated I don’t got the booster what’s it looking like for me? Thank you in advance !!
Thanks!
The restrictions keep changing. I always check traveldoc.aero, it’s a handy tool that assists. Have a look. Safe travels!
Just as a side note, that ATN flight was traveling to LA on its way to Tahiti and not YVR.
Hey Clint, besides on Flightradar24, you can confirm at 0:53 that it is going to Vancouver and Papeete.
The LAX stop was discontinued at the time.
Hi, great video. Just a small error, at 1min14sec I think you meant to say "fares from Doha are not that great at the moment" instead of Dubai? (Qatar is based at Doha and Emirates at Dubai).......so just a small mistake. Again, great video
Hey Yameen! It was meant to say Dubai as that’s where I live. Wherever I check to fly from Dubai with Qatar, the fares are better elsewhere at the moment.
Thanks for watching!
@@TheLayoverAviation ohhhhh I see haha, ok thanks for clarifying! Love the video! Keep well and stay safe. Regards
Great video! But at 22:00, spell check! It's Parallel. ;-)~~
Hey Cassie, thanks!
You’ll find many typo’s.. Not a native English speaker 🥲
Thanks for watching!
Why don’t you fly to Mauritius on Air Mauritius’ a350,then continue onto Dubai from Emirates a380?
I’ve been to Mauritius quite often but never yet flown Air Mauritius. The issue is that unless it’s to South Africa or Mumbai they only far fly. I’ll try!
Can you visually see the difference between flaps 17 and 18 ?
Hey Kayci! Nice question, I have no idea!
I don’t know the B787 very well and I would have to specifically ask a pilot to test it for me one day.
I don’t think you might see the difference, but likely it’s possible to feel when controlling the aircraft.
Will try to find out!
I think I know why some airlines ask you to unplug your devices for takeoff & landing - so that they won’t block the entryway into the row in case of an evacuation
Hey Adam, yes, that makes some sense. But then you’re allowed to keep your headsets plugged, those have cables too.. Or you’re allowed to keep blankets and such. Those can cause more harm then cables. That’s why I was wondering🤷🏻♂️
I feel most people, like myself, subconsciously pay less attention to those pre-recorded announcements because of how impersonal they are. Unless I make that conscious decision to listen out for information, my ears just shut them out.
I agree!
Maybe I should do those announcements here instead of the texts😛
Bro a doubt, are those called spoileron or flaperon? I thought it was called as flaperon
Hey, it depends what you’re referring to, but it’s perfectly possible I made a typing mistake. The editing is so boring😣
If you’re referring to the one between the flaps it’s flaperon indeed.
@@TheLayoverAviation Yeah exactly i was referring to one between the flaps. I was wrong in framing my question 😂
what is your work that you can fly this much #jealous :')
Ser yourself the goal of one day flying all the time and you’ll get what you want!
Is there any difference between economy and economy plus?
Not in service, just the extra legroom. At the beginning of the video I show you my original seat with 35” of legroom, and later I moved to the regular economy have a better view.
@@TheLayoverAviation ..And what is the price difference? By economy, as the date gets closer to departure, grab a row of three seats, more room for sure than Polaris and food is about the same
Hey Sandy!
I don’t know the price difference on that day as I did not get to compare it. But I remember paying once around $150 at the gate for extra legroom between Amsterdam and Chicago. Perhaps it still is in that range.
Did the pilot request the flaps to go to position 5?
They usually do prior to taxiing.
Awesome video, very detailed. 👏 btw, did u get free messaging via WhatsApp?
I can’t remember about the cost of messaging, it was long ago!
Thanks for writing Devon!
Please tell me your outro song
It’s written in the description with the link!
Unless you are a mosquito or an Italian Mafioso, why would you want to fly to (UGH!) Newark?
When there's Idlewild/Kennedy??
In my opinion they’re all terrible 😅
You did not shake the camera no problem.
Thanks Faze!
Bumpy ride 😎
They have bloody mary in a can? Do they have Prince Albert in a can too?
Virgin Mary.. No vodka in it, but I think you can request for it.
Wow United only has a320 and 19 airbus plane
They got hundreds of planes and of various types, also B737’s
"Peruse" means to study something in great depth. Is that what you're trying to say?
Yes🤣.
Flew once in First Class once and the Flight Attendant asked me if I had “perused” the menu and was ready to place an order. It just stuck since then!
Thanks for watching!
I would not have traded a Plus seat for regular Economy. No.
Not even if you had a seat neighbor in Plus but none at all in regular economy?🤨
Supereportagehenri
Thanks Henri!
Hi
Hey there!
Those are their "new colours" ? Where. Still looks untra Continental to me. If any airline in the world that needs a new livery It's UA and DL.
OOOPS. And especially WESTJET. Ickkk
It does look like continental indeed, I just mean the blueish look on the tail and such..
to much comment..
Yes, I’m a talking machine.
