- Hi guys, this flight review video is about my recent flight from Frankfurt to Newark on United Airlines , this was a day flight which departed at 11:20 (FRA time) and arrived at 13:50 (EWR time).
This was my first long haul flight on United and I was very impressed, not only was I impressed by the brand new Boeing 787-10 and it's wonderful cabin but I was also impressed by the excellent crew working on this flight.
The food was 'good' for the 'United standard', although it certainly wasn't as good as let's say : Turkish Airlines.
The plane, the flight attendants and the food, I would rate it a solid 9.
Flying United's 787's is a great way to cross the pond!

United has become my favorite airline! Best international route network, fantastic ground facilities and now their inflight has seriously improved to become tops in the U.S.. The 787 is also a really nice plane (love the windows). I'll be doing Polaris (first time) Chicago to London in October! Can't wait.
You seriously need to get around a bit more. In the US it might be considered a good airline, but by global standards even their business class is rated economy. They are one of only a few airlines who don't even offer complimentary liquor as a standard economy offering. You literally have to pay to check in bags. I mean c'mon. That's the same as a no frills airline.
Awesome video! I'll be flying with United just 4 weeks from now. FRA-ORD, also on the Boeing 787-10, in Economy class. It's gonna be my first ever long-haul flight, and this video made me look forward to the flight even more! I'm so excited!
United is very underrated it’s one of my favorites! Good service, descent food, leg room and not much turbulence!
Nice flight with Uniteds Boeing 787-10 :)
Thank you for the review!
I'll be flying this route next week! Same equipment too. Very helpful vid
You will enjoy it!
I am proud of United! What a world class airline it is.
you sure it's world class? Have you seen what Signapore Airlines, JAL, ANA, Emirates, Qatar etc are capable of in economy? Unless you classify the U.S. as "the world".
@@solotrippin09 I've flown with Singapore Airlines before in economy, so I can compare.
United has improved greatly in recent years, particularly in their long-haul products. I like it.
In addition, it has a fantastic international route network, if you are based in the United States.
Well done on the video! I will be flying on the 787-(idk yet) and will be in economy, this really helped me and actually gave me a different perspective of the economy cabin so good job!
Thank you so much, I’m glad to hear that :)
Ive flown on one of these beauties from LAX-EWR. It is such a quiet plane And i love the cabin design.
Brilliant trip report. You had a perfect wing view. I really like the IFE on UA's 787, it's wide and modern.
Thank you so much 😊
I like the Wing View ❤️
Great video, thanks!
Enjoyed the video! I’m getting closer to my long haul trip.
Thanks!
I want to fly on one of these new 787-10’s badly. Looks like a beautiful aircraft. Doesn’t look like that old of a crew despite the longer distance.
They are beautiful indeed!
Thanks for showing us such great video with clear footages. Was your flight a full flight? I initially might be having my first trip on UA from SFO-SIN but I have to cancelled due to the pandemic. I hope I can try and fly on UA soon.
I just flew a 787 for first time from Denver to San Francisco. The plane arrived from Frankfurt 2.5 hours before my flight. I loved the ride, the windows, everything about this plane is a step above other aircraft.
NOTHING can ever top the legendary DC8 Super Sixty planes!!!
Just flew on one of these United 787 from DC to LA I recognize that squealing/ringing sound while taxiing hahaha. cool plane very smooth and lots of room for us tall folks.
Superbe vidéo!
La qualité de l’image, du montage, des prises de vues sont parfaits.
Le fait d’avoir accédé à l’avion par le tarmac offre des vues superbes et inédites du 787-10...
Je fais un paris-nyc sur cet appareil en novembre prochain en classe économique également.
Votre vidéo montre parfaitement les prestations de vol de UA.
Bravo pour cette vidéo👍
Thank you so much Clément!
I usually always fly Business class when i travel from NY to Europe but i waited until the last min and all the Bc seat were sold i’ll be flying Economy with United looks decent. Wish me luck.
Just booked a round trip on this bird and route for Oktoberfest. Nice video!
It's a great plane, enjoy your trip!
A very good economy flight. The seat pitch looked like more than the standard 31 inches, the food looked good (and I would not have carped about plastic cutlery, which is common in economy), you had outlets for everything and the IFE was quite complete. Smiling FAs were the frosting on the cake!
This was my first long haul flight on United and it exceeded my expectations, a good cabin crew makes a big difference!
This video made me really excited for my trip. I am taking the exact same flight in 2 weeks. Going to NYC to check out the new TWA Hotel at JFK. Of course when you have to get to JFK, suddenly EWR flights are cheaper, so I chose United just to try the 787-10. Seems like it's gonna be a good flight. Nice video 👍🏻
Glad to hear you like it! And i'm sure it will be a great flight!
I flew the Singapore airlines a380 from jfk -Frankfurt - Singapore and it was very nice
Flying the same route but from London tomorrow. Excited
I hope you like it 😄
really great video!
Thank you so much!
The food looked exactly like the microwaveable frozen ones you get from the grocery. lol at least the ice cream made up for it. Nice to see a review with the new B787-10!
Thanks!
Awesome
I must be flying too much. I recognized two of the FAs
The B787 is my second favorite Boeing plane, right behind the B747.
TNX!
They'd have to pay me to go to Newark, not the other way around. But the dreamliner looks cool!
Just waiting to get the auto dimming windows in our cars.
Seems 787 are cool planes
I might get a chance to fly this to dublin next year. I fly to ireland every year with family, but the airport we usually go to (Shannon) is too expensive. I already flew american's 787-9 from DFW to Dublin and it was horrible. Hopefully united will be better.
It honestly really depends on the airline and how well they maintain their aircraft/equipment. I flew on Norwegian's 787-9 from JFK to Denmark and it was a pleasant flight. United's 787-10 are piratically brand new and they just started their 787-10 service from EWR to DUB, this past April. In the past few years, United has spent a lot of time and money, in improving their service to customers, so I think it should be a pleasant flight for you.
I am considering booking the EWR to DUB route with United, which uses the 787-10. From all the videos I see, it looks promising...
Wished you didn't fast forward the taxing at Frankfurt. But this is a good report
Good)
Hi! Great video! How did the seat recline on 40L? Any noise from the bathroom behind?
Thanks for your reply, the recline wasn't great.. And it had the same amount of recline as the other seats. The recline on the 767's is much better. And there was almost no noise from the bathroom.
I honestly expected a bad experience before going on United but I flew from Washington to London on this and it was very nice. The food was pretty bad but it was comfortable and because of the coronavirus I had a whole entire row to myself lol
Was the flight full?
@@andreipretorius92 No actually the flight for me was very empty and very comfortable because I was able to lay down lol.
I have a flight next Sunday. But the flight seems so full. Plus it’s an international flight. When booking for seats only economy plus is empty and economy has no empty rows. Guess I’ll have to sit next to someone.
@@andreipretorius92 Yeah I understand, I flew back from Korea less than a month ago using a different airline and it was packed so it honestly just depends on your luck but have a safe trip!
the attendant is handsome :-)
6:01
everyone focusing on the wing: its nice
me focusing on the emirates plane in the background: *b u t t e r*
I heard that the Trent 1000 starts up using electric motors instead of compressed air. Does the GEnx do the same?
Yes it's the same!
United is the best North American airline no doubt about it !!!
Nawww American Airlines is more fire
Holy s**t these 787-10s are taking on more and more EWR based routes fast. Guess I better hurry up to find a 767-400 flight before they retire and it would be a shame if I never experience a 767-400
Still plenty 767 routes to be found out of EWR. I found it a very comfortable ride when I flew their 767-400 out of EWR last month.
I haven-t experienced the -400,or any flavor 757 - - - supposedly the only ones that approximate the smoothness and aerodynamic stability of the legendary DC8 Super Sixties. Man, were those some planes WRI-HOA both ways in '70-'71.
I saw 2 El Al planes in this video and it was EWR.
How was the turbulence
What about the legroom in the 40th row compared to the others? We've chosen the same seats...
Legroom is the same, there are no IFE boxes so you should have sufficient legroom.
Curious, how do people with physical challenges board a plane this way? All I see are stairs.
When going trough USA immigrates do not use your phone or other electronic devices because it might get confiscated and you might be subject to additional screening.
What type of plane IS this
Why did he not say Newark when announcing they have landed?
i flew united economy to Panama! on a 737 lol
Could you also set the tv in German and the language?
Yes you can :)
👍👍👍👍🍰👏👏👏
I don't dislike economy on any North American and European airlines i have travelled on.
klm is the best airlines imo :D
It flew over my house
After travelling between United and Air Canada Economy Classes. Air Canada is definitely better.
“Flaps Full” is an Airbus terminology. It should be, “Flaps 30” in this case.
I know about Flaps 1, Flaps 2, and Flaps 3, as well as throttle settings of FLEX and TOGA on Airbus.
Thank you , great plane but why in the world do they let you walk in thru a galley ??? So taste less , I also like the old livery .
sputnic *tasteless
Can you watch free movies like on Delta with united
Yes you can :)
I guess they didn't beat you up and break your guitar.
No they did not 😜
They weren’t the rolls Royce Trent 1000 the engines were the GEnx
Jags 210 I know....
Did you want stainless steel cutlery? ...thick 💺 seats? ...it's Economy!
When you say leg room is good...how tall are you? This is really subjective.
only one meal for 7 hrs flight?
It was sufficient though, there was also a snack before top of descent.
Emirates also serves one meal for 6 h flight to Dubai from Germany
Pro tip the actual wall outlet charges your phone faster then the USB port.
It is a US plug isnt it?
Just like BA's 787-8, the lavatories look just like a port-o-potty. Is there no imagination with Boeing?
Interior designs of aircraft are specific for airlines, not the aircraft manufacture
Poop on the Dreamliner. In my opinion it’s a nightmare. I’m 6-10 and their economy legroom is worse than a 737. I can’t afford to get economy plus or the emergency aisle. Tall people should be able to have the legroom without having to pay extra for it
Those are GEnx-1B not rolls Royce
That's what I say at 2:06.
787 can be a bit turbulant...
The economy class may be better than on other third-world airlines, but you still have the lousy United customer service, third-world airport terminals, crumbling streets from/to the airports, unhappy flight attendants, damaged baggage, flight delays - and the typical low-ranking United Airlines experience.
The compulsion to write subtitles really ruins your and many other videographers fine visual coverage that doesn’t need non-stop explanations explaining the obvious.
I understand, I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Unfortunately, English is not my native language and I speak with an accent; that is why I use subtitles. I do appreciate all feedback though!
