    I survived the LA to Singapore route back in 2018 too! It was an unforgettable experience and one that I’ll cherish, being that United discontinued the route. Nice video and continued travels to you!

    I wish they would do a daytime flight from SFO/LAX to Sydney, because I just can’t stand overnight flights/sleeping on planes.

    Awesome review!! I fly this flight regularly every so couple months. Upgrading the seat to premium economy is a must for me.

      Thanks, really appreciated! And if I wasn't trying to survive on that student budget I'd definitely be doing the same, the extra legroom would have made a world of difference

    In the future -- for every Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft of all airlines (including United Airlines) parked at the gate with 2 jetbridges --, the gate MUST ALWAYS use BOTH jetbridges for passenger loading and unloading to ease the passenger traffic for both boarding and deplaning processes.

    I took nonstop flight from Phoenix to Frankfurt on Condor. It’s a very long flight. I sleep on the plane. I was on the inaugural flight. The flight was so successful. Coming home from Frankfurt to Phoenix. It’s took 13 hours flight. I got all 3 empty seat. It wasn’t too much passengers. I flew on the 767-300ER. I was visiting my brother in Basel for a week. When I came back home. I was so extremely tired. I have sleep for most of the day. Because it’s a very long jet legged.

    Headed out from Toronto for the same flight today, except on the night flight. Very nervous about such a long flight. I also got a great fare one way. Ended up going to premium economy a month ago. United’s website is really easy to use if you want to change seats or upgrade. I was surprised that when I upgraded my service they refunded the original seat booking price. It was only $9.00, but still thought it was nice.

    17 inches of pitch sounds rough 😂. Also damn! Toronto to Singapore is quite the journey. Great flight review. Personally I’d be happy to deal with the uncomfortable seat (all 17 inches of it) if it meant flying on a Dreamliner. Bucket list material right there.

    • @dmairplane
      @dmairplane  3 года назад +1

      Was definitely worth it in the long run, honestly a lot less bad than I was worried it would be. Hope ya get the chance sometime!

    • @dmairplane

      It was survivable, but definitely not great - if you have the choice to upgrade to an Economy Plus seat (or go with a different airline altogether) I'd consider that first

    I did the same trip…but I connected on a flight from Newark. I did not “survive” I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. In my humble opinion, you started the video off pretty negatively. Of course it was an ordeal if that was the mindset from the very beginning!! My focus was on the vacation and how lucky I was to be able to afford one of any kind.
    These RUclips travel videos will often make it seem like only business or first class are fit for humans. This is not true. Life is what you make of it and as long as you get there safely and enjoy your destination, Economy class is just fine.
    If anyone is wondering (or even cares about this opinion) I am indeed a veteran of tons of long distance airline trips. Most of which have been in economy class (when I became an adult, paying my own way). Zero regrets and the experiences were GREAT.
    PS: After Singapore, I went to Australia which was also the trip of a lifetime…also in economy
    PPS: your tips and tricks were absolutely correct, in my experience. Never underestimate the benefits of plane yoga too!
