At 8:06 I wondered if perhaps this video's coat hooks weren't gonna get some verbal recognition but we even got a coat-hook-as-a-unit-of-measurement joke at 11:34.
If you want the full-fledged coat hook shout out 14:44 is for you.
I hope my comments serve to get the algorithm to find more coat hook people for Jayden's audience. Don't talk to me if you hate coat hooks.
legend!
The coat hook joke was great!
Love those coat hooooks 😊
Great video as always. Although the vegan meal looks depressing. Glad I eat tasty animals lol.
what do you mean? The vegan meal looks fantastic.
Jayden is the most underrated youtuber ever i mean he does all his reviews in so much details from the seat to the food and even the toilet all i have to say is he needs way more subscribers and likes😊
Love his reviews
thank you! You're too kind!!
Great video, that Sundae looks good. :D
The last 3 minutes of your video makes me miss Vancouver :)
Thanks for another great video. I'm flying Polaris for the first time in two weeks (SFO-LHR) on a 777-200 so thanks for the heads up on what I can expect.
Thank you for the video! Have an amazing weekend!
Wonderful report. Great to see that the sundae is back. I hope to get one during my flight next week...but I won't hold my breath.
Hi Jayden thank you for the video hope you had a good flight. Meals looked ok and yes good portion size. Did you enjoy San Francisco.
Sweeeeet! A great break and report. Escaping from my presently very stressful life.
Thank you Jayden.
aww Stevo, hope you are doing ok! Hit me up always if anything you wanna talk about
seems like a comfortable flight for you safe travels mate!
absolutely! very memorable this one!
Thank you for sharing the details about the lounge options. Great content, new subscriber here! 😄
Thanks so much for watching!! :)
Loved this video Jayden, I really need to try out United in Business class, and return to America!
Another great video Jayden! Really informative and great views of the massive GE90!
good good good !!!!!
Nice report Jayden. Love the Qantas top. I have relatives in San Francisco. When they return to Sydney (to see family and friends) always fly United. There is a daily 777 flight (each way) from SFO to Sydney.
Nice flight I love Vancouver..beautiful place
Good too see you at the crows game
you too😂😂
Wow, great video! The take-off is superb!
thanks for watching!!
Very nice video! Hope you're enjoying Emirates
Thanks for mentioning the privacy issue which I wanted to know most. I thought there would be a door to the seat. Apparently there isn't.
Verry nice and informative video as always !
Hey Jayden! Nice video as all of your videos are. Fun fact: there is an ANA SUITE lounge near the transfer desk as well. 😅
Looks like a reall pleasant flight, Jayden! That ANA lounge looked depressing, but glad the food was good.
I suspect the deep-fried tofu from the regular menu would've been a lot tastier than your VGML.
Nice Vanc vlog at the end!
Great video, Jayden! The food selection in the lounges looked great. I'm surprised that the JAL lounge still hasn't reopened the buffet yet. The hard product on the plane looked great but the food seemed a bit sad. Sorry to hear they lost your luggage though. That must have been a pain! Hope you enjoyed your time in Vancouver.
Yep interesting how some companies are still ‘coping with’ covid. Earlier this week Singapore Airlines went from mandatory mask wearing for crew to mandatory NO mask wearing🥸🥸🥸
Sundae on the flight ?
Take my money!!!
Can I order more than 2 Sundaes, yes?
Take all of my money!!
I Love The Sundae Is Great Trip Report
👍👍👍👍👍. Wonderful Explain!!!!!! I so much like it!!!! Stay Safe!💛💛💛💛💛💛
Nice video Jayden. I love BC in the spring. And you've convinced me to try Polaris. Bed looks fab. My problem is I keep going back to ANA. Did you know there are / were 2 ANA lounges at NRT, the other one is larger, upstairs and has a lovely view of the planes (but it's over the other side). 🥰
Amazing review by you! The ANA Lounge looks really spartan. A bit taken aback by the looks of the lounge given that Japan is their homebase. In contrast, the UA Lounge looks fabulous! Thumbs up for UA. Same goes for UA's Polaris seat - amazing! 👍👍👍
Totally! That being said, they do have another lounge at the other end of the terminal, will check that out next time when I have the chance LOL, thank you :))
Fantastic and cute video as always love the music!!!
United really is the flag carrier of the US again at this point (repositioning them back to what they were in the 90s - the US’s flag carrier). The route network is the envy of their peers, globally and domestically. Hubs in every business capital in the West, a reliable operation, new aircraft, motivated employees - they have come a tremendous way since the hell of 9/11, Ch11 bankruptcy, SARs, a botched merger integration - United is back at this point and here to stay🎉🎉
Thank-you for your comment. Do you currently do a lot of air travel? The last time I did any serious travel was in 2003, when most of my life was allocated to business ventures in the US and Europe. At that time, Delta was my airline of choice. But having seen Jayden's review of his flight to Narita on Delta and this one, Delta is so woeful that I did not recognize it.
My biggest complaint about US carriers is that we no longer have an airline that can rival those in Europe (Lufthansa, et al) and Asia (ANA, et al). Unfortunately, we in the U.S. tend to favor inexpensive flights over service. That is fine, but I just wish we had a rival.
@@Guerry-3 thanks for the comment! I think United is that American equivalent - consider UA has had a superior business class to LH for 7 years now, and will for another 3 until LH’a new product gets rolled out - United’s route network is simply larger in breadth and continental reach than any foreign competitor, save Emirates. The onboard product of 2023 (150+ wide body fleet of premium heavy 4-cabin aircraft) means they are the the most consistent US airline from a product perspective. The Polaris lounges around the globe are also tier I. But for UA it’s really the network - again - it’s so strategically valuable, domestically and abroad, that they are literally too large to fail.
@@tuolumne9 Thank-you.
@@Guerry-3 thank you Sir/ma’am! I am also a big fan of Singapore airlines, their staff are fantastic (so are United’s, but in a friendly “let’s chat!” American way). The big let down, being 6’2”, is I need to fly in F cabin to fit…regrettably the business class “beds” are claustrophobic by being too short - it’s been this way with the prior product too, and I was disappointed it continued with the new biz cabins!
@@tuolumne9Ha! I'm a guy - No problems. Thank-you again for sharing your experiences with me. Years ago, I flew from Atlanta to Narita on Delta. The flight attendants looked as if they had slept in their uniforms and couldn't find the mirror and a hairbrush. From Narita to Seoul I flew on Korean Air. Both flights were in business. Korean Air was so heads above Delta that I was almost embarrassed. I was further miffed when I viewed Jayden's review for his Delta flight, and especially when I heard the flight attendant trying to speak Japanese.
Based on having viewed many of Jayden's reviews, Qantas is out, but Cathay Pacific, ANA, Japanese Airlines, Korean Air, and Asiana (I think I have them all) will be the only ones on which I fly anywhere in East Asia.
it's a nice gesture to have a chair at the shower area.. you can sit down while getting changed.
Can you please do a comparison video of the AKL-JFK route with Qantas and Air New Zealand later in the year when Qantas begins that leg?
Thanks for Video...Today Working Trip Houston, Texas US...8 Hour Stay...Stay Traveling Save !!!
Awesome experience
thanks Kevin!
Loving the new camera! Looks great 🎉
thanks!! :)
Another way kewl video with lots of goodies. Shout out to the special treatment you gave the on board coat hook. I felt the special vibe😵💫. Are you coming to Toronto from Vancouver? Would be fun to take you around. Best from Colin.
Hi Colin! Unfortunately not, I only went to as far as Calgary. Drove to Jasper and Banff. Will check out the east next time!
Nice report again. Very diverse.
Omg u missed the beer machine in the UA lounge!! World famous!!
Hi Jayden keep up the good work
😂😂Its amazing that you have your rental breakfast ... airline lounge buffet style .... 👍
Always enjoy seeing a geriatric crew on US based Airlines. Vancouver is absolutely gorgeous and reminds me alot of Melbourne when lve been there. Great flight ✈️
Hi Jayden. A decent ice cream sundae is worth breaking a diet for 😂
I got hungry just watching you eat it !
shh🤣🤣🫣
Back to strict vegan in Adelaide
Jayden, you dripped your sundae on your lap😅
Alrighty Sir Jayden! This is your favorite secret admirer, Guerry from the States. That was a great flight review, and I thank-you so much for sharing it. Although I viewed your earlier flights you posted weeks before, I am so thankful to be able to leave my comments with you for this one. In fact, I do feel somewhat ashamed at not being able to leave comments on all your videos. I know how much you depend on my opinions - JUST JOKING!!! Actually, I do enjoy reading so many of the comments left by others, and they do give me a standard for matching their excellence.
First, I must include this observation. Despite the differences in cabins, the United Airlines flight from Narita was overwhelmingly superior to your Delta Airlines flight to Narita. Nevertheless, I still rank the Asian carriers as having much nicer flights than those by the US.
I think that United did a great job on their lounge. I am guessing that it was more crowded than the ANA lounge because American customers feel more at home with services provided by American companies. Personally, I enjoy exploring foreign (to me) cultures. If I ever get the opportunity to spend time as I wait for my flight at Narita for my visit to you in Hong Kong or Adelaide, I would most likely go to the ANA lounge. You know I am kidding about the visit.
As far as your aircraft, despite its age, United has periodically spent roughly $4 million every 6 years or so to perform a “Class D” maintenance check. That check virtually rebuilds the aircraft back into a new condition. When it comes to aircraft age, it does not depend on how many years but the number of takeoffs and landings it has. I could go into all sorts of details about this, but I’ll leave it up to you if you are not already familiar with them. So if you ever have the chance to do some light reading… Moving on…
You did have the ideal seat in my opinion. I am most definitely a window seat guy. In fact, during a flight I practically paste my forehead to the window. Whether there is anything to see or not, I love the view out of the window. The one thing you did when you stuffed your pillow between the seat and window was to shut off the air conditioning air into the cabin. But if you are getting too cold on a flight, that is one way to keep things warmer.
I thought the in-service care you received from the flight attendant(s) was truly outstanding. You did not record the announcer state things in Japanese for this flight, but when I heard the flight attendant speak in Japanese on your Delta flight, she was horrible (and somewhat embarrassing to me as an American). As far as your bland vegan meals, what can I say? I am guessing that whoever catered the flight also had those needing a low salt diet in mind. In my opinion, United should have an online check-in site on which those requiring a special diet are able to make their selections. The rest of the passengers should not have to abide by “just in case” passenger requirements. As someone who cooks for himself always, using a little bit of salt in food preparation makes all the difference in the world.
Although I took a lot of notes, I’ll end with this summary. Between your United and Delta flights, surprisingly United provided a much, much nicer flight than Delta, and I am taking into account that you were in separate cabins for each. However, even with United’s superior rating, I believe that the Asian carriers (Japan Airlines, ANA, Cathay Pacific, etc.) are so much better than American carriers.
Again, thank-you so much for your review. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and I am looking forward with eager anticipation to your next one.
Thanks for the vegan meal review & shining light on the process !
thank you for watching!! :)
Great video. Glad to see more RUclips review of airline’s veg*n meal. Would be interesting to see which airlines’ veg*n meals taste the best. 🤤😋
None
Nice Review! I am guessing for your next flight review is Air Canada.
Thanks a bunch Jayden. Wow I didn’t even realise that Narita looked really nice! Sooo pretty ❤ Love how you try different routes to different countries sooo well explained. I love how you entertain us so much. My request flight is Brisbane to San Francisco which launched in October 2022. Watching you makes me feel jealous 😂😊. But anyways I loved the food I really wanted to eat it (somehow). Thanks
Thanks for watching! Narita is actually my preferred airport in Tokyo for a few reasons. Haneda definitely stands out for its proximity to Tokyo though.
@@JaydenWong oh I understand:)
Wow Jayden has some biceps
You should do a flight review to Wellington, NZ
Well I thing there is a nonstop flight from Singapore to changi to San Fran so you could have flown nonstop for your comfy and convenient though so!.
and broken wallet 🤣
Welcome to United, a member of Star Alliance
All ways the usual very 👍
thank you!!
Wondering if any of the crew noticed you were in Quantas jammies. Was there no coat hook in the ANA shower room?
United Polaris NRT/SFO, enjoy, Jayden ❤️
My sister lives in San Jose Santa Clara.. WOW SFO Airport...
Nice video man. For a video u should fly Baltik Air Malaysia inaugural flight to adelaide.
Flying the unfriendly skies 🤔 and going to SFO 🙀
I love the shower scene! ❤❤❤
great trip report Mr Wong. I was happy to see my favourite airline (Air New Zealand) at Narita! loved QF pj's on UA and plenty of coat hoooooks!
What a gorgeous walk into down town. So picturesque.
You were extra cheeky in this video... loved it Jayden. 😅 and you looked so comfy all snugged up in ure bed.
I'm always so amazed how those large machines take off... 🎉
Thanks for another first class review.
Paul (Brisbane)
Flew the same route in Polaris Aug 2021. It was Covid there wasn’t menu or hot towel. Everything came in a tray and a small packaged brownie was the dessert.
CBP ❤❤❤ 6:02
You flew from NRT to SFO but at the end you ended up in YVR (Vancouver, B.C.) which is totally a different country. *Confused*
Your pre-departure beverage cup is made of acrylic. Almost plastic
I've flown Polaris a few times between the USA and Europe and it's awesome! The Polaris lounge in Houston is also excellent. I prefere Polaris to Delta's Delta One, which I recently took to Tokyo via Detroit. It was nice because it had a privacy door but I liked Polaris's design better overall.
Totally I don’t need a door personally. If it’s well-designed it doesn’t need one
Polaris class seats are very nice, but i don't care for their single tray service. Service on my last flight was fine, but lacked finesse. Overall a hoid product.
I agree tbh, especially on a shorter overnight flight I want to maximise my sleep. thanks for watching!!
you got a big one
You keep making special mention of a coat hook. Am I missing a reference to something? Can someone fill me in, I'm new here, thank you :)
All business class flight crew will take your cost and hang in the closet and bring it to you before landing, so why care about the little hook
Fantastic review, I love flying United Polaris.
thank you!! :)
@2:20 i noticed a mismatch socks. probably intentional haha.
2:02 that's what she said
2:31 Japanese toilet is way more advanced than Australian toilets
Only UA business class use tray to serve food
Is oneworld Flyer Squad back??
i think so😍😂 missed saying it
Were there no pyjamas provide for this flight ?
Nope, only on 12 hours+ flights
Only Asia airline provided pajamas even for 10 hours flight, let say flying from Hong Kong to Australia, Cathy airline give you pajama…., the food are much better than UA
Hi jayden, i was just wondering why you take vegetarian meals this time? Is it for religious reason or some other consideration instead? TQ
It was a good flight despite the baby crying, which can be a big pain to put up with!
I noticed that during the safety video they put it in Japanese subtitles as this plane was flying From Japan to USA. United airlines do put forieign language subtitles when they fly to China, Korea, Germany, France, Italy, etc.
Thank-you for your comment. It seems that you do a lot of overseas traveling. I would enjoy you embellishing your travel experiences, since it has been a long while since I've done much flying.
As for the baby crying, for many reasons I wish parents would not take little children on flights. The biggest reason is that as adults, we subconsciously are able to handle the changes in air pressure as the aircraft climbs and descends. Little children do not know how to do it, and thus they are in a lot of pain until the air pressure slowly adjusts in their middle ear. Unruly children however... I heard that Benadryl now comes in candy form.
SFO?
aha
I just wonder United long haul always have old men and women flight crews, I am not discriminate them, they are not so enthusiastic like the young gun. I flew JAL and Cathy, they are so attentive and go around to check what we want from time to time, the UA business class flight crew always stay around the gallery chitchatting.
How come the two United planes have different tails at 6:57?
United has not gotten around to painting the 737 with the newer livery.
You looked rather dashing in those Qantas pyjamas, Jayden 🔥
He looks dashing in all of his outfits!! ❤
@@aristhecargayandavgeek hahaah he looks great, i wonder if the United crew mentioned anything to him about wearing Qantas pjs?🤭
Wondering what is your carbon footprint for flying 32 times in 10 months. And for what ?
Good video, but that meal looks horrible, and the ice cream sundae doesn't offset the other negatives.
Wearing Qantas pjs on a UA flight - what a rebel! 😝
shh!
Next biman Bangladesh business class plssssss
No. That is taboo
@@woutergijs5246 wtf is that
Can u please return to be a non-vegan flyer ? I want to see normal food please. Thanks
I didn’t know you were in the US in California in late April. I’m flying the 737 max 9 on United in first class in a couple weeks so I’m interested to see how it goes. They don’t allow you to pick your meals in advance apparently. How did you pick your vegan meal ahead of time?❤️✈️
I was just there for transit haha. Went thru SFO both ways :)
On longer flights they let me. Shorter flights indeed they didn’t
when did you go vegan ?
Food is bland because it's vegan. Just eat normal food my friend. #PlantsLivesMatter
My last flight and only flight with UA United Tulip Colours Boeing 727-222 1968 construction with extra exit blocked but apparent Seattle to SanFrancisco January 1980 great hot meal service no overhead lockers only hat rat racks we were not worried. Loved it carbon tickets then on to LAX with Western Airlines Boeing 727-247 great service hot meal and a great way to fly champagne airline. With Hughes Airwest Douglas DC9-15RC Hot breakfast LAX to YEG December 1980 don't worry about vegan meals.
How about Ansett Flight AN 251 December 13 Saturday 1980 Adelaide to Sydney fully recorded ?
Have recorded super 8 film and tape cassette sound.
Ansett 727,
So you are a vegan but not really? What’s the deal…😂
UA serve junk food for business class, it’s terrible, definitely not worth it.
Just a note: Your body REQUIRES protein from meat. Humans are omnivores. Still like your videos.
UA is such a primitive carrier. Food without any touch of luxury. Meal looked disgusting and all served on one tray. Nothing for me. Good vid though
That food looks awful 🤮
It's vegan😭
Most vegan food is crap
My avgeek brain got pretty triggered when the Japanese flight attendant said ボーイング七百七十七 (Boeing *seven hundred seventy seven*)
How did a United 737 end up in Narita? 7:13
To Guam, former Continental Micronesia plane, they only fly 737, with multiple routes to Japan
United flies its 737-800 from Saipan & Guam to Tokyo
Probably flew 😉
Nice video!
Sundae looks really delicious! Very thoughtful of the cabin crew to make you one from the galley!
23:42 Nice catch of the seaplanes! We might be getting seaplane services between Sydney and Canberra soon, and I can't wait to try that out!
