Lol I’m not a fan of University of Illinois either 😂

United continues to impress! They'd upgraded me to an Economy Plus seat for free in the past too, and I think I did a trip video on that one. I don't mind so much the IFE vs. none because I'm usually busy filming anyway (and when not, I'd just be listening to music from my phone). That lav looks exactly like the one I filmed on an AA 737 except they temporarily decommissioned the sink and just laid out a bunch of towelettes. I'll be flying United again tomorrow on their CRJ-550 OMA-ORD, my 2nd time on it but first time filming.

If you don’t mind me asking how tall are you? Just for frame of reference as I’m flying EconomyPlus on same plane next week. I’m 6’2 so trying to get an understanding how comfortable it’ll be for a 4 hour flight. Thank you!

I’m 6’2. I haven’t tried economy on their max planes but I did do economy on their 737-800 last month and that was tight. Economy plus is much better plus better odds of an empty middle seat.

Thanks for sharing - man 6 hours in a 737 max. The bathroom must’ve been a disaster
