United Airlines Business Class Review 767 to JFK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
- In this United Airlines video, you’ll see a return to (near) normal airline service. United Airlines’ premium transcontinental service from San Francisco to New York’s JFK airport is some of the best available.
United Airlines serves the route with a 767-300 with room for only 167 people. Other 767’s in the fleet have space for as many as 214 people!
This United Airlines flight was one that impressed me. I’ll share all of the Business Class amenities with you along with my impressions of what we experienced - including the Jebscore!
United Airlines re-started this relatively new service at the end of March 2021 and you’ll experience the sights and sounds that make it so special.
From remarkable food to a fantastic seat and attentive service, this is what luxury air travel in the United States is meant to be. Or is it? Watch the video and then be the judge!

"So we're leaving today from gate F14. How cool is that?"
Very cool.
That approach footage of NYC was just amazing!
767-300s are such elegant aircrafts!
AA old 76’s sucked, period. Glad they got rid of them😹
I've gotta respect United's efforts to make to look more modern, seems like one of the sexiest cabins in the sky
They are rumor ( very few) they would but the 350-1000 on the future. It would be awesome if they did, but I think they would order the 777x in my opinion or more 787s
@@sergiolaurencio7534 I would prefer that they order the 777X over the A350. With the NPS, stingy United may choose the 10 abreast setup which will be even worse than on the 777-200/-300.
It's so great seeing normalcy returning
Amen
Don’t push your luck just yet
@@airwipe1639 Things are definitely returning back to normal, and we’re not turning back 😎
@@Jack3md have you seen India?
Yeah, I was getting real sick of that clean air.
Gotta love the 767!
When I fly to Athens in June that’s the type of plane I will be on
@@sooners2037 Cool, I was lucky to fly on Deltas a350 KSEA-KATL.
I agree, love the Polaris gel pillow! Thanks for this and all your videos!
Great video as always, Jeb. I have flown Polaris all over the world. Great product. The current meal offerings are NOT sufficient. I am tired of the "Covid Cafeteria" food. The following needs to return: PDB, hot towel, starters/appetizers, salads, hot meals on glassware, sundae cart and a la carte ordering need to return ASAP!
Excellent job! First off, it’s great how you’ve finally gotten the chance to do an in-depth review involving SFO, which is my “home” airport! Additionally, it’s exciting to learn that United has come back to JFK and to see that the onboard service has largely returned to normal. I like how we are regularly receiving their premium-configured 767s now, which will be a joy to fly on in any class, but particularly in economy when compared to their 777s and 787s (which I’m pretty sure are the only United wide-bodies SFO regularly got before this JFK service).
I could watch Jeb videos all day long-- he has such a calming voice and perfectly paced review videos!
Love watching your videos and watch spotting, nice reverso tribute!
Thank you for Flying Our friendly skies. The service gives testament to the "below the wing" team members. From our cleaning crew, fuelers, ramp, gate customer service, and more to make this happen on a daily basis. As a 32 year Line tech, I am very intimate with our 767 fleet. This is a wonderful airframe. I hope we continue JFK service for many years. From your SFO based 'Below the wing' teams,
Thank You.
Jeb, always good to see your stories! As a long time customer of UA it's great to see them back "in the game"! I will have to totally agree with you on the coffee situation at their only open lounge at SFO and it's the same at LAX so I guess Cali still has control over the experience. I do have to say that you were more then generous with your depiction of the lounge itself. That lounge (the lounge I am sitting in right now) is something out of Chicago 1987! It needs major facelift! Keep flying and hope to join you on board one day.
Love the 767. Will forever be a favorite of mine! Great video!
Wow, that looked like a rather solid trip Jeb, great review!
your videos are always so great and in depth
Making my return to the skies this week in United First (Albeit a much less prestigious route). Good to see United keep things up fairly well relatively speaking.
Good to see United back with meal service!
United has had meal service on the premium routes SFO-EWR and LAX-EWR throughout COVID, they never stopped providing it on these flights. JFK would be considered a premium route too so this is no different from before.
Feels good having the normal reports back
Really enjoy your vlogs. Excellent photography along with clear, concise narration. Your ratings of service etc., are helpful for planning expectations. Thank you Jeb. Keep bringing these informative vlogs. Watched your review of CA Zephyr. A+. Would consider that rail adventure.
I was a ramp agent for United at SFO and it was a rare occurrence to see any UA 767 at the gate, but with the addition of SFO-JFK routes, SFO is getting some much needed UA 767 love. My first widebody I ever pushed out happened to be a UA 767-400ER headed to EWR, so it was such a treat, especially since I was being trained for dispatch.
As somebody who took 48 flights from the UK in 2019 and 8 in 2020 (all before March) seeing this video gives me hope we might get back to normal, maybe not this year but surely next.....safe travels!
Another good one, Jeb. Thanks!
Just booked this route yesterday for June! And I picked 9A! Glad you liked it.
Great review! Just recently followed you on instagram and really have enjoyed your content for the last couple years. Thanks :)
BTW props for editing.
Awesome video as always!
Another great video Jeb. I love the positive approach you always take with your videos - even when things aren't quite up to expectations. Looking forward to doing my first transcon flight in October (albeit with AA on their A321), but hope to try the United 767 at some point in the future.
Good to see you back Jeb! Let's hope that we are all close flying the skys again. Personally I can't wait!
Ah man, is that a reverso? You got some serious class. Glad to see you back in the skies.. hoping for more regular content!
So nice to see you flying again!
I don’t know what number this video is that I’ve watched from your channel. I’ve watched alot but I keep forgetting to give it a thumbs up. I love the channel and all the content you post. Keep it up!!!
Early once again great video 👍
Another great video, Jeb. Thanks
Jeb, glad you had a great time, this service looks great. Guess we will have to wait for the old meal service to return.
Glad to hear that things are getting closer to normal! We travel in 6 weeks! Can't wait!
Thank you United for this! 😊 this is really good service
Great Review Jeb !!
I love this route. The Polaris seats going coast to coast is always great
Great review Jeb!
Jeb, also being a United groupee, thank the creative director. And thank you.
You’re 10 minutes away from my house lol (JFK)
I flew LHR-EWR on that config a couple of years ago ago and was very impressed.
LHR crew.
Service was excellent.
Had flown old 767 config, 2 versions in the past but was amazed by the 46J.
My only complaint was the narrow footwell.
Was a day flight so not a major problem.
That’s like over a million people at minimum in that range
@Harrison Carter I’m in a house
Mine too lol
No. 10 bus.
Or you can take the train to the plain.
Glad to see things are getting better
Great video, Jeb!
Thank you Jeb for the great travel report. I always enjoy watching them. 👍🏻
Good video. Appreciate the color on your insights.
Thank you for this and all your videos. Not sure how often we would book first or business class but the overall experience is enjoyable and a welcome distraction from the mundane day to day life we live.
Great informative video
Safe travels. You have an amazing evening!
Nice video like always , not Travel related but you should do a video of your watch collection, love the diversity you have👍🏼
Rocking the Reverso this trip! 🙂👍
Wow my home airport! I wish I could've seen you. Enjoyed the review Jeb! Seems like I got to try the 63s someday on this route or on another route!
Why don’t you wait to write only one comment?
@@martinc.720 I was going to watch the video later thats why
@@martinc.720 what are u even talking abt?
You should review air Tahiti in the future! Would love to see what a flight with them would be like when travel restrictions clear up!
I flew United first class to Turks and Caicos recently, they gave us these snack boxes, pre-pandemic it would have been a hot meal. They need to go back to normal service.
Thanks for the ride! 😊
Great video!
Loved the aerial footage of my hometown, Scranton! It's got a small but surprisingly nice airport.
Good one Jeb!!
According to a flight attendant on an AA flight I recently took, AA plan on bringing back full service in June/July
I just cant wait for the masks to he optional
That would be great if it happens - and they’ll get my business
Assuming American is still in business....
Masks being optional will not be the decision of the airlines. It is federal law that masks must be worn at all times onboard airplanes, trains, ferries and buses. Until that is rescinded, individual airline policy doesn't matter one bit.
@@JBS319 I am aware, that being said some airlines enforce the rules more then others, some FA enforce the rules more then others for example the budget airlines are known for giving passengers a much harder time, I fly a lot once in the air I think I was asked 4-5 times about wearing the mask properly, many times I have gone to the crew areas and have seen flight attendants with their masks off pretending to eat or drink
Mask have to be made optional especially if you are vaccinated or have antibodies
Best Weekend EVER Between You, SAN Spotter, Swayne Martin, Simple Flying, DJ’s Aviation and Paul Stewart down in Australia 🇦🇺publishing new videos! I can’t think of a better way to spend my day!
Dont forget Paul Lucas at wingin it.
@@jonnyb2774 Yep
Oh my you were in my beautiful city of San Francisco! Wish I knew you were here and could’ve given you a personal tour!
Noticed that gray has caught up with your hair 😀
Need to come back for sure
scranton appreciates the shoutout :)
You did thisss !!!
Im flying of this type of plane and class too! From SFO to JFK next week!!
i love this vid! Alot
Gorgeous Reverso Jeb!!
Thanks! I picked it up during the visit! Felt like it needed a cameo. 🤣
That was a awesome flight
Great view of NYC
UA 767!! Great :)
Great video
Great video as usual Jeb....The food offering at the lounge in SFO looks that same as it did in 2019 to me. The only difference was the coffee situation.
Nice view of Manhattan
cool review - thanks. Your Amtrak reviews brought me to this page. Honestly, for flights, I do not use the lounge at all so I am surprised it has 5 stars to add to your review total. I would think most travelers these days just want to be in and out of an airport but maybe that is just me.
Good review. Nice to see United back at JFK.
Great video!! I appreciate the background and understand why flying the 767-300 vice the dreamliner (787-10) on this same route has been a bit of a challenge in the past few months.
P.S.- I'm a little surprised that UA and Delta are still flying grandpa aircraft on select long haul flights (757-67s).
United will soon begin the process of retiring their 757 aircraft, not sure how long they’ll keep their 767s
@@Mrcharles. 752’s on their way out with incoming A321XLR’s (delivery date 2024). 753’s getting updates, so likely 30 at soonest. 76’s are being replaced by the 78’s with delivery time by 30.
Fun fact about the UA High-J 767: One of the two window exits is blocked due to the last row of Polaris seat situated there. There is also a warning sticker on the outside of the aircraft stating that the forward window exit is not usable. So Jeb's nearest usable exits would have been door 1L, 1R, or window exit 2.
Cooling gel pillow is back as of the inaugural flight in/out of JFK. Also now on EWR flights as well.
But yes, the UA premium transcon service is way better than DL (until it brings back food later in June) and AS, but both AA and B6 have better in-flight meals and drinks as of now.
I went to that United club it was nice especially after a loooong flight
Looking forward to your video on the Zephyr, I have ridden that train several times west of Denver and it is a fantastic trip, looking forward to hearing your take on it. I don't understand why they cannot have the self-service coffee/hot chocolate machines running, heck every convenience store I can think of have them operating but then again I have not been in my home state of California since 2016.
I am glad United had a great aircraft to do that Transcon service. United had the PS Service that flew this service with the three class 757-200s. I had the pleasure of working a couple of PS Service Flights. I use to always laugh at the Business Class on the 757s. The seats I this section were cute looking. Now the First Class seats reminded me of the First Class seats on the older 767s. Cute!! Yes, I think when we all in the airlines industry are able to get back to full service that will be just back "normal"! We will see
wow, there really is nothing quite like flying over new york city. amazing view
Shoutout Scranton! You flew right over my house on that route lol
Jeb, growing up in southern Brooklyn, this is some of the BEST aerial footage of NYC I've EVER seen. Are you just shooting it on your GoPro? 4K setting?
i love it jeb
Thanks Jeb for helping heating up our planet.
When you were showing the Rockies I was expecting you to mention the California Zephyr. So looking forward to that!
Can’t wait to post it! Thanks so much for watching!
@@GreenerGrass You’re welcome
I can’t wait to travel one day
The business class catering you showed, seems the equivalent of economy catering, pre covid on many carriers. I think they will stick with that cost cutting going forward
Last time I travelled from AKL- SFO on the 77W, SFO-KEWR on the 787-10 back in 2019 a year before the pandemic started, great flights all around, totally enjoyed them on Polaris Business all the way to New Jersey. Hope to be going back to the USA sometime at the end of this year hopefully or next year when things settle down in the USA and the Pandemic is over.
I am glad to see since my Polaris transcon flight late last year they now provide a proper bowl to eat your dole fruit cup out of! Haha, but in all seriousness I am jealous the gel pillow is back and I didn't get to try it yet. Thanks for another fun review Jeb!
I had to re-read the title to make sure I didn't read that wrong, but as a long time resident of NYC ive gotten used to united operating out of EWR. quite nice to see them returning to JFK
Awesome review. I’ll fly their 763’s next month
Have a great trip!! And thanks so much for watching!
United is my favorite airlines
That wing flex though
Another interesting vlog Jeb
So would you say that United are no. Longer the unfriendly skies ?
please keep doing train trips they are awesome.
nice JLC... you are obviously a watch man!
I love united
This is another epic video.
Also, yes, it's time for a Transcon Throwdown redo. It occurred 3 years ago. With JetBlue's new Mint suite and United's Polaris, I'm extremely curious to see how they stack up today.
Flying First on United on Friday from PHX to FLL and sure hope those flights have improved. We will see!
