Thanks for the kind words. Your flight attendant was my mom Riza Dayrit. She's been with UA for over 30 years now and still loves her job. She was exciting when I told her that you posted a video!!
AHHH tell her hi and thanks again for such a memorable service!
Dantorp Aviation “I never realized he was videotaping everything! I never saw him talk by himself. I'm so glad I didn't mess up his flight. They're very sweet couple though. Good thing they were not seated on the other side. Purser worked on the other side and I worked starboard. She's always busy and always rushes most of the time. I remember offering what ever the boyfriend wanted and had special vegetarian meals for dinner and breakfast.” - what my mom text me after watching your video
How do you know if the flight attendant was your mum
10:32, I recognize my mom and he says her name
no way... that's amazing
I have only had great service from United.
Both of the following itineraries came from Aeroplan (Canada) points redemptions.
In 2012, I flew in First Class from Chicago to Brussels and return from Frankfurt via Washington to Toronto. Within the year preceding this holiday, I had suffered a heart attack. Two friends had been severely injured in a train derailment near Toronto. Another friend had just died. In addition to working, I was my mother's caregiver. The crew from Chicago to Brussels was just super! Their service went above and beyond that night - something that I have never forgotten. On the return flight, too, the service was fantastic!
In 2017, I flew again in First Class with United. Polaris had just been introduced; the Polaris Lounge in Chicago had just opened. On this routing, I flew from Chicago to Frankfurt, and, returned from Munich via Chicago to Toronto. Since my previous United experience, my mother had died from cancer; I had been her full time caregiver for the last year of her life. I had lost, and, kept off 100 lbs. of body weight. The lounge was the just wonderful; the team was attentive, friendly and helpful! That level of service continued on board all the way to Germany. On the return journey, the service was just as superb from the Bavaria all the way to the Windy City.
Thank you for posting an update on United. I cannot wait to fly with it again!
Daniel, I am twice your age. I "came of age" in the late 70's/early 80's when being gay was so very, very hard: so often met with violence and certainly no acceptance. When I hear you say so casually, "my boyfriend, Oscar (Oskar?)"...you make me so very proud!!!!!!
Thank you so much Bradley, we owe it all to your generation!
Bravo Daniel.... I'm right there in Bradley's generation.
Yup, the world has come a long way 👍
Indeed
@@NonstopDan yeah it's really inspiring
Can u please do British Airways vs AirFrance vs KLM in economy week?
0:12 I was expecting you to say: "The last time I flew with it I was actually dragged off the flight."
Hahaha thankfully not!
Dantorp Aviation I wouldnt be surprised if it did happen!
RUclips-Kanal 😂😂
ikr
RUclips-Kanal You’re a bit late on that meme.
“Uneven”... so you mean odd 😅
Soooo excited for this review
Great as always
Thanks Jack! :D
I adore your videos :-) you’re so professional, yet you seem quite genuine and close. Thanks for your hard work!
Woooo! Excited for this review!
Elk ya lets hope he edited the part where he got dragged out out of the video though.
Watching your videos is not just a learning experience but also highly entertaining. Thanks for another great one, Daniel, and kudos for mentioning your boyfriend by name. He's a very lucky man.
Gender is a social construct. How do you know he identifies as a man? The cultural Marxists would be very unhappy with your thought crime.
+Kevin T please shut the Fuck up!
I missed the questionnaire. I respect you so much for your aspirations for this You Tube channel. I think your integrity is what these channels need more of. Bravo
Liked before watching and also I have never clicked a notification faster!!
Saransh Chaudhary calling any united product good does not deserve a like tbh
Dan, i am happy to hear about your experience with Polaris Business. I have flown UA Polaris between ORD-HKG-SIN on the old 777-222ER. My experience was amazing, because the soft product elements were in place as the 777-300ER were just coming into the fleet. The seat was dated, but the soft product was so good that I didn't care. United has stepped up its game and will be a very competitive premium product once the hard product is fully installed on the long haul fleet.
Really amazing to see how U.S carriers improve their services to be high-standard quality like other 5-star airlines in the world
I'd say their seats are on-par, but not the soft product, yet...
when was united 5 star. and anyway they deserve 1.
planes spotter and railfanner so you’re saying United is worse than RyanAir and Spirit?
Why don't you have one membership card in each alliance?
Great review! The seat looks really nice!
I absolutely love this video and your channel!
Love your narration and tge way you take videos Daniel. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼
Polaris look amazing! Nice trip report!
This is the best and most descriptive and most interesting video I have ever seen on first class flying. Great Video!
Another excellent video with lots of great information and perfectly presented.
Excellent review, Daniel. I enjoy your objective, intelligent points of view, and really admire your maturity and aplomb, which are not always evident with your competitors. Keep up the good work!
Thank you George, I truly appreciate the kind words!
Any plans to fly Delta One anytime soon? Love the videos.
Also with respect to United, I also had similar reservations but I think in general they are improving across the company. Some rough patches here and there but I see some changes taking place.
Of course, my previous comment doesn't take into account the recent story of United flight attendants forcing a passenger to place their dog in the overhead bin, consequently killing it ... Come fly the friendly skies?
Another great video!
Awesome review! Really loved it
Awesome video, Dan!!! 😊
I'm glad you had great/redeeming experience with UA... great channel!
Excellent review, by far one of your best. That was a gorgeous plane and it's great to see that there are great flight attendants. :-)
I enjoy these Vlogs so much💕 I’m so sorry about the terrible experience you had previously.
Congratulations on your channel, i have been watching it for some time now and it has always been good but lately, you have really made giant leaps of improvement. Your style is the same yet you have matured and it shows. Kudos!
Thanks Jorge! So glad to hear that :D
What seat did you get placed in?
Great review as always. Very impressed with United Polaris product. Thanks for the SPG rewards card tip will be looking into that.
P.S. Is that Oscar behind the camera.... LOL... He should pop in and say Hi....
Loved your description of their good service! Love it! Thank you for the fun revue!
Jon Arne L. Nygaard good service? wtf this is united u know?
haha... yeah. But even them have individuals whom are able to provide good service...
Your channel is amazing!! 👍🏼
Very helpful bro thanks for all the trip reports thanks!
Thanks for the review, Dan. We are flying United to NZ and Australia next summer and this was a great preview
Simply awesome! Thanks again Dan!
Great video mate! I love United’s Polaris Product!
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad you had a good experience on this flight. By the way, "uneven" numbers = odd numbers.
Yeah.. when I heard him say that, I thought to myself.. thats odd!
@@raknoknak underrated
been waiting for this since I saw your story and totally enjoyed watching. the new polaris is on top of my to-do list and I can't wait to fly it myself, it looks amazing! thank you for the detailed video and have a great weekend
Amandeuce BIG FAN OF YOURS. YOU ARE THE BEST TRIP REPORTER
thank you, people like you make me happy!
This is the best polaris review on youtube!👍🏻✨ i agree with all your views in this review!
great vid dan
Harassment on United? never heard before.
...and nobody would ever be dragged out of a United airplane 😁
VMC Aviation Videos You’re late on that joke.
It's never late for a United joke.
DONT EVEN START THAT
@@VMCAviationVideos Republic plane*. People still today don't realize that it is literally just united name on the side. The pilots and flight attendants are hired by republic and the aircraft is owned by republic...……..
Nice service in Polaris Business Class,that bedding looked Absolutely fantastic,so comfy I'm sure.Yes I think I'd give United a try on my next long range International trip.Great video,nice job!
Hi! I loved your IG story at the time, and really enjoyed your honesty in your vlog. Go go SPG! Andy
Thanks for the heads-up regarding the odd numbered seats! Definitely will make the experience better!
Liked the vid dan! Great video
Thanks so much!
SJ Navaid
Great review!
sounds like you enjoyed yourself :). the flight attendant sounds so lovely, love all ur videos xo!
Thanks Lydia! I sure did :D
Excellent review!
Great video Dan, love that background music, so chilled!
Have you done an Air NZ video, hear they are pretty amazing between LHR and LAX.
The crew are meant to be amazing, want to try them later this year.
Very nice video and way of explaining was super inside Boeing 777 very nice 👌👌👌👍👍👍
Great video, very detailed
Great review, had to subscribe!
Thanks so much Sheryl!
Metal boxes are super reusable. Great for storing office supplies. That one is stylish and fun
Loved this plane so much
Love your video’s 🔥❤️👌🏽
"Sir, would you like our Half-a-Death Star Nuts?" LOL, that was really funny! I just subbed...
“I don’t know if you guys have ever heard the expression shook”
It’s 2018 , at this point ‘shook’ is everyone’s middle name 😂
love the vids
Thank you! :D
your videos are so addictive omg
Good work bro keep it up
I'm a new subscriber and I just love everything about this channel..pls do a q&a video ^^ Love from Malaysia!!!
WOW NICE REVIEW OF THIS FLIGHT
Dan another great review, I'm no longer able to fly as I had a very bad flight experience some years ago which left me scared of flying. Your reviews really bring me a great amount of pleasure so thank you so much for your time and effort. Please pass on my regards to Oscar as I suspect he assists you hugely in your work.
I'm so glad to hear the Jeff! I appreciate it and Oskar says hi ;)
I tried Polaris from Narita to Newark last January and it was an awesome experience.
I am 1K and I love united, yesterday I took the flight from BOM-EWR, it is a 16hr flight, I was upgraded to United Polaris, what a ride!!!! the best ever!
So many flights of you go from San Francisco so cool
So good to see VGML's in business class. Super rare to see reviewers getting them :)
Seems like United have stepped up their game. I fly LH Business quite a few times a year and from the looks I'd prefer a single seat like in the United Polaris. I'll definitely try that on my next intercontinental flight to the US.
Hey kiddo!!! Love your Vids.. I just flew United to Bogota via Houston out of Dallas/Fort Worth.. it was on time, clean, nice agents and crew and very very yummy food... they are sincerely improving...... keep up the cool vids.....I love watching 'em... Scott in Cleuburne, Texas
can you store your carry on backpack underneath that area under your foot rest??
Hi Dan. Loved your video! I had my first experience flying Polaris (ORD --> GRU) last week and was similarly impressed with the bedding, seat (First on an older 777-200) and especially the friendly crew! Also, the Polaris lounge at O'Hare is a huge step-up from United Club with a la carte dining and craft cocktails. Lastly, show your boyfriend more the next video! ;)
Thanks for watching Glen, and he might be coming up in one soon ;)
Great review
I've had similar United experiences, making me love United!
Guerl I love your hair, nicely done.
I realy like this review, can you make a video about KLM business class on the Dreamliner ?
I love your Chanel and I watch your video almost a year and I didn’t see any review on el al Israel’s aireline please review there 787 you will be impressed
Do you need to pay for the food from the galley?
I am not surprised. I’ve enjoyed even the old business class. Your remark toward the crew is something I wanna get into for obvious reasons ... it should not make a difference when you fly, or to which destination you are flying in terms of the consistency of crew performance. However, crews are mixed st matched from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences and from personal experience during the last couple of months I can tell you that some love what they do and some just do it. This is probably why your experiences have been drastically different. No, it should not be this way, clearly, but to some degree it always will until the passionate people overrule those that are just “there”
@Nonstop Dan Hi what would be a fair price for a business class ticket from USA to Tel Aviv
Eddie1536
United flies to Ben Gurion Airport from Washington-Dulles (IAD) once or twice a week. Biz costs $5,235 round-trip at minimum.
El Al flies to Tel Aviv from Newark. Biz costs $5,644 round-trip at minimum.
Nice, this is helpful.
We are looking forward to our United Polaris Business Class flight from Newark to Mumbai. and our 30 day cruise on the Viking Sun 'Mumbai through Mediterranean Passage' ending in London. Nice video and I am sure we will be delighted to travel Polaris for the first time.
Thank you for being a good guy and you deserve it
loved it !
I don't think I have ever seen an over-the-shoulder seatbelt for passengers on planes before. How often do we see that?
What have you used for video shooting? GoPro + ?
UA is making a concerted effort of make the right sort of changes. I am so glad you had a great experience in Our new Polaris product.
which one you liked better Lufthansa or United?
Personally, I really like United. Of course there could be some improvements, but overall, I do believe that United is a genuinely good airline.
Another great video. BA has a great deal of catching up to do in business!! What do you do when not flying all over the world?
Amazing video, I like this product and stacks up well agent Deltas and Americans offerings, I have a suggestion for economy week, US ultra Budget, Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant? It sounds interesting! Thank you for making amazing videos like this and all the other ones in your library!
love the 747 kit
Daniel, have you been doing reviews on Delta or Air Newzealand yet? I couldn't find any on your channel. These two are my fav airlines! But only flew Eco class so far...
I really love Polaris and the San Francisco Polaris lounge is the best business class lounge I’ve been to.
This card is no longer available. Anyone know of something similar with lots of points like this one??
great video
Great job on this! I like that you didn't spend 10 minutes on the menu and food. It always changes. The bedding tips were valuable. I leave for Singapore next week on the United 787-9. They have not been retrofitted with the 1-2-1 config so they are definitely not private. The upside is that there are more seats available in Business Class, making upgrade opportunities better. I flew the ANA 777-300 last November and it looked very similar to this. The service was impeccable. I would love to hear from you on what the United crew kerfuffle was. I had a horrific one a couple of years back, instigated by asking politely if they could reset the seat power. What commenced from there was probably the most insulting experience of my life. I am a 1K and a 1 Million Mile Flyer that should hit 2 million in a few more years. That made no difference to this nasty crew. Cheers to you and keep up the good work!
i love united polaris your the man
