Crazy how people can't think for one second about how there are no indicators in this video that it was filmed during quarantine. It's busy in the airports, you're flying internationally on a FULL flight and there are no masks or stations to check for symptoms. It isn't hard to figure out it was pre-recorded. People just love to be angry and rage at others. I always love your videos Noel. I always fly United in the States but have yet to try this business class. Seems quite nice so I'm hoping when/if I can fly again I can check it out for myself. Thank you for the great content.
You are not good viewer , he have been said before he do all those flying for short time and he montage them and share them for separated time dore all the year
8:21 "I sucked on some wine and chewed on me nuts as we crossed into canada" omfg I died when I herd you say that best line ever!!! Yes I have the humor of a little kid lol
Great video man! I love the 767 and it’s good to see that United has given them some love! The roar of that plane will never get old! I just hope they don’t get retired because of the virus
@@lightwalker9879 Ironically,Aussies seem to go on strike at the rate Americans have mass shootings or weight problems.Flying from Syd-Melb,catering was on strike.Melb-Adelaide they were on strike again.No big deal.I think we Yanks should strike more.So many are complacent,or apparently brainwashed by corporations.
My penultimate long haul flight before Rona Times was on a United 787-10 in regular economy in February 2020 from JFK to CDG, and I think that was the best economy product I have flown on transatlantic. It was so good, I have to admit.. it is 100% worth the risk of being dragged indignantly off the plane because it was overbooked.
I’ve flown United internationally since before Polaris business class. Back then I would buy an economy ticket then upgrade. Now I just buy an international business/first ticket outright. As a matter of fact, because my trip to the UK and Germany last May was canceled by COVID, I have a business class voucher to use. Spot on about the Polaris lounges much nicer now. United domestic lounges are crap. However, the Asians, in general, still have the better lounges. Also, ANZ in Sidney, Australia is a great lounge. Qantas lounges are very good especially, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. There I usually “steal” a couple of Aussie beers at the lounge on my way home to the USA. Great video. Cheers.
I live in Denver. Since Denver is a major United hub I pretty much have to fly United. I am so happy with Polaris Class. You're right about that memory foam pillow. Polaris is definitely the best business class for getting sleep on a flight. I've always had trouble sleeping on planes but not in Polaris class. It took a couple years after they introduced Polaris Class to renovate all the lounges. I'm glad they have finally completed the lounges. The lounges are among the best.
Great vlog as always! Like you the 76 has a special place in my heart. The 74 was your first love, and the break up still hurts! Lol! Have you flown the -100 and -200? They have there charm. Stay safe, and be safe my friend!
I know United gets a lot of hate, some deserved most not, but in the twenty years I've been flying I've flown nearly all of it on United or Continental. And nearly every flight has been great. The horror stories I've had have been nearly all on American, with a few on Delta. This stupid virus... I can't wait to get back in the air.
I agree. Media played a big part with that doctor that was beaten out of the flight and wasn't even the United people doing that. It was airport security. But they unfairly took the heat from it even though it wasnt United employees that dragged and beat him out.
United is horrible! I’m currently a Premier Platinum member in their frequent flyer program and can’t wait to use all my points so I can stop flying with them. The way I have been treated by them is appalling. I’m sure my experience is not unique. I hope they go out of business. They do NOT deserve a tax payer bailout.
@@jackiebenjamin642 : Really? I have flown them in First and Business class, essentially on the Washington-Paris route, and they have been absolutely outstanding. Now, I haven't tried the coach class, perhaps that's what people mean when they say that UA is awful.
Yasmin Barry Maybe you should traveling coach to get the full experience. I’ve flown First and Business with them, mostly domestic, and their service in those cabins pales in comparison to other carriers.
Ah, OK. I guess flying international and domestic are two different things. But I do believe you (that their performance is not as good as their competitors', on those domestic lines. What a pity!)
Hey Noel would you ever consider trying out Royal Brunei business class from heathrow, I did the trip last year and I really enjoyed. I would like to see your thoughts
I cant wait till we can all fly again. I always look forward to your vids. I didnt know you had a private pilot licence. I am learning slowly, got 2 hours so far so a long way to go . Its very expensive
I think Polaris offers (for the most part) a fantastic hard product and the food improvement has been noticeable. In fact, all classes on the refurbished 763 are fantastic. The 767-300 is surprisingly fuel efficient for being so old and I honestly hope that United picks up a few tails from Delta and American as they ditch theirs. With lower demand for the next few years, the 767 and 787 seem to be “right-sized” versus 77Ws.
What a gorgeous sunset... I think this is perhaps the most photogenic video of yours I have had the pleasure of watching (appx 40+). I just love that tunnel at O'Hare. I have noticed many U.S. airports are in the upgrade process over the couple of years.
Love United Polaris business class and agree the lounge at the C Gates at ORD is fantastic . Great view of the apron. Many thanks for another great vid.
We had a chance to fly United first class.....Honolulu - Las Vegas.....was very impressed with the seat comfort! Enjoyed it very much and think it's the BEST!!....food was ok/rice hard.... and served BENTO STYLE....
I remember UA used to be in Term 2 and occupied Concourses E & F during all of the construction of B & C. When concourses B & C were semi-opened E&F were still being used but given up and occupied by I don't which airline took it over that point. My dad thought it was a pain in neck getting to and from the gates from the tkt counters everyday while work there.
United is still in Term 2, and still in E/F, but its now all United express flights over there, which are the small planes lyk the CRJ 200/550/700s. There mainline flights are in B, C with all the 737s, and Airbus 319/320s, and few wide body gates with the 767-777s. Plus gates at T5 international.
"A reclusive hermit like me" Think Dan (Gaston) would say the opposite from whenever he's met you! Another great video, pity your mic packed up! Hope we'll all be flying again soon, though car and train trips beckon for me first of all!
@@noelphilips dude you have my dream job the difference is you got off your ass and done it high rate for you iv spent hours watching your videos love how polite you are thanks for taking the time to reply il keep the likes coming in can't wait to see more content stay safe.
So the pilot at the beginning of United’s safety video I’ve met him before on a flight last summer and I’ve flown with United a few times since the safety video was out and I’m just realizing it.
Another outstanding TR Noel. I've never ever flown over Canada heading back to the UK in the light...I've flown from LAX probably 18 times and other parts of America probably 6 times...always winter time.
I fly UA business and first pretty often, I'm near the IAD hub, its pretty good, has improved a lot in recent years, though declined due to pandemic but I don't hold that against them for using the no or low contact service onboard, I assume it will go back to normal post-pandemic.
Noel, when was this flight? United has improved their service offerings the past couple of years. Haven’t flown them yet on international flights but have flown them to Hawaii several times. And the crew has always been the best part.
Looks like a solid flight, though I personally prefer DeltaOne, I wouldn't complain if I was in Polaris. That chicken looks great, when on US carriers I tend to go for the short rib, hmmm, what have I been missing ?
Great video, I watched a video on the same service from Narito to LA.... yours is much better the way you present it. I liked the way you dressed in a nice polo shirt, I think when riding in Business it is great to dress nicely.
How do you film things like getting on and off the plane without it being obvious and freaking people out? It's interesting to see day-to-day stuff like that.
I am always amazed when I get off a plane and see the mess other passengers leave around their seats. I would hate to go to their houses if that's how they live. Some people are real slobs on a plane, and I don't just mean in Economy, Business Class is normally the worst.
You mention how old the aircraft is (almost 20), but that one is actually a rare NEWER -300ER. The vast majority are 28-29 years old, delivered in 1991-1992. They all have Polaris, and will be UA’s only aircraft to wear 5 different liveries. Some have already been repainted into their 5th UA livery
I'm still a little surprised some lounges don't offer sleeping pods you can pay extra to sleep in, particularly if you have a moderate layover (say 3-6 hours). Even if they charged say $30 or $50 for 4 hours I think many people would go for that just to grab a few hour nap between flights. My guess is they probably completely gutted that 767's interior and that all you see is bsaically new(ish) interior (panels, seats, etc). Probably only the loo and structure (you don't see) is what remains of the original aircraft.
My speculation: United replaced one of its older 767s that would have needed major maintenance + cabin refurb with the relatively young 767 ex Hawaian, With demand way down, and Delta downsizing from 777s to 350s/330s, I wonder if United might not run with 767s instead of 777s. This would mean United would likely want to receive pending 787s since they cost less to operate.

i ran to the comment section the second i saw that lmfao
I also died laughing 😅
@@arynchadha3369 : +1
That made me howl 😆😆
Polaris lounges are by far the best I’ve visited here in the States. Visited the one in SFO and was very impressed.
8:23 how did it feel chewing on your nuts?? 🤣
Ha Ha, I thought the exact same thing LMAO!!
😂😂😂 I had a laugh at that as well!
I nearly spat my drink out when he said that! LOL!!
LMAOOO
HAHAH LOL
Haha wow . Just as something interesting I actually was part of the team that assembled those seats :)
Great video man! I love the 767 and it’s good to see that United has given them some love! The roar of that plane will never get old! I just hope they don’t get retired because of the virus
Sadly, they might retire the 767-400 though
[Blank] I think United is renovating the 767s right now.
NateLeech United has only retired 11 planes during the virus and they were all 757-200s.
A lovely complimentary bottle of Peckham spring water!
SFO’s Polaris lounge is my favorite so far. Hoping I’ll be able to check out ORD’s Polaris lounge one day.
That view of London at 11:33 WOW!!! :)
I don’t know if Polaris is the best US Business Class, but it definitely it a major improvement over United’s old product.
It is Emerits Sorry for my spelling
@@raphaelk.991 Emirates is not a US carrier
Have you seen the new Delta One suites?
We are waiting for your suggestion don leave us hanging
No it isn’t at all. UA had F before; Polaris is just business
Hello Noel,
I love this United Boeing 767 Polaris Business Class. This is the perfect business class seats for Boeing 767. Just love it. ❤️
Stay safe Noel and all inflight video fans :)
Mi name jeff
The pilot on arrival sounded like an Australian.
2:58 sounded like Aussy cabin crew too...
Don’t think that was the pilot
Lot of a aviation staff left Australia during the pilot strike.
It sounds like the male cabin crew who greeted him upon boarding was an Aussie, and that’s who we heard upon landing.
@@lightwalker9879 Ironically,Aussies seem to go on strike at the rate Americans have mass shootings or weight problems.Flying from Syd-Melb,catering was on strike.Melb-Adelaide they were on strike again.No big deal.I think we Yanks should strike more.So many are complacent,or apparently brainwashed by corporations.
“Sucked on my wine and chewed on my nuts” this killed me

It's great to see that even with the lock down Noel's channel is consistent and we still get amazing content to watch every Saturday
Was this during lockdown though, looks like footage from an earlier flight pre-covid. No masks etc... at all.
No I don't think so!
My point was that it's nice that we get uploads every week
United is keeping it up 🇺🇸💪🏻
Great video! 👍 Can't wait to get on a plane again. 😊

United has certainly done a lot to improve its image, Cannot be far off the best now.
The best at what or against whom? Certainly not a top 15 airline.

Love the herringbone layout. Its my fav.
First time I've seen one of your reviews. I like the format and the style!
Thank you for your service!
Sunday Riley?! That's pretty classic being that a 4 oz jar of their facial lotion is like $80 or something at Sephora! You lucky dog you!
Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Love United Polaris business class and agree the lounge at the C Gates at ORD is fantastic . Great view of the apron. Many thanks for another great vid.
Printing the flight particulars is helpful, including the date.
Fantastic trip report. Love that rainbow tunnel.
Glad you enjoyed it
No ice cream sundaes? They were the highlight of United biz first to Honolulu! 3 years ago
Can't wait for our trip in May using Polaris
My favorite airport lounge is the united polaris lounge in newark New Jersey
Oh I miss flying 😩 Great video, thanks for sharing!
That shot at 8:40 looks like you're in space!
5:03 Love that attitude of the crew
The star alliance lounge in Bradley at LAX in my opinion is the best lounge in the US.
Great video. Can't wait to fly again, when its safe. Had to cancel my flight to Manchester, to see family in July.
How many videos have you got left to upload before you run out due to the current crisis?

Can you do a video on how you find cheap flights again
Great vlog Noel, my favourite US International lounge has to be the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at SFO, hope it survives
Great Airborne, great Landing! great video, only 15 min with all necesary info!
Enjoyed the video. The view over London was fantastic. The person who did the announcement, sounded British or Oz

Great video!
The stewardess scratching her neck as you boarded could not have looked less welcoming if she tried 🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 but great video !!
The SFO Polaris lounge is the best for sure

What time was it in witch year and what month
Early March 2020 before lockdowns. Time you can look up yourself on a flight tracking app
Great video as always Noel. Got to love the 767! It’s shame they probably won’t survive post Covid19.
so far so good!
You mention how old the aircraft is (almost 20), but that one is actually a rare NEWER -300ER. The vast majority are 28-29 years old, delivered in 1991-1992. They all have Polaris, and will be UA’s only aircraft to wear 5 different liveries. Some have already been repainted into their 5th UA livery
Delta Crown Club in Atlanta, Orlando and Minneapolis although all were fantastic
I wonder what it looks like now with infection control?
I think the best is delta one?
No disrespect but how old was that cabin crew look ready for retirement i think
That is the norm for many US carriers in America. 😂
Is this before Corona?
Yeah, his flights stopped around March before the lockdown and travel bans.
Michael Kitchin ok thx
I might sound crazy, but O’Hare is my favorite airport.
It's massive but easier to get around in than Newark is.
Denver above all. But, ohare is pretty easy to get around, and I do love the tunnel as well.
I'm still a little surprised some lounges don't offer sleeping pods you can pay extra to sleep in, particularly if you have a moderate layover (say 3-6 hours). Even if they charged say $30 or $50 for 4 hours I think many people would go for that just to grab a few hour nap between flights.

Yesterday, I went planespotting at Ohare
My speculation: United replaced one of its older 767s that would have needed major maintenance + cabin refurb with the relatively young 767 ex Hawaian,
