  • Watch this video to see what it’s like to fly with United Airlines on 787 Dreamliner to Amman, Jordan!
    United Airlines has announced more new routes to fascinating destinations than any other US airline and I booked a ticket on the first of these flights. I traveled in United Airlines First Class “Polaris” from Washington Dulles Airport to Amman, Jordan.
    You’ll see everything, from the incredible Polaris Lounge in Washington to the epic party the airline hosted at the gate. You’ll see the United Airlines First Class Polaris Seat, the United Airlines First Class food and service, not to mention the United Airlines Inflight Entertainment.
    You’ll even get the highlights of the United Airlines Inaugural Flight festivities. From the party to the food to the giveaways and even some incredible Jordanian Dancing!
    No doubt about it, United Airlines did this right!
    But, best of all, I had the chance to meet up in Petra with my friend and fellow RUclipsr, Dennis Bunnik. Check out his channel here:

      Glad you guys are enjoying your time in Jordan! If you still have some time head up north to the city of Irbid, a very vibrant city in Jordan and the second largest city. Sea of Galilee is not far from the city center, you can also go there an enjoy some fascinating views from restaurants overlooking the opposing territories of Syria and the Golan heights.

      I agree with @canadian aviator. Crew locking of the controls sucks. I avoid the 787 when possible. I like the lower cabin altitude but it's honestly not av geek friendly. I fly to be able to see outside. I appreciate not introducing lots of extra light into the cabin, but I can't really see that well if they're locked in the darkest mode.

    The Dreamliner windows are a hit or miss. Personally, I quite like them, and I see the technology getting improved down the road. When flight attendants take full control and dim the whole cabin, it's dark enough. I don't understand the part about it not being bright enough though.
    Airlines definitely love them, so much so that Airbus plans to add them to future A350 aircraft.

    Excellent guide to the United 787-10. I flew on a United 777-200ER in Polaris a couple weeks ago and had a similar experience… except the IFE crashed a couple times and was gone for good. United’s meal service is not the worst and far from the best. Luckily, food quality in the Polaris lounge is very good. Better to eat there than on the plane, if you can.

      If you have been inconvenienced on the flight no matter what's the cause is, you're entitled to some form of compensation. All the crews have got company issues iphone and all of them are able to issue you compensations from their device. Do not be hesitated to ask for it if you're genuinely being inconvenienced like you said. You can choose between travel credit or mileage if you're a mileage plus member.

    I was the inaugural JetBlue flight to London last year (2021) and sat next to a couple who had ‘accidentally stumbled’ on to the flight. The tickets had been bought by them or their family weeks in advance and they picked the flight because of price and time. I’m not even sure they’d flown JetBlue before!
    I think it is safe to say they will never forget that flight. From the cheering on takeoff and landing, to all of the pre-flight excitement at the gate and numerous reminders this was not an originally TATL flight, I think they were thrilled! (Or at least I hope so..) We did manage to get some sleep too, which I was appreciative of.

    Totally agree re the 787 windows. I much prefer the traditional window shade. Also, I really don't like when the FA's just close them all and you have no ability to open them/look out. Otherwise, I think the UA 787's are pretty comfortable to fly on in Polaris, and I agree that the Polaris lounges are probably the best US airline lounges in the states.

    As someone who traveled continously for 7 years, I enjoyed the 787's windows. Here's why. I never understood why someone would take the window seat and immediately shut the window. Sure, there are hot days and also periods of time when the sun is shining right through it straight on to everyone. For those times, yes. please shut them. But the folks who close them as soon as they get on a 9 hour flight, at the gate, I've never understood. OK, with that out of the way, yes you are right, even with the monochromatic window set to the darkest, you can still see out of it. I do enjoy looking out of the window when we're on the ground or if something important is happening. These windows do visually allow us to see out but they aren't a problem for heat or the sun beaming in. To this day, I still enjoy my flights on the 787's more so now that the series 9 and 10 have the Premium Plus cabin.

    Hi Jeb, can you do a behind the scenes video explaining how you find/book these flights and how you determine your budget for these experiences? Thanks

    A great vlog as usual, Jeb, but - WOW! - the food looked abysmal for an inaugural flight in Polaris class heading to the Middle East. Even though United is US based, how difficult would it have been to spice the chicken or swordfish with traditional Middle Eastern spices and had hummus and pita bread for a side dish? The description of the dishes sound like what you would get from some mid range restaurant in any large city in the US except for, maybe, the Khatta (but you can find that in any foodie city like NYC).
    I am glad you got to Petra. That is on my bucket list.
