Loving these flight reports, so fun to watch!
Great video! Love the untied 777-200 is the new cabin seat on the number 10 seats on expectations! Great work!
Great review! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Great intro!!! (And whole thing for that matter). I am also stoked that they sell Geminijets at the airport.
Amazing Trip Report...love it!!❤️👍🏻
United Airlines should at least include complimentary meals and build in personal IFE systems on longer domestic flights though. Especially the fact that the flight duration to Honolulu is really long.
Anyways, I really enjoyed the informative review and interesting footages. Thumbs up! :)
I agree. Thanks! They really need IFE on the Hawaii 777's as well as free meals in economy. It's just dumb why they don't have it in economy and they do in business.
TheRealBlackSlime Asian Full-cost carriers do serve at least a meal in Economy Class for Domestic, short-haul and Regional routes. I wonder why US carriers don't
Once when I left cancun there was person IFE
On the connection flight new wake to San Franciscan you get served lunch in economy then you fly San Francisco to Honolulu
An awesome flight report - Thanks!
Very unfortunate that there is no personal IFE. That should be standard for 5+ hours. Coming from my experience, they use this same variant of the UA 777 between Chicago and Munich. Nice video!
Thumbs UP, Mate!! I am very positive surprised regarding the cabin-interior onboard N781UA. Finally on of a very clean and refurbished aircraft in the giant UA fleet.
Outstanding trip report! Very in depth of the new interior, which looks nice! Huge like from me!
Fabulous trip report! I like how the trip report is in 60 frames per second. Those new seats look amazing!
Thank you! The seats are great but the fact that there is no seatback IFE is awful!
Love you channel! From Chicago.
I appreciate that very much!!
The littl video at the beginning was awesome
Very cool trip report and like you said you had the same seat (42A) like I did and it was cool to see N214UA in your video that I flew on. The seats were way better on your flight, 214 had the old economy seats but I did enjoy the 2-5-2 layout, advantage window seat!
Great Vid!!!
Amazing video!!!!!!
Nice video, mate!
Because of the open air, Honolulu should be the best airport in north america
Holy shit... This is a desaster in service qualitiy, in my oppinion. No IFE, no food service.... what the hell are you supposed to do on a 7 hours flight?! :D I would probably never book an economy flight with UA to Honolulu :D Great report and thumbs up for those information :)
Thanks man, yeah United is very behind in terms of service to/from Hawaii as only the Tokyo and Newark flights are operated on planes with IFE. American and Delta have full service on their Hawaii flights with IFE and meals, actually AA's Phoenix flight and one of the Dallas flights don't have IFE since they're flown on the 757 and 767 respectively.
@@ASAviation Is it illegal to not serve complimentary meals in economy class on this 9 hour flight between Honolulu and Chicago?
Awesome video mate!!
Thanks!
OMG. I’m sitting here on my lanai looking out at HNL and I’m tracking a UA B772 en route to ORD. So I wanted to see what UA’s f/c service was like now on their 777’s, I find your video and see the reg#. So I go to my Flightradar24 and BAM! There it is! Exact same a/c featured in this video. Thanks for the post!
great video!
jeese that is fast
Which stores did u find the models, I can never seen to find them at airports
6:02 First time seeing a 777 without a screen on the back of the seat
That's the same captain and plane we had on our trip back from Honolulu last year! It was his last flight before retirement.
Great job, Bhai! Subbed!
Early Departing is rare for United lol
The bathrooms were cleaner because as you said the plane was empty.
777s should be king of the skys
Wow, I never realised how open the Honolulu Airport is. I wish they that here in Lansing, but imagine walking down the hallway during a cold Michigan winter. Brr.
And the ma man strikes again with an amazing trip report. Hell of a good job you did there. Love it!
Thanks so much Ali!
I like your video, but I think it is horrible that an airline that calls itself a full service carrier can't even provide a hot meal to passengers on such a long flight. Only a US carrier would dare do something like this. I think this kind of service is embarrassing. They did however, manage to cram even more seats into that 777. I enjoyed your video, but United's long-haul service is disappointing.
Thanks. All US airlines do this stuff. United is the only airline I know of that doesn't give free meals in economy on the Hawaii flights. I'm not sure about American and Delta, but I'm sure that all 3 of them only give out snacks. I mean, Emirates and Qatar Airways flights from Doha to Dubai are only around an hour or something, and meal boxes are given on every flight!
Delta does two meal services, complimentary. And we won't cram that many seats into our aircraft...
Really? From ATL-HNL, SLC-HNL, DTW-HNL, and MSP-HNL? That's pretty impressive! And I know they have seatback IFE on their A333's too!
A.S. Aviation & Rail Productions yes! Starting late 2016 they brought back meals
Wow. If AA and DL both provide meals, then United really needs to step up their game on these Hawaii flights.
No IFE on a 7+ hour flight ??? No wonder people prefer European or Asian carriers.
I WOULD DIE ON THAT THING a 7 hour flight!!!! What if u have no device or it broke on vacation what are u gonna for 7 hours sleeping is hard on a plane in ECONOMY
The new seats are horrible! It's hard, narrower, and they put the light and flight attendant call button on the seat so it goes off accidentally when you rest your arms on it. It's so bad that the flight attendants have to make an announcement before the flight takes off to warn passengers of accidentally pushing these buttons. no built-in screens. It's embarrassing compared to other carriers (domestic and international). The only reason why i fly United is they have a lot of flight in/out of HNL and i have a lot of miles (that i need to use up).
6:02 In June 2019, I flew one of the United 777-200s without the IFEs on the back from HKG to SFO, the trip was 14 hours and 15 minutes long. It was so boring without the screens on the back.
I agree Isaac a personal IFE is a must on long flights
It definitely is. United should have at least left the bulkhead screens like you see on other carriers but there is a complete absence of screens on the domestic 777's economy class.
The 767-400 flies Honolulu to Newark and back it’s ten hrs bc I’ve been on it twice
6:02 But in March 2022, I've flown another United 777-200 from SFO to HNL, this time is very lucky for me because they have IFEs and I am seated in Premium Plus.
On June 9th this year and last year I flew to Hawaii through newwark on the ten hr flight
NIce video. I agreed that theres no meal service at UA and Hawaiian Airlines. I flew 9.5hr to VA from HI, the basic economy meal service, they charge it for small box meal, it wasn't great but horrible food. Recommend to eat something heavy before boarding and bring own meals after security gate. I saw a young lady bring 2 bbq burger king and ate in the boarding flight, I could smell the hamburger's bbq sauce. I told her it smell so good, I asked her why 2 big burgers? she said it helps her to relax and easy to sleep.
Hawaiian serves complimentary meals on all flights to/from the mainland in all classes.
George L meal? All I got was a sandwich
No IFE on a 777 ?? That's weird and even rude what a poor service
New sub here, I like your editing style
Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! I changed my style a little since then, have a look at some of my more recent trip reports if you're interested :D
UA has 10 across 777 seating on the new 77W and on the Hawaii fleet. The rest is 9 across in a 3-3-3 configuration. The 77W does have seatback screens, while the Hawaii fleet doesn't. If Trump doesn't extend the electronics ban even further, not having seatback screens isn't really a problem as these planes have wifi and in seat power. You need both of those to have good IFE without the need for seatback screens, as long as they clearly announce that one needs to have the UA app for it to work. I like the new device holder and I hope that it's possible to add it to other aircraft with those seats. I like that you can watch United movies on your phone. Its pretty neat to be able to watch long movies on short haul flights, but you probs won't finish them. Yeah, I am a UAL fanboy but im honest. :3333
-Collin Parsons, last part by me. :3
veru interesting video, i really like it, i´ve just suscribed to your channel
I was in Houston texas this time lolz but my mom and family were at the airport in hawaii
I wish United bought at least one 747-8i. My very first trip to Hawaii was on a United 747.
Yeah I agree it would be nice.
When my mom and I return home from Honolulu, we will depart HNL for ORD in the late afternoon on February the twenty fourth and we will arrive there early in the morning on twenty fourth. We will also depart ORD for EVV in the morning.
nice video! what program do you use for editing?
Thanks! I use iMovie on the computer.
I really do enjoy watching your video! I must say that I am a bit shocked that there's no any IFE on the back of the seats in the aircraft, especially on a long-hour domestic flight like this. As I do agree with many other people who had also complained about this issue, I too think it is horrible to not have a build-in personal IFE systems and also a free complimentary meals. I'm actually gonna fly to Hawaii really soon via United (basically on the same flight as yours) so I'm hoping I could see some improvements on the IFE and also the meals. But I guess it won't be possible. Don't know yet. But other than that, I did enjoy watching your video! Thanks for uploading this video and keep up the good work!
-Josh
P.S. I'm also from Chicago too lol, since I realized that you said, "Happy to be back home!", or something like that, at the end of this video! That's cool.
Haha thanks for the comment man! Yeah it sucks that UA doesn't put IFE in their domestic 777's, when Delta flies new A330's with IFE and even though American flies their 767's that don't have seatback IFE, they are getting retrofitted soon I believe. Sadly UA won't put any IFE in the domestic 777s any time soon.
So what you're saying is that they passed out pretzels and juice and then nothing except juice prior to landing. Is this correct? They usually always have those boxes of tapas etc.
Yeah there was just the pretzels and drinks, nothing else. I think you had the option of buying the boxes of tapas and stuff. But the only free stuff was the pretzels and drinks.
Hi everyone does anybody knows if I can go to Hawaii from Chicago with just us driver license or do I need a us passport? I dont know if you go thru customs or not since you are entering the us on the way back from Hawaii. Thanks in advance
Awesome video dude! I guess they didn't have IFE bc of the small load factor lol
Thanks! The reason they don't have IFE is because these 777's will be the first to be retired if UA ever gets to that point. Plus the domestic 777's were one of the first 777's ever made back in 1996-98. Small load factor has nothing to do with it.
AS Aviation they DO have IFE. It is stream to your own device IFE. Please learn the terms BEFORE using them. What they don’t have are PTVs.
☺☺☺
i have same experienced before but using old 1996 built A330 garuda indonesia 360 passengers all economy and no IFE however completely fine since it is only 1 hour domestic flight and feel difference but yeah i would complain if it is international flight the price i paid almost double others airlines' price, at least i got drink selections and 2 breads lol, good video btw
Thanks, yeah Asian carriers really do great with offering food and drink on short flights...US carriers need to follow.
so what kind of food do they serve on this flight then because i heard you do get meals to hawaii
You don't get any food, just drinks and a snack.
oh because im going to hawaii and it said on our ticket meal purchase and such
are 777s the only type of planes that go to hawaii nonstop?
Nice video! I’m quite surprised that UA would charge for food on such a long flight, even if it’s domestic. The device holder in the back is cool, though.
American airlines 777s from dfw to hnl are not seasonal the 767s are flown from phoenix
How much did you pay for the two aircraft models? they are nice!
They were pretty overpriced, $50 for the 757 and around $45 for the A330.
yes the saddest sight in the world saying Aloha to Honolulu...but glad your landing in Chicago was better than mine. The scariest and roughest ever ..you know its a bad landing when the FA's screamed.
that Iceland air is super rare
At least u got a window seat this time. For me a flight is not enjoyable without a window seat.
I worry about taking food on the plane as I don't want cold hot food or warm cold food. Continental used to serve some really good meals on Hawaii flights.
Daniel Clooney you actually worry about that?
There's a reason why they call that configuration the Cattle Car Config for United. No IFE and No Food means you're going to have a bad day. Hard pass for me.
I live in Hawaii and it sucks the airport is too small
Did you feel cramped sitting in a window seat? I am going to HNL and picking a seat in the back on the 2 side of the aircraft.
The seats in the back of the plane I heard are the best legroom ones, I didn't feel cramped at all where I was sitting.
Idk why United has no free meals in economy on flights to Hawaii. I think United should start offering free meals in economy on all flights over 6 hours.
So how many people were on the flight
And nothing better than leaving in shorts and a t shirt, and landing in snow
aloha did u see me waving at you from the beach by Kapiolani Park where I swim 4 or 5 days a week?
Seriously HNL is so dumpy and worn. bad carpet, escalators not running, and the grass/weeds growing from cracks in the curbs lol
Like the club lounges are run by ABC stores or something.. well the good part is ya get to be in Honolulu!
Here's an interesting coincidence: my friend Miles (ChicagoRailfan427 on RUclips) was on the return flight to Honolulu. Any chance you saw him in the seating area once you got to ORD? Pretty sure he had an Amtrak Phase I hat.
Yeah I know Miles was on the flight. But I came back on December 24th. He left for Honolulu from ORD on the same exact plane later in the day. So I didn't see him unfortunately.
Oh, ok.
Amazing trip report man 👍 it's rather surprising that United don't have free meals on a 7+hours flight , that way Pakistani airlines are way Better atleast you get a meal even on a 1 hour flight 😂
Thanks. It really is dumb that on long flights from the US mainland to Hawaii, that United doesn't offer IFE screens or free meals in economy. It's only because it's a domestic flight that they don't offer the services they would on a 6+ hour international flight from ORD to London.
I get so angry when I see no hot meal even though I know they don't do it anymore. The gov should require airlines to provide hot meal on a flight over seas. Question: How did the tuna taste after sitting so long? Also, did they even offer coffee and a muffin prior to landing?
The tuna was fine, just a little dry. There was nothing offered prior to landing though.
Awesome video man! I would just suggest keeping it under 15 minutes so the audience doesn't really loose interest. I found my self letting my eyes wander off and focus on other things, like my Doggo.
Thanks. There was a lot to cover in this flight such as the new interior so that's why it was a little longer. I will try to keep future reports under 15 min. I'll have hopefully 4 new trip reports coming in a few months so I'll definitely pay attention to the duration!
My doggo 😂👏🏻
You can buy Gemini Jets in HNL? Great video by the way
Yep! There's a shop called FlightDeck Business center which sells models.
AS Aviation awesome!
No I hates Gemini jets it get broken my favorite is K500 toy biplane
How much were the meals?
Not sure, somewhere between $5-10, but you can search it up online.
Fantastic trip report, but man, that airport is so dated. It looks like a relic from the 60s.
I love United for getting around the continental US, but I would never fly them long haul. There are so many better choices. No complimentary meals on an 8 hour flight? That’s criminal.
jr132 None on the 11 hour flight to EWR either.
Wait there is an airplane shop in HNL
Yep it's called FlightDeck Business Center
Me too I loved airplane shop is look like Kidzoo had K500 toy biplane name Madeline island Sunline Sun Heartie are toy biplanes
AN EMPTY FLIGHT TO CHICAGO?! WHAT ?! NO FREAKING WAY! ESPECIALLY ON A 777!
If I didn't see this video I wouldn't have believed it either.
In economy it is like in first class
Never heard of a 222 before....
That's United's customer code for Boeing, _22. The plane is a 777-200, but because it's delivered to UA it's a 777-222. However the 777's that United got from Continental are 777-224's because Continental's customer code was _24.
good trip Report but where is the meal service????? I mean on such a long flight no complimentary meal????? I will not fly the friendly skies..they are the cheap skies. plus they are scrapping their international first class completly....United is a shadow of their once glory. ..but then again thank you for posting this experience..
Well in China they do serve inflight meals in domestic economy, it's the ones that the international American carriers give. The US is kinda a bit behind with this, but otherwise they have BOB food
Delta serves inflight meals on longer flights to hawaii
Philip Hu they make no profit in China.
Thank you for your review video
I decided NOT TO FLY WITH UNITED on their domestic flight, what a terrible service and can’t believe how they treat their customers like that
4:40 NISSAN? ;)
Gate B17 the Normal Hawaii Gate
STILL...NO...EFFING...BUILT IN IFE???
KRDU Spotting not “still”. They used to have PTVs. The new cabin retrofits are removing them in favor of streaming to your own device.
I flew that exact route on that exact plane that is a great plane I really like it
Do we get meals on board?
Not in economy or economy plus, you have to pay for them.
are we allowed to bring our own food like bread etc then?
Yes.
AS Aviation is there any screen and movie?
Watch the video....
Aye I have the same pin
lukia 10 ayyyyyeee
A.S. Aviation & Rail Productions aaaaayyyyyeeee
Good report but do the "first class" passengers get a meal?
Brian Wilson yes they do!
Honolulu airport is so dated especially the terminal they flew out of. I’ve done it twice.
Cramming 10 seats into a 777, no meal service on such a long flight, and no Screen on the back of the headrests even though it is a new interior this is the cheap skys
Can you take the pillows and blankets with you
I'm pretty sure you can, they usually replace them every flight
Chicago is mush better then Honolulu
Did you see Santa Claus coming in?
Charles Raymond no haha
What a waste,a jumbo w/20 people on board.
A 777 isn’t considered a “jumbo”
I didn't like Chicago is not my favorite it didn't have K500 toy biplane is not there at airport Yes it came broken her propeller of missing propeller blade
Honolulu airport is the worst. it's so outdated
Has a charm to it. Plus open air terminals are great. The worst? Give me a break
Really interesting... N781UA used to be a 777-222 that operated European flights. I had family members that flew this exact bird to Europe but I guess it got the new Hawaii config. Great video, I've wanted to see what the new Hawaii config looks like. I really think for Hawaii flights should get atleast a light meal service.
cmaviation yes. All of the United 777's used to have the 2-5-2 layout I'm pretty sure. Still nowadays a Hawaii bird will probably do a flight from ORD to Frankfurt or Brussels.
Yeah when one of my family members did it, it was in the 3-3-3 config with first,business and coach. Cool though
UA planned to convert all the 2-5-2 777's to 3-4-3 and also transfer some of the international fleet to domestic routes due to the 789 and 77W taking over on some international routes, so either they're expanding Hawaii service, using them on domestic trunk routes (like EWR-ORD) or both.
I did some research awhile back and as you mentioned UA did convert the rest of the non ER type 772 to the Domestic Configuration. Looks like they are expanding routes with these birds
NO IFE!?
Jespemirates Aviation You download the app on your phone or tablet or computer and all movies and TV are Free and the app is free too
Jespemirates Aviation They removed IFE because they didn’t have enough selections for people to watch, so they added the new ‘United Private Screening’, which gives you a better variety of TV shows and movies. It’s way easier and it’s free because the United app is free. You used to pay for the IFE for entertainment. In my opinion, the Private Screening is better than IFE. The only bad thing is that you need WiFi.
Pilot Ready no. IFE is still there, but now it streams to your device and it was NOT because of a lack of programming... you still have the sane programming bring streamed now. What they had taken out were the PTVs. Those TV screens and the entertainment boxes are heavy when you consider how many seats there are. People nowadays like to watch on their own phones, tablets and laptops anyway. They have lots of charge ports.
