Last year, United just started putting leather seat covers on the 757-200 older seats. It would be really interesting if they did the same thing on these Continental 777-200, although we know that it's not happening with these older seats.
Hello, your comment, and question, were interesting. My answer is very simple: I am Flemish or in other words, Ik ben Vlaams. Maar nu leef in de USA, Florida actually. Lived in Manhattan for about 30 years and then retired to Bradenton. Your videos, both ways with SN and UA were informative, well done but would have liked some more interaction with the crew, or at least your idea of them and their performance. Thanks, Philippe
That contrast between the wall and the window at 4:12... LOVE IT! Unfortunately, the COs will get retrofitted along with the UAs, the ones that really need the retrofit. I hope that they don't swap out the sidewalls, because Continental had very great color choices that aged very well, unlike PMUA. The new interiors on 77ws and some 763s are too white, cheap looking, and generic
Nice video! This flight seems so short compared to the 13 hours to China that I usually take! Nice trip report, can't wait to make my next trip report to Beijing! Anyway, keep up the good work! This is awesome!
+Above_aviation.vids Thank you very much! The longest flight I have ever been on was too Japan from London but that was a long time ago... Are you from China?
+Tripaholic haha no! I am from the USA. I'm from Raleigh North Carolina but I am in the process of moving to Dallas, Texas. My family owns a business and we have factories and suppliers across China so I travel with them from time to time. I have been to many countries across Asia at my own leisure and the flights from the USA are anywhere from 12-16 hours. I have a few flight reports on my channel if you want to check them out! I have always wanted to travel to Europe though... I have proposed some ideas for the near future so, one day!
+Above_aviation.vids Oh okay😅 I am also from the US, i'm from Minneapolis but I live in Brussels. Would love to go to Asia more often, have only been to India and Japan but my Japan trip was a long time ago so I do not really remember... Will be sure to check out tour reports too :D
+Tripaholic thank you! Japan is nice but I have to say I like the Chinese cities more, India however, that's cool! India is so 3rd world it's kind of cool to check out I remember I was there back 5 years ago and I liked it very much! I would definitely recommend Singapore. It's the cleanest and safest City and Country in the world! It's amazing, probably my favorite city ever!
The food seems to have improved. Before lettuce. Now a decent salad like Air Canada. Before crummy deserts like a cheap sugary brownie. Also nothing with drink; now cheese. I like Economy Premium; very reasonable. Was this before the Brussels attacks?
Delta and United have always left me hungry after meals. Very small portions. Cabins look really old and uncomfortable, especially when you're coming from a middle eastern carrier.
Love this video, also funny how you don't show your face... lol. like the concept. instead of blah blah you let us viewers experience and judge for ourselves.
+Rachel Corroon Thanks! And on this flight the food was mediocre, I mean it was chicken and it wasn't that bad but i should have gotten the pasta... But on most UA flights the food is alright
+Jess Jess if you are star alliance gold or are in business class (intl only) then you get in, if not you have to pay... But if you have the opportunity to go to another lounge (like Lufthansa) I would say go there. United clubs are never really that nice and not worth how much money they make you pay to get in. You basically pay 50$ to get wifi, yogurt pretzels and cheese and crackers...
hi im curious im going on united airlines 767-300 can I ask will headphones be provided on economy plus and will there be screens also I'm going new york and are the seats comfortable
+Youvid gamer22 Well, I can assure you there will be headphones provided and especially in eco plus... There are screens but they are quite small and have 9 channels that run the same movie in a loop, the seats are comfy though. Now that you will get in a United 767-300 three class, if you are taking the new ordered by continental before the merger 767-300 you will have on demand tv, headphones, and the seat will be much more comfortable with extra leg room. If you could check if you are taking a three class 767-30 or a two class 767-300 I can tell you more about the aircraft you are taking.
Nice report! I have a question. Looking to book a flight on this same plane in Row 20. Seatguru chart showa "Misaligned window" in row 19 that I can see in your report, but it also say "no window" in row 21, but looking at your video it looks like a window. www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Airlines_Boeing_777-200_6.php Just wondering if you were near row 20, I just want to make sure there is window, I love the scenery 35,000 ft up! Thanks
+key West SUNSET Well the thing is that United has 2 configurations of its 777, It has the Continental version ( the one in this report ) and the United configurations ( Most common ) So it is possible that the seats are in different places than my flight. If you can tell me which configuration of aircraft you are taking I may be able to help you... Thanks for the question ;)
This is the seaating chart of the plane that is scheduled to be used. It says it's a 777-200 V3. I'm not sure based if there is anyway to know if it's a United from day one or a refurbished Continental. www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/inflight/aircraft/777/200/default.aspx Appreciate the help! Thanks
Hi I am leaving on 21 st belfast N ireland and upgraded to economy plus is it worth it? all isee u you really get is extra leg room also I got Premier Access any good??lol
+crazycatlady0208 ! Actually, most planes now have United wifi and you can use it for free when you use the private screening... For browsing you need to pay
+SuperDraco1000 yes surprisingly I've travelled many times. But when I go to US I fly with Qantas. I just wanted to know because my friend was flying UNITED between Aus and LA and was going to let him know what service he was going to expect! So please don't assume because that makes an Ass out of u and me!
+Tripaholic i never said that. What I was doing was comparing UA's service to QF's service so I can tell my friend what to expect! Sorry for the hassle to your account. I look forward to your future trip reports! :)
Okay I thought so because when I depart the US, I usually depart from Newark. I was like " If this guy departs from Newark he is going to be my friend" 😂
this is how American Airlines takes very good care of their customers . if American Airlines keep taking care of their passengers like this they will loose their all customers
let's have no more argument about this.. If you pay minimum price for an Economy seat, you will be uncomfortable if you're too tall or too heavy.. I don't want to see anymore stories about heavy people complaining about getting bumped off flights because they don't fit in the seats.. You know you'll need more room, and you should know you'll have to pay for it..
I was just on a flight and United Airlines changed my assigned paid seat and put me in another seat which is wrong since they did not ask me if that is ok or not. I have a medical condition with my left arm and they placed me next to someone who kept hitting my arm. What really bothers me is that when I purchased the tickets I explained that I have a tumor in my arm and that I have nerve damage and is having surgery in a few weeks and that I am not allow to raise my arms up even thru sercurity due to the fact my arm will snap,pop,click and will have uncontrollable movements . I brought medical records with me to show sercurity the doctors notes and xrays reports. Also I beleive When a flyer purchases a ticket in front of the plane don't push their seats back .Have some respect for your customers. If other customers want to sit next to family,or are overweight pay for your seat at time you booked the tickets but leave the others customers seats alone. I will not choose United Airlines again if they can't fix this problem. Sorry for that but my medical condition and comfort is more important than a lower fare ticket.
Don't forget that the screens in the plains often don't work well and luggage is often lost (like mine in the last flight) and customer service is lousy and inattentive. Cheap airline!
+ASI SHNABEL Just depends where you are flying and when (btw I have never had trouble with the screens) and anyway they are better than Delta and AA at least
bad. no full breakfast. on youtube I saw a CEO of one American Airlines career was saying that they take good care. I love all american airlines but they need to improve the service.
This American Airlines CEO should fly european airlines, asian airlines and gulf airlines and come up with idea out side of the box. This day and age everything is about competition.
Nothing new here. Like always this is a video report of the usual substandard American air carrier......or more to the point "flying hell".........but we Americans are used to crap! The only new thing I really saw was that the ice cream if you will call it that was a cheap knock off of the real thing that you find on non American air carriers. You know there was a time when we had the best.......now we settle for the worst all in the name of profit!
Last year, United just started putting leather seat covers on the 757-200 older seats. It would be really interesting if they did the same thing on these Continental 777-200, although we know that it's not happening with these older seats.

What an excellent video. Very nice clip montage while walking through the jetway!

I flew this plane from Newark to Bombay 2 years ago, and I think I sat in the same seat as you
I'm flying from Chicago to Honolulu today on a B777-200, so I'll be making a trip report as well
+ChicagoRailfan427 Nice, I'll be sure to check that out ;)
+Tripaholic Sounds good!
Loved it, thanks for sharing the CO goodness!
thats why i really love the 777
and i took 777-300er last month
+Hans Grant Me too, the 777 is my favorite aircraft...
The views during climb are amazing! :D
+Alex Kay Yeah, the views out of NYC are always amazing and especially at night ;)
Really enjoyed the video!!!
+DiggNitty Glad you enjoyed it ;)
That's very nice
The ex-Continental 777s are equipped with GE90 engines whereas the United ones are fitted with PWs. I prefer the GE90 which is also more powerful.
Zsolt Monostori only on the ER and LR versions
Moi aussi j'suis francophone! Merci pour la video :)
+MaxidSeventy65 :)
Oh ! Du francophone ! Ça change :)
Je découvre ta chaîne ... Vraiment sympa !
+Olivier Guillemin Merci beaucoup! ;)
Great United flight.Would travel to Narita Airport in Japan.

Was this before the Brussels attacks?
+Semsem Eini Yeah, I took this flight on the 4th of jan, but I am still planning to fly out of BRU in may and also go to the US in the summer...
Slight Correction the CO 777s are -224ERs but other then that great report!
+Jose R Thanks ;)
Delta and United have always left me hungry after meals. Very small portions. Cabins look really old and uncomfortable, especially when you're coming from a middle eastern carrier.
Love this video, also funny how you don't show your face... lol. like the concept. instead of blah blah you let us viewers experience and judge for ourselves.
nice video, thanks for sharing.
HD 720p60 is awesome!
+gino037 If you have a computer you can also watch it at 1080p60fps :)
Night flights are the best
+TheAirplaneDude They really are ;)
great trip report whats the name of the soundtrack played
+tejus kumar ruclips.net/video/AWEK-7SqJec/видео.html
All that food in the lounge is that all free or do you have to pay for it
Sorry, just one other question, what specifically was there in the snack bar?
+Tripaholic thanks
very nice video. i love the music
+Lorenzo Tortelli Thanks :) Do you want the music?
+Tripaholic oh, yes
+Lorenzo Tortelli ruclips.net/video/AWEK-7SqJec/видео.html
+Tripaholic thank you so much
2:40 really nice cabin face opalm
United needs to add free liquor in Y to compete with Ssiss Air and LH
Nice
+Cyril Uebbing thank you :)
Belge !
calm yer spam
Is the food any good do you know ?? Great video :)
+Rachel Corroon Thanks! And on this flight the food was mediocre, I mean it was chicken and it wasn't that bad but i should have gotten the pasta... But on most UA flights the food is alright
N##007 it looks like. Circa-1999 B777-224ER.
How is it pitch-dark at 7:30 am
United club is for anyone who goes in United airlines? Or you have to pay to get in ?
+Jess Jess if you are star alliance gold or are in business class (intl only) then you get in, if not you have to pay... But if you have the opportunity to go to another lounge (like Lufthansa) I would say go there. United clubs are never really that nice and not worth how much money they make you pay to get in. You basically pay 50$ to get wifi, yogurt pretzels and cheese and crackers...
Delta gives economy ,eye masks, ear plugs, earbuds, a blanket, a pillow, and even slippers!!!! And also; there IFE system is much better.
hi im curious im going on united airlines 767-300 can I ask will headphones be provided on economy plus and will there be screens also I'm going new york and are the seats comfortable

Like when you wanted something to eat and/or inbetween the meal services?
+Aviationeverything_ Yeah the snack bar is free throughout the flight
Nice report! I have a question. Looking to book a flight on this same plane in Row 20. Seatguru chart showa "Misaligned window" in row 19 that I can see in your report, but it also say "no window" in row 21, but looking at your video it looks like a window.
www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Airlines_Boeing_777-200_6.php

V3 is third tab over
What if didn’t have TVs I would be so pissed 😡😤
is United a good airline to fly overseas to Frankfort or London thanks Ryan
+Ryan Belden Well, normally you should have no problem flying trans-atlantic...
So I do recommend them ;)
NO!!!
Hi I am leaving on 21 st belfast N ireland and upgraded to economy plus is it worth it? all isee u you really get is extra leg room also I got Premier Access any good??lol
ever notice how quiet it is on a plane tho when I always come back from ireland screaming kids...lol always behind me....lol
+Michelle French Yeah, premier access and better legroom is basically what you get with ecoplus
Question. How much do you have to pay to watch shows like friends?
+crazycatlady0208 ! It does not cost money to watch tv on United, it is 100% free... Only on domestic routes with the 737 does it cost money
+Tripaholic what is domestic ?
national flights ( flights only in a country, never leaving that country)
+Tripaholic ugh. I'm going from Charlotte North Carolina to Alaska so I'll have to pay I guess. Bummer
+crazycatlady0208 ! Actually, most planes now have United wifi and you can use it for free when you use the private screening... For browsing you need to pay
just subscribed
+Moamen Salah Thanks a lot!! Really helps out my channel ;)
Great video song name?
Michael DaCosta darude- Sandstorm
10:10 this is how i look like lol
Was food free throughout the flight?
+Aviationeverything_ Yes, I cannot imagine an airline not having free service on long haul flights
I don't think he's been on a plane before
+SuperDraco1000 yes surprisingly I've travelled many times. But when I go to US I fly with Qantas. I just wanted to know because my friend was flying UNITED between Aus and LA and was going to let him know what service he was going to expect! So please don't assume because that makes an Ass out of u and me!
Aviationeverything_ Just know, no airline would not serve food on an international flight... Ever.
+Tripaholic i never said that. What I was doing was comparing UA's service to QF's service so I can tell my friend what to expect! Sorry for the hassle to your account.
I look forward to your future trip reports! :)
Why did he say thanks dude
français 💙💙💙
Small breakfast > disappointing
i subbed to you :)
+GeminiJets24 Thanks a lot man!!👌👌
Tripaholic you're welcome
Which airport did you depart from?
Newark
Okay I thought so because when I depart the US, I usually depart from Newark. I was like " If this guy departs from Newark he is going to be my friend" 😂
Continental 777 is better because it has a bigger ife screen
And CO made really nice theming with the blue everywhere, unlike those PMUA aircraft where the walls look like people blow cigarette smoke on them
this is how American Airlines takes very good care of their customers . if American Airlines keep taking care of their passengers like this they will loose their all customers

This American Airlines CEO should fly european airlines, asian airlines and gulf airlines and come up with idea out side of the box. This day and age everything is about competition.
Compared to budget airlines like Norwegian that cabin is awful.
Nothing new here. Like always this is a video report of the usual substandard American air carrier......or more to the point "flying hell".........but we Americans are used to crap!

LOL. You sound very bitter, Jay. So much despair in your comment, Jr.
All two gather i think Delta is better than you United and American
Air France is better
