Is it just me or did Patrick look like a rapper when he was standing and talking about the Temu discount😄😂
Vanilla Ice
Ditto. Thought I was the only one 😂
Ha! 😂 call me lil playne
What does a rapper look like?
@@PatrickSheaAviation haha…that’s a good one🤣🤣🎤🎤
This 777 is older than you Patrick! LOL 🙂 The old gal is still gettin' it done.
Ha love it!
I remember when those 777s were brand new.
Looking good as usual. Patrick😊
That 1/2 way to Hawaii game was perfect!
This is your last chance to go “back in time,” and see what old United was like. Admittedly not the best showing with those seats, but I love flying them because it reminds me of a time where United had a REAL first class and what was called “Connoisseur Class”! What a joy it woulda been to be a businessman in connoisseur sipping on champagne reading a physical newspaper.
I flew connoisseur class from Dulles to London and it was more than enought. It wasn't fully flat but it had 2-3-2 on a 777 so there was plenty of room. There was a big recline and a ton of leg room with a leg rest.
@@canyonoverlook9937 back before IFE’s and lay flat seats. That was the pinnacle of flying then. Thanks for sharing! Hopefully the food was better than it is now 😂
You’ve got a good point. Every once in a while, a little throwback to the older days of aviation is fun!
I Flew that cabin on my first ever business class/first class flight, and I loved it. The seats were comfortable, the food was great, and the flight attendants were awsome.
I was just as flabbergasted when I flew United's 1st from IAD to DEN in one these retro 777s. It was actually kinda cool.
It is kind cool, every once in a while at least
@@PatrickSheaAviation yeah. It's just not something you see every day, which is the cool part about it. Not sure that I'd love to be in the middle seat, Even if it's 1st on a transcon or transatlantic flight!😂😂😂
Very nice video trip report. I like temu too. United Airlines wonderful.
On my first trip to Hawaii what impressed me the most was the warm air,laying on the beach, and the warm water swimming............then looking up and seeing Diamond Head....then you know you are in Hawaii....good review...to bad your seat partner missed a chance to be on Ytube..he could have been famous back home.......✈✈
Ha! True! And yea those hawaii trips are a blast, although I gotta say that Kauai has long been my favorite island (not that any are bad tbf)
Awesome video Patrick! Brings back memories of my childhood when my dad was an A&P mechanic for United… we used to go to the mainland in the days of the DC-8, 747-100 and DC-10’s. Great memories and awesome you won the halfway contest! I won it with my dad one time years ago and if memory serves me, I think it was on a DC-8!!!
That is awesome!
Brought back memories for me too and my dad worked for United also!🛫
Patrick, I just wanna say I really love your channel. I discovered about 3 months ago and have watched many of your videos. I enjoy your reviews and the only critique I’d have is you go into a little too much detail at times. I have flown this United business class configuration once from Newark to Los Angeles. Did my own review on that one too. Anyway, congrats on a successful channel. Cheers from Lake Tahoe!
Thanks man! I appreciate it! Cheers from the bay!
I flew this 1st class config between IAH/SFO. Some were complaining about it, but I was happy to be there as the other option is mainly just the regular small-body 737, basically! I was grateful to have a lie-flat option. As you know, the plastic cups are required before takeoff- You will get glass later on lol! Great vid as always Patrick, and I’ve been watching since about 1k subs!
That's not a bad price for that seat. Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks! I agree!
COOL travel vlog!!! I flew United business class from Hawaii to SFO once it was GREAT!!!!
That’s awesome! It’s a great way to get to Hawaii for sure
This united 777 is interesting, most 777 with domestic configuration is the oldest 777 entered to service in mid-late 90s, and it’s been retrofitted with this seats
Also it’s like an old school style of untied, the IFE available only in first class like 747-400
The 90’s called, they want their plane back 😅.
Haha! 🤣🤣
Me being someone whos only been on 2 trips in july of 2023 i took a couple flights down to new Orleans on southwest and on my way back we stopped in houston iah and when i saw the massive fleet of united was amazing
I’ve flown this configuration between GRU-EWR in 2015, my first time in a business class and still have a amenity kit from that flight, great video Patrick
Cool! Fortunately all routes have Polaris by now except the handful of Hawaii flights
Thank you sharing this video of the 777 going over to Hawaii.😊 Yes, out of Los Angeles the trips to Hawaii are nice. I am glad you went in to the United Club early in morning before the crowd came in. I see the configuration here has backwards seats. Well, the 777 cabin configuration that I flew on is before this configuration. The were the 34 older cabin sests in First/Business Class and they were all seated forward.😊
Cool!! You made me laugh!😅 You won the prize!! That was nice!! You had a good view of the engines there even though besides the jump seats, I still like fly forward as a regular passenger. And yes, the Cabin Crews for many of the Hawaii flights are senior in seniority. Many cabin crew members love flying these flights to paradise. With my former airline here, I have flown with very nice senior F/As out of Los Angeles to Hawaii but mostly from my former Chicago Base!😊
Your observation with the reason why the airline wants to still have the slightly older 777s, is for that vacation revenue!!😊 You are right about Hawaii"s paradise place that people want to come their to be on the beach in Honolulu.😊
Sorry!! Ot should be to come "there" on vacation in paradise not their which was close to the end of my three comment. Typing and thinking about what to say are not the same speed. ☺
Great video Patrick !! You even make the sponsor spiel entertaining.
Thanks bro. I appreciate it
Halfway to Hawaii game has been a United thing for decades -- I remember them doing it from the 90s. They were more formal about it as they used to have an actual entry form that FAs gave out with the Hawaii Agricultural Declaration forms. On the high density 772s....United has always had a subfleet of their 772s in this configuration for Hawaii...they were even delivered as new that way (shh...I secretly miss the 2-5-2 coach configuration)
those big Boeing planes are so cool! mighty travel premium is definitely my new favorite for trip planning and reverse airfare searches.
One of the best trip reports I have seen,Thank You,
Thanks!
Dude Hawaii is great!
I flew one of these IAH-HNL and I tied with the only other player of the halfway game so we both won gel pillows. I use it all the time now! Since my 777 had wifi, even without being connected, I was able to see GPS for our location to accurately estimate it based on the flight map and FR24 data.
Cool! Interesting
Patrick coming through like the 49ers offence. Another great review, cheers.
lol I love it. Thanks dude
The seats on here look like a Disney ride with the 2-4-2 some front and rear facing but Hawaii looks good
Great video keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Love this channel. It's one of my favorites and haven't missed a Sunday yet. Just one suggestion. Being from Hawai'i, it's pronounced HO NO, not HA NA lulu. 🙂 Thanks for the great videos!!
Fair enough! Thanks! I appreciate it
Always excellent . Yes , you get what you pay for . For that price I would be thrilled
Thanks! Agreed
gotta love that direct flight to islands, might travel premium is great for flexible dates too.
Totally!
The Temu sponsorship is crazy. Great video as always!
Thanks!
I see these planes a lot out of Dulles. I book my travel way in advance so when I look at a route, let’s say IAD to DEN, it will show only narrow bodies. I look at the same flights only a few weeks away and a lot of times one of them will be switched out to one of these 777’s. I always book that one. They aren’t the best but they beat the hell out of typical domestic first class. PS…..I won the half way to Hawaii out of SFO one time. I got a bottle of pretty darn good champagne. That was probably around the time you were born.😂 Great video as usual.
Definitely better than the other domestic first class products. Although I’m still excited to see Polaris introduced in these later this year. I also don’t know what I’d rather have, the gel pillow or some good champagne!
I've actually flown them all on these routes except United. My favorite was Alaska.
- Red
Congrats on your win!
Ha! Thanks!
They also use the 777-200's for hub to hub flights mostly in the mornings. Same configuration and everything
Great video ❤
Thanks!
I just flew in one of these. The seat was good with a lie-flat bed on a 5-hr flight being a good thing!
The rear-facing seats are fun.. millions of people sit that way on trains everyday all over the world as well.
That's so cool...you won a gel pillow!!! ❤❤❤
Totally!
Also won the gel pillow time challenge when traveling to Hawaii last year🙌🏻🙌🏻 glad to see United still has these fun games!
Awesome! It’s the little things that keep trips memorable!
Flush is a great idea! I’ve just been using the closest nice hotel when the need arises 😅
You’re making me want to book my Hawaii flight.
Ah! Do it! Hawaii is always a blast!
How did you get a first class seat to Hawaii for $300 please tell me how you did that?
If you are flexible with the dates, you’ll find a wild range of fares year round, sometimes over $1000. Just keep playing around with it and you may get lucky!
@@PatrickSheaAviation thanks for responding, I meant are you talking about on the airlines website or on other Travel websites?
@@Libertas9 ah… it depends on the flight. This one was through the airline. But it’s 50/50 how I book it
Done that SFO-HNL many times in all classes but nothing beats Polaris! Premium plus is slightly uncomfortable for me and my lower back, economy is doable but not more than 5+ hrs. Haven’t flown since last February so really having withdrawals right about now! Gonna be trying Delta next!
Polaris is definitely the way to go. We aren’t far from an all-Polaris 777 fleet as well
The LAX UC is my favorite of the handful I've been to (which include DCA, IAD terminal C and ORD terminal B). My only issue is that the gate for my flight back to Baltimore was gate 83 or something, so like a 10-minute walk away. Not fun!
Yea…. The 80s are a bit of a hike from this club. The new Denver and Newark clubs may be my favorites at the moment
The content is good and i was gonna subscribe to the channel, but then i saw the sponsor is temu.
Awesome video mate. Btw what happened to ur finger?
Little cooking mishap… lol
The unfortunate 2-4-2 dorm room. Not a fan, but great coverage as usual from Patrick and hope you had some fun time in the islands :)
Yea it’s tough but it’ll be gone soon
I like Temu
Great Channel. Questiin, What Do You Think Is Going To Happen With Spirit And Jetblue Merger?? Thanks
That’s an interesting story to follow. I think we will have to wait and see what JetBlue decides but they’ll need aircraft and slots if they wanna stay for the long haul
Where did you stay in Hawaii?
Do you ever do a tour of your accommodations?
I haven’t in the past. I could go more into that if there was interest. This time I just stayed a block away from Waikiki. Great trip!
@@PatrickSheaAviation while you’re in these beautiful places, might as well generate multiple videos & ad revenues to pay for your adventures & widen your audience & sponsorship potentials.
Ive flown this flight in business and economy multiple times iah-hnl for work. I'd never pay for the business class as its too outdated plus the rear facing seats. I rather sit in the back. I need them to do away with this configuration for the price plus lack of lounge access. Thanks for another great video
Have you done STARLUX yet? Doing it on October.
Oye I’m trying! It looks incredible!
Patrick... I noticed that you had a thumb injury. Make sure you don't let that get infected and take care of yourself
Better than a SWA flight! 😂
Those seats look amazing, way better than economy. Who needs first class!
Fly to Guam in the normal direct flight
Interesting. I'm flying into Honolulu on Polaris Class ticket and out on one of these.
Well I can say you’ll enjoy Polaris for sure! At least you get to fly this product before it’s gone for good soon
Those P&W engines sound so good on takeoff! Better than the GE90s imo.
Bold stance! (As a big GE90 fan)
Only fly with Cincinnati’s Best the GE 90 115B
Great video, Patrick! The footage of the gorgeous Hawaiian coast was amazing. I do wish that US carriers would up their soft product game. It's kind of embarrassing. Sigh. Btw - I've started watching Masters of the Air on AppleTV. It's a follow up to Band of Brothers and The Pacific and is about the American WWII pilots. I'd be curious to know what you think. So grateful to those heroes!
I’ll have to check that show out! As for the soft products, they are improving as we speak. Just looking back a few years you can see major differences
The economy seats have no personal TVs on the domestic 772-nonERs right? I flew IAD-LAX on one of the domestic 772ERs (usually a non-ER, so I got lucky) and got a screen despite being in poor class. It was as good a screen as UA offers aside from maybe their A321s, so I wonder if the screens in first class on the domestic ERs would have been better.
UA is working on putting screens in all their aircraft. I believe the economy class of this plane has screens
@PatrickSheaAviation all the non ER 777HDs don't have screens in economy, and the NEXT program only applies to getting screens on narrowbodies unfortunately
One of the best major airlines out there, which is United Airlines 🤙🏼
Patrick, you are certainly a man that talks with his hands; it's a bit amusing cuz I'm just the opposite and really don't talk with my hands. Not making fun of you, just one of those interesting differences people have. You're a very likeable guy so no worries. Always an excellent video from you. Your seat neighbor should be thankful you're not like Josh Cahill or Noel Phillips who record and talk throughout their flights which I naturally find to be disrespectful and just down right rude/obnoxious. I am very confident you are an extremely polite and considerate vlogger and really says a lot about your character. That French Toast looked rather sad. Can't compare to my homemade French Toast made with Texas toast, vanilla liqueur, Vietnamese cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg and of course a dusting of confectioner's sugar and I also use those white ceramic butter warmers (with a small pitcher like ramekin sitting atop a pedestal holding a tea light candle) for warming the syrup. :-) As always, you do a nice job on your videos. 9.400
I’m flying out of Houston to Honolulu in 2025 with the domestic 777. Hoping for the newer ones with TVs in economy.
I do know they plan to renovate these thing but no clue when that’ll actually be done
20:29, Really? Wow, congrats for getting the United airlines pillow. Hope your pillow is good and comfortable to sleep on the plane, even though it's a 5 and a half hour domestic day time morning flight to Honolulu. On my flight from Houston to Honolulu last March, I think they play games for the passengers for the 1st winner to get the pillow in 1st class, I am not too sure because I am flying in economy class at the very rear end of the plane.
It’s easy to complain about the 2-4-2 configuration as it totally lacks privacy but it is still a very comfortable seat. A middle seat in that cabin is far, far, far better than any coach seat when these planes use to fly long haul from the US to Europe and Asia. 16.5 hours in that seat, even if a middle was great in comparison.
Totally agree!
Where did you get the music at 23:00
It’s all from Epidemic Sound
What was it like to take off and land like backward facing lol
It’s a ton of fun! I always book rearward facing whenever possible… because why not!
Great review mate.👏👏. I don’t know how they can call it first class when really it is premium economy. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks! It’s definitely for the niche vacation markets. At least it’ll be gone soon
I wouldn’t call a lie-flat seat premium economy
$325 for a 1 way flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu on a 5 and a half hour flight is little expensive, but that's okay. When I flew United airlines from Baltimore to Honolulu via Houston last March, it's $250 and it's cheap, considering the 1st leg is a 3 and a half hour and the 2nd leg is a 7 and half hour flight and it's worth the price.
Hawaii or the South Pacific sounds like the perfect niche for that seat. I hated it as an International Business Class seat. The best thing United did was to create Polaris for international travel.
I think the 767-400s have the same interface on the IFE screens… weird given that they’ve been refurbished.
That is weird! I haven’t flown United’s 764s but maybe I’ll have to add that to my list
Thanks so much for the video. This happens to be my least favorite aircraft UA flies, I frequently get this aircraft from IAD-LAX and it's brutal in economy on a 5.5 hour flight. Even with 1K, very rarely if ever get upgraded on that route
That’s unfortunate! Fortunately out of SFO, I get the Polaris configuration much more frequently. Only had this one a couple times, and never gotten my CPU
what happen to you thumb, with the bandage/band aid/plaster
Ha… got a bit too comfortable dicing onions
If Disney ever decides to launch an airline to complement their cruiseline, I imagine that's what the premium cabin would look like, plus a few rodents - hopefully, not live ones 😅 - here and there, as the cabin maximizes profits, and that's what Disney is all about, charging you through the roof for a second rate experience.
Ha! I love the thought!
E komo mai!
Flew United first class on a free ticket Chicago to Honolulu in 2011 on a 777. Completely expect the modern international first class, you have no idea how disappointed I was to find that crappy old style first class cabin on a 10+ hour flight. If I had chosen anywhere in Europe, it would have been real nice.
It always sucks when you end up with a different product. I’ve had that happen a couple times
They also use these out of IAH
Congrats on winning the 1/2 way game. That was impressively close to the actual time.
The backward facing seats must be quite horrible and disorientating during takeoff.
Idk I kinda like the backwards facing seats. Maybe I’m weird but I pick them whenever I can. They’re also theoretically safer if there were ever to be an accident 🤷♂️
I mean sure that could be one logical reason but the probability of an accident in itself is pretty insignificant; although, giving the age of that aircraft, maybe a worthwhile consideration after all lol.
I would personally just find it rather disorientating to be facing the opposite direction you're heading in, especially during take off and landing. @@PatrickSheaAviation
You had a cut on your thumb and have to take care yo...
Another awesome video again...
Is UA going to replace those Domestic First/International Business?
Thanks man! And yea these will be gone sometime soon
They dont fly this configuration on International. Just domestic. They wont replace the interiors on them. They will be retired in a few years since they are UA's oldest
@@johniii8147 Good to experience once and that's all...
Great video Patrick and yes I hate it 😏ok if there’s just the two of you on a window side
Thanks! Agreed
You need to fly lufthansa A340! please!
I did it a few years ago!
again!
Temu sponsorship! now who wouldn't be happy sitting beside you filming things? lol air vents? #check 'the *slightly* tropical pouch' (cause ya doesn't quite scream Hawaii eh) cabin was ok TBH so ya not quite retro chic but retro-there-you-have-it i mean for barely 300 bucks, right? hope you had a nice stay
Too bad you went to the LAX United Club on a rare, cloudy day. The outdoor space has a great view of the Hollywood sign! The parking lot isn’t the star of the show, lol!
That’s awesome! I’ve only been there when it’s IFR or night time unfortunately
Still waiting for a potential Miami -> Honolulu service come on Hawaiian or American give it to us!
That would be a hoot. Although Floridians have their own beaches that they love. People in the middle of the country need their way to escape their snowy winters!
@@PatrickSheaAviation some people would prefer the pacific island feel than a Atlantic peninsula
@@nonstops_aviation fair enough. Would definitely be interesting
@@nonstops_aviationwhat about those Caribbean islands?
@@SurvivorQT maybe people don’t got passports
Ughhh. I flew the SFO- HNL and it was so awful facing backwards.
Interesting. I find it fun and unique sitting backwards on flights
Backfacing seats. Feeling nauseated just thinking about it, as I'm wickedly prone to motion sickness. 😢
That may be tough. I actually think they’re more comfortable.
Well done Patrick I am wondering how are you able to use the United Club remember mileageplus passengers Star Alliance gold can't use them despite having a first class United domestic ticket. My guess you have an Air Canada aeroplan or Singapore Airlines Krisflyer PPS, which would have granted you access to the United Club. Obtain the foreign Star Alliance gold status you would be the only one there flying domestically with lounge access. The old configuration would have a global first in front of it. 14:08 PW4090 takeoff if you are familiar with the East Asian Star Alliance partners the same takeoff is experienced on ANA and Asiana since they use PW4090s like UA B777-222.
My lounge access was just a pre-purchased day pass for this flight
I don't understand United's transparent curtains. Imagine if you're trying to get some sleep in a dark cabin, and you have that glaring light from the galley.
Yea, it’s tough. It has to do with visibility (post 9/11) but still can get frustrating at times
I won a bottle of champagne for the halfway to Hawaii game going home
Ha! That’s awesome!
17:34, Really, the plane that is 29 years old don't have wifi? That's strange. Last March, I flew United airlines, Boeing 777-200 (N215UA, 23 years old) from Houston to Honolulu, they have inflight wifi for a 7 and a half hour medium haul flight, which I able to use the in flight wifi and it work.
Let's be clear, Hawaiin has the best catering to Hawaii.
US Airlines looks to be the pits.
Chucks and shorts!!
Chucks and shorts all day every day
Of course, that is an old plane, but for a 5h domestic flight, it is rather comfortable with a fully flat bed. I mean, in Europe you don't get even recliner seats on 4,5 h hour flights from central Europe to the Canary islands in business class, just standard economy seats with an empty middle seat. So even that 8 seats in a row full flat beds is a huge improvement over European Business Class. I flew from HNL to Chicago 9 years ago in a United B777 and they still had recliner seats in business class on this 4400 miles flight. What I really do not understand is that even on such a long flight you don't get lounge access in the US, why that???
Totally agree that it’s a great seat given the flight, especially at the price point. US lounges have a major over crowding issue, so even without allowing domestic passengers, the lounges are still packed full during busy times of day
United puts all the busted flight attendants on that side of the service
Temu 💀. You forgot to mention the free malware
In Feb. 2020, I had gotten lucky and was able to fly in economy on a United 777-200 (also my first time flying on a wide-body airplane) from SFO to HNL because my original itinerary was from American from BUF-ORD-LAX-HNL, but my flight out of Buffalo was delayed an hour which caused me to miss my connecting flights and instead had me going from BUF-ORD-SFO-HNL and having me fly United to get me to HNL. There was no seat-back entertainment on the 777 and you had to pay to use the WiFi, but you were welcome to go to the back galley and ask for extra food or drinks because the flight was half full.
Not ordering from Temu as I have seen bad reviews here in the UK.
That guy was definitely going to Hawaii with his mistress
Ha! Love the conspiracy 🤣
What an odd layout!!
