Avis sur la compagnie aérienne United Airlines

standard business seat in an extremely noisy United plane. Bring you own headphones, the free ones are useless against the roar of the engines.

Should have paid more attention up front on reviews of this seat. VERY busy being next to galley door, carts moving in and out, hitting of shoulder as they go past. Crowded but almost livable otherwise. Seat pitch does not allow anyone with "girth" to lower table fully flat. Wish they would make table with a double fold so could choose a narrower (passenger to table) option. Grades given based on being 5'8", taller people will have legroom issue.

Quietest ride I can remember...engines barely hum at takeoff despite mega thrust...even toilets that only flush when the seat is closed to seal the noise in...automated water at lav, toilet flush, and electro-chromatic window ''screens'. Standard CO > UA J class product, meaning thank you for almost 7 hours' uninterrupted sleep after a tasty meal. Hate that the IFE stops for each announcement, but that's life in this digital age...

Upgraded to first class on the return flight. This time a daytime flight for the family of four (2A-E). This was a legacy United crew but they had the new Continental "can do" attitude that is improving this airline slowly. Service was outstanding and the crew made sure the kids were happy. Food was decent and the drinks were offered numerous times. Overall a very good flight. Baggage claim at Newark was lightning fast - the bags beat us out of the plane as we were "priority" status. I would fly again.

The seat was fine and right behind the exit row. Family took up four seats in the row (A-D) and no problems were experienced. Enjoyed the flight with a movie and it was on time with no concerns.

My wife and I had 14 J and K. Overall we were pleased with the privacy and space in the upper deck of the 747-400. The overhead storage is not as good as the business class below, however the storage closet area means you do not have to hall your stuff to seat. The window storage (if you are a couple is good tho). Yes, when the flight crew goes to the bathroom, the upper deck bathrooms are closed off but no big deal. With all the food, you wont starve on the trip.

When the cabin crew access the flight station they lock off access to the two upstairs bathrooms and so you have to go to the lower deck. Good service, Good accommodation. Overall a good flight.

Fantastic seats... if you cannot afford Business, this is the next best... lots of floor space and no seat in front to recline into you. TV is in arm rest... maybe not as nice as when it is in seat back but the extra space makes up for it. You have a divider wall in front of you and no exit door or window.

I paid for the upgrade to Economy Plus. While the service is the same (read: non-existent), the emergency exit seat is very comfortable. As I am quite tall, it was well worth the expense.

I paid more so I could have a Chinese mob constantly standing in front of me stepping on my toes to go to the bathroom. The entire 11 hour flight I could tell who's stomach liked the food or didn't. Extra $119.00!!! Not Nice United!
