Avis sur la compagnie aérienne United Airlines

The best point about 7G is that you don't even feel the plane's movements. I don't even feel much turbulence even when it was announced. UA's Asian service is stellar! The Business Class (new) seats are amazing. They are so good that I flew it about 3 times - using miles as well as revenue. Too many announcements (trilingual - English, Cantonese and Putonghua) thus disrupting IFE. Food is not bad from HKG, but SUPERIOR from Singapore. A "must experience" kind of flight! If in Economy Plus, it's rather rough when you're flying transpacific with no upgrade. A true pain in the ass - if you suffer from hemorrhoids!!

Economy Plus - After a red-eye from SFO-ORD on a 757, I took the 319 from ORD-YYZ, again, not clearing the upgrade list for Premier members. Yet, the consolation was a rather comfortable sleep on Economy Plus

seat 8d the best seat ever, better than any domestic first class seat.

Amazing! There is so much space to put your legs and the pitch and the width are fantastic!

Excellent Seat. A bit strange to the eye as your seat is pointing in about 10 degrees so it appears as if you are not going straight on take off and landing. Seats 1A and 1K are a bit close. But not like Economy or Business Class. Lot's of Room. 2A and 2K are the better of the seats but you have a closet next to you in the center of the Aircraft that could be bothersome. Unites First Class Suites are great for the LONG TRIPS.

Window side has a lot of room.
But can't lay on window to sleep.

Wow
I'm a little skeptical that you call this plane a clunker. One of the best planes ever built. Virtually everything was right when they rolled out the first 747-100 to this one. Its not the Dreamliner, but hey it was the cutting edge of Aviation History. still dominates the sky as a Cargo Option Combi. The only concern now is operation cost. That's why Boeing released the 787 series. for pilots this planes handles like a dream and responds like a small turboprop. Only difference is the flare begins earlier due to the height. It can fly around the world making two stops. With new Fuel additives this aircraft could see another 10+ yrs easy. Airlines still like it as 100+ orders are coming in from major carriers for the 747-8 series.

We paid about $75 each to upgrade to Premium Economy. It was worth it. We had just enough room to feel like humans -- not cattle.

This seat was nice and comfortable, but you can really tell the UA's seats are aging. While the padding was quite sufficient and the pitch and witdth good, the seat was almost delapidated and was not electronic; it's a very good thing that UA is redoing these seats. Otherwise, the flight was quite comfortable and the seat good, but after 16 hours, anything gets uncomfortable.

This flight to Chicago was my first flight with United and in their suite product. I have to say its not really up there with BA but it had a certain something that made it feel special. Friendly and somewhat ageing staff made the flight really pleasant. I'm not a fan of 777 layouts, especially for First Class. The 747-400 or new A380 make these suites feel much more exclusive
