Avis sur la compagnie aérienne United Airlines

My last three international trips (Averaging 17-18 hour journey to Asia ) were done in Business class. However, I couldn’t justify paying $10 k for a 9.5 hour journey (San Francisco to London) so I purchased United Plus. I had read the mostly positive reviews, nevertheless was apprehensive how comfortable the United Plus could possibly be.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I could stretch out my legs, didn’t feel claustrophobic when the passenger in front of me reclined his seat.
The seat (while being no business class seat) was fine.
I should also mention that I am 5’4” tall!
I tall passenger may disagree!

The food was average, but I don’t care about that. The TV monitor was small and the touch screen not very responsive , but that was ok too!

The United plus seat was good value for money. So much so that I will seriously consider United plus next time I travel a 9 hour or less journey. I think I will splurge for business only on the ridiculously long flights which exceed 15 hours.

OK - it is coach, middle seat and no window, but it is also an exit row, so all the leg room you could ever need. And near the lavs, without too much clutter of folks waiting in line. Overall, if you can't get the front exit row (17, I believe) then this is the next best thing. Oh - and remember - since no seat in front, you have solid sides, which is good to protect you from your larger neighbor, but also shrinks the width of the seat a bit. A fair trade in the pot-luck world of coach seating. As a 1K flyer I got a free breakfast, which was worth the price (free), and probably worth paying for, if you didn't bring on your own breakfast for the five hour flight. Beverage service was infrequent - maybe you are supposed to go to the galley and ask? United iPad entertainment was spotty a couple of times - movie freezing up - and if you stopped and did something else then you might have to start over and then slide the timer to about where you were. All in all, for a daytime flight, I'd buy this coach seat and save the money and not buy Polaris. For a night flight - I'd go Polaris.

This is a forward facing Polaris lie flat seat. As a lie flat seat, it does what it is supposed to, but it is a bit on the slim side. There is also little room for effective storage of small items as compared to what you get on United's 767 Polaris seats. Service from flight attendants was excellent, although the food choices have gone downhill over the years. And like all of these seats, if you are on the aisle, your seat mate will be crawling over you if you have gone into lie-flat mode.

No es lo ideal para un viaje de diez o más horas.

The guess this United’s typical first class product. Not that great in my opinion. There is no foot rest and the seat doesn’t recline back enough. Seat was uncomfortable and no AVOD system. Food not that great either. Really not liking United Much

By far, the worst seat I've ever flown long haul in. 16 hours in this seat was torture as the recline was so minimal. Even paying more for "Economy Plus" did not help much. So difficult trying to sleep as I kept nodding forward due to steep incline. Nonchalant service made it even worse, the complete antithesis of the boarding announcement claiming to desire to be of service to the passengers.

Good seat on exit row by the window.
All other seats are very similar as far as size and comfort.
Enjoyable but a bit noisy flight.

The seats were not huge but comfortable enough. I thought there was enough legroom and when the person in front of you reclines it is still manageable. The nice thing about sitting in the middle section as a couple is that there is an aisle on either side so that a stranger doesn't have to step over you to get out.

For short flights, 2 hours or less, I recommend any seat on this aircraft except row 11. This is in front of the emergency exit window row and does NOT recline.

That said: Row 18 is the emergency exit row and while the seat recline is minimal (a few degrees at best) the leg room is outstanding.

I would NOT want to spend more than 2 hours in this aircraft.

Very very comfortable , no noise from adjacent passengers TV monitor excellent
Food and Service the best of the best
Looking forward to flying again
Only negative issue, all passengers walked past as they got on the plane
Maybe business class should use seperate entrance or board at the end
Otherwise very very good .
