Avis sur la compagnie aérienne United Airlines

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!

The seat back is actually pitched forward on both 12A and 12C. This was ridiculous -- it cannot be meant for an adult. (Note 12D and 12F
were 'normal', as they are mounted several inches closer toward the front of the aircraft.)
