Quoting Bjornstrom (Reply 9): How about the 757's on P.S. that I usually ride SFO/LAX-JFK? |
Quoting Bjornstrom (Reply 9): What's the rollout schedule? I presume that the 777's and 747's are getting them first. |
Quoting Bjornstrom (Reply 9): How about the 757's on P.S. that I usually ride SFO/LAX-JFK? |
Quoting Corey07850 (Reply 15): good luck getting to the bathroom if you're seatmate on the aisle is fully reclined and sleeping |
Quoting HowSwedeitis (Reply 19): Good point... how would one go to the lav?? |
Quoting UNITED777300 (Reply 4): I'm amazed that UA is increasing the Y cabins. |

Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 5): -- Standard 110v power outlets requiring no adapter |
Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 5): Oh my gosh, those seats are fully flat. I'm really surprised that United went for that. |
Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 5): They really might struggle with competing with their first class. |
Quoting United Airline (Reply 6): Hope they will install private TVs and AVOD on every single seat next step! |
Quoting Bjornstrom (Reply 9): How about the 757's on P.S. that I usually ride SFO/LAX-JFK? |
Quoting Piercey (Reply 11): I'd guess to heavy for the plane |
Quoting AeroWesty (Reply 13): Looks like Economy Plus will be reduced as well. |
Quoting Laxintl (Reply 14): I hear some other plans are afoot for p.s. |
Quoting Zrs70 (Reply 27): Looks real nice. BUT, how does the guy in the window seat get out? Looks like a difficult jump over the aisle seat?! |
Quoting HowSwedeitis (Reply 34): Quoting UAL4ever (Reply 32): United Premier Executive What is that? |
Quoting N1120A (Reply 29): These beds are still inferior to the pods in F and I am sure service levels will be a bit lower. |
Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 5): 180 degrees to a full 6-foot, 4-inch bed |
Quoting Trent1000 (Reply 36): How can you say that? I know that's your opinion, but how can you make a statement about service standard based on a new seat design? I think that UA crew would find your statement offensive.The number of F seats will be less than now. Wouldn't you assume the crew/passenger ratio would therefore increase, allowing even better service? In what ways do you think the pods (BA I assume) are superior to these as yet uninstalled/untried new UA seats? |
Quoting UAORD2000 (Reply 16): I am really amazed by this. United is finally going to be competitive with the best of 'em. Truly amazing!!! |
Quoting Corey07850 (Reply 15): Looks good, but good luck getting to the bathroom if you're seatmate on the aisle is fully reclined and sleeping |
Quoting Readytotaxi (Reply 42): Well done United, now Continental what are you going to do with your tired product? |
Quoting UAL4ever (Reply 32): Finally, a business class that will be on the highest level. |
Quoting N1120A (Reply 29): These beds are still inferior to the pods in F and I am sure service levels will be a bit lower. |
Quoting Planenutz (Reply 31):
Also, it seems the other two members of the executive team are Brits. Anyone know their history? Perhaps brought over from BA, Virgin or the like to improve UA premium cabins? |
