NIrishGuy Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 not sure if I'd describe a single aisle, narrow body plane from BKK to London as "too good to be true" mind......will be interesting if this route ACTUALLY materialises as I see from their website it's not up for sale yet for a flight that's meant to be launching in a few weeks time just ?

vinapu Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I once flew single aisle narrow body , namely 737 with Ladeco on Miami -Santiago de Chile route with refueling in Guayaquil, Ecuador , about 8 hrs flight and thought initially "where;s problem ? " but soon enough before even that stop on the route is felt very cramped and I was ready to jump. I'd prefer normal stopover with changing planes in such a case. Patanawet 1 Quote
worldatlarge Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Can anyone comment on United service on trans-pacific flights? They offer shorter and better connecting flights for a future trip but not sure how they compare against other airlines on long haul flights Thanks Quote

I've made 10 trans-pacific flights on United in the past year and will make another starting on Wednesday. I'd put them in the middle of the pack for in flight service. Business class is decent, similar to Air China. Premium Economy is slightly roomier than Economy Plus (9 seats across, rather than 10) with a limited menu selection and free drinks. Flight crew is usually more mature than other airlines. Assignments are based on seniority, thus the "mature" approach. Between take-off drink and meal service, and the arrival service one doesn't see too much of the cabin crew, they come by with water and there is a snack half way through the flight. Biggest gripe is the tendency to neglect the toilet areas which are less than pleasant after about five hours into the flight. On-time record is exceptional (at least from SFO). I'm a million miler so I have early boarding and some other perks. I like ANA and really like EVA. I've used my UA miles for flights on EVA. Quote
