    In my opinion United is definitely the #2 best U.S. airline right behind Delta. Great point about Brussels - Washington, DC being "the most political route on earth", I literally never even thought it of like that 😂

      Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad that someone out there shares the same likes as me. I try to make the video’s as how I see the world through my eyes. And am quite annoyed when someone is talking through it, so this is the result for now.
      I hope you continue to enjoy and I’ll see you around! 😊

    Great VDO, and thanks for this review. I'm reluctant to book their long haul economy class just because all the negative reviews on social media and my friends' personal experience. But this is one of a few recent reviews that show United (probably) have improved.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They have!
      I wasn’t a big fan myself and avoided them for many years, but in the past year I’ve only had good flights. The IFE is good, planes are new and staff getting friendlier..
      Try!

    I've flown this route on United a few times (though a lot has changed since then, one trip was pre-merger, so long before their fancy 787's and new 777's) and I must say it looks like they improved a lot since then. And being a little kid who hardly spoke a word of English I appreciated those anouncements very much, though I am probably quite used to hearing things repeated in a couple of languages by now.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      United has changed a lot indeed. I used to fly often from Amsterdam to Chicago or Washington on their B767-300ER and that was the memory I had. Cranky cabin crew. But this was the opposite. Incredible aircraft and friendly young spontaneous crew.

    Whenever you upload, I know it’s a great day! Loving the epic intro of the United B77W! I must say the United economy product is a solid one, definitely a joy to travel on! For myself, the highlight of your vid was the planespotting (the variety of liveries were endless!) especially coming as a planespotter from Singapore, where every 5 minutes, you see a SQ A359, all the time! Loving the vid as always, quality music choice and videography, and a very insightful impression and analysis of the United Airlines onboard product! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

      I’m very happy to hear that! But every day should be a great day!
      The product is good. I just perhaps would not charge for the stronger beverages, besides that it’s all really great!
      I was seated on the wrong side of the plane for optimum spotting in Brussels but oh well, more video’s coming soon!
      Singapore is great though, the problem is just that it’s incredibly hard to see the ramp from the terminal in some places..

    You were a very lucky flyer that day. You got 3 seats for yourself. It's much better than facing forward facing backwards very tight Business Class seats of BA. September 2021 was the start when flights started to normalize. Most people were still apprehensive to fly that's why most flights were half full.
    Your cheese was the real thing that's why it stinks. Only imitation cheese don't stink.
    I miss that ice cream they serve in economy. I will ask for that next time I fly United to Europe. Pasta looks good too. If I get a not so good meal in BC, I will ask for economy food or maybe exchange it with somebody.

    I knew I wasn't the only who thought about Brussels as an alternative to Schiphol. The blessings of living in the Schengen zone.🤣
    Noise abatement procedures are interesting. For example, consider DXB that has either emirates road or those short buildings on the dubai sharjah road which I used to take to school all those years back. But at LCY for example, it almost flies directly above Canary Wharf and the Shard. Smaller aircraft advantages I guess.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The noise abatement procedures are insane at some places! In Brussels they make very little sense as 3 different parties are involved and not agreeing on anything: The Brussels authority, Flanders and Wallonia, each have their own priorities and political agenda.
      Brussels is an interesting alternative. I rather spend 2 hours in the train vs 5 hours in line.

      And as you mentioned TLV.. The next one being editad is some Etihad B787-9 Business towards to your direction🤩
      I’m the seat fairy!🧚‍♀️
      I should call myself that. I was going on Brussels Airlines but some days before my secret agent in the US told me “ you want to take United, trust me”, so I did. The rest is history😎
      You saved yourself the sector on the A320 from TLV to BRU though.. that must be pretty bad. I’m so afraid of having to film one of those to please some of the people here. I’ve been requested Wizz Air from Dubai, that’s +5 hours in that seat🤯
      Anyway, going to continue editing! see you!

    When I flew United Airlines long haul all the way from the US to India and back, Economy Class had a 3-3-3 configuration. I think that one is much better than the 3-4-3 configuration on a Boeing 777.

    United has two distinctive seat designs in economy on their widebody aircraft. The 767-300ER, 767-400ER, domestic 777-200(ER), 777-300ER, 787-8, and most 787-9s have the older style. The international 777-200ER, a few 787-9s, and all 787-10s have the new design. The main difference is that it has a literature pocket behind the IFE screen, in addition to the main seat back pocket. This is supposed to slightly increase legroom. The Dubai flight is going to be operated by the 777-200ER, so it'll have the new seats.

      True, Jet used Brussels for some years before transferring to Amsterdam. I managed to fly them a few times, top notch quality. I’m looking forward for what’s in store for them, I however am afraid that there are far too many powerful parties lobbying against their growth…

    5:50 I remember that UNITED safety demonstration video. They came up with a great concept showing the airplane safety features from different parts of the world, all to the music by the great American composer George Gershwin in the background
    However iI was surprised to see the final scene of the safety video set in China
    United is a US carrier. Their hubs are in NewYork, Washington, Chicago and SanFrancisco
    It would make more sense to finish the safety video from one of these cities instead since all of these cities have iconic landmarks which could’ve been shown in the video
    Just saying...

      I think all airlines are a bit strict with the checked bag.. It also depends on your frequent flier tier. Most of the time they won’t be strict if it’s a kg above or so.. I’ve never really had any issue.

I do not care about the food. Each flight is different. Food could be bad on flight and great the next. Besides I always have an MRE (minus the heater. That would be dangerous) in my carry - on in case i do not like the food.
