    @Rockoar Thank you! I believe it's the only 744 used for domestic flights. That was a deep dish chicago style pizza. They are all over Chicago!

    Dude, I seriously wish I was there! Very good job!
    Go SFO!.

    @homer3152 Thank you for the nice comments, homer. No wine list or menu, since it was domestic flight. UA only gives out menus for their P.S. flights. Yes, this was molecular gastronomy. Lots of liquid nitrogen used. It was pretty amazing food. It was truly a culinary experience!

    I realy like the commentary, its great to compare thoughts and makes the video more interesting. Real good videos here Im subbed!

    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @applmac2009 No, these are all forward facing in the B747. However, in the B767 lie-flat seats, some are forwards and some are backwards.

    Looks fantastic. I flew from the states to Manchester one class below business with this airline and loved it. The people so nice. Infact I prefered it from Virgin, and that's saying something as they are good too. If eneough people buy my book in December, maybe I can fly business next time. Brilliant bit of filming.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @207SUZANNE Thank you very much! Yes, hopefully with the merger, United will get even better. I think they will get rid of the current UA caterer and go with CO's caterer (which has much better food). Thank you for the comment, and good luck with your book sales!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @usair97 Yeah, that is one of their signature dishes. I saw it in their cookbook also. Thanks for the comment!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @19bootsy68 Thank you for the comment. Yes, it is nice that they have lie-flat seats on United for domestic flights!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @scorpgc Thank you. I think the service is better. I think with the merger, the morale has probably gone up. I really think it is better. The food has improved, but it has a long ways to go. Thank you for the comment.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @dkt3wings Thanks! Yes, we took the B747 on the way back, ORD-SFO.

  • @FlightSimulatorXATC
    @FlightSimulatorXATC 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I flew this route to IAD just a couple of weeks ago. Looking out the windows of a fully loaded 777 (literally every seat was filled) taking off of 1R was a harrowing experience. Those Pratts are powerful though!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Because the plane is actually slanted a little nose up at cruise. When you sleep backwards, you head is actually a little up over your feet, which is more comfortable than having your head below your feet.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for your kind words.

  • @737823
    @737823 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your videos are awesome. I'd never have the guts to walk down an aisle with a camera. Do pax/FAs/staff ever ask you? Please keep them coming!

  • @Goku2454
    @Goku2454 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    cool I've always wanted to try and fly business class good video.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bluepanther1011 Maybe, I am not sure. This serves the ORD-AMS route after this domestic flight, so it may be.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @teevtee Yes, I had been to Trotters before, and it was great, so we wanted to try something else. I have heard that MK's is also a great place, so maybe next time, I"ll do that one!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @BAflyer12 Yeah, they weren't too bad at all, especialyl for a domestic flight.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheJosh2468 Yes, they are P & W! Thank you for the nice comment!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ie210 I am not sure. But the B767 cannot make it ORD-HKG. I believe the B767 goes from ORD to AMS. They have a B747 that goes ORD-HKG.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MistaJ0001 Thank you. Happy travels to you!

  • @gmanist1000
    @gmanist1000 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    i love these videos. keep em up!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ie210 I do not know the registration, but you are correct. It was the plane taken out of the "desert" as they say on Flyertalk. I assume Victorville is the long-term storage in the desert?

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @FlightSimulatorXATC Yes, they are incredibly powerful, aren' they? Thank you for your comment!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @BigSam3788 I am unfamiliar with ORD's layout, unfortunately. Not sure which runway we landed on. SFO is a nice and easy airport to figure out with good landmarks because of the water. Thank you for the comment!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheBadkid1001 Yes, Chicago is a great city. I personally can't deal with the winters there, but it is one of America's great cities, no question.

  • @homer3152
    @homer3152 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you very much for another wonderful video..and a classy american touch..corn soup and warm chocolate chip cookies..yay, lol! Was there a wine list? Loved also the shots from the restaurant..was this molecular cooking? At least partly, I thought, when I saw the frozen dishes.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TonyMcGriffles I think once the new CO seats come out, they will be similar, but the present-day business class seats are still no the same. I think the new US Airways envoy also will be similar, but the old style is just not there yet.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @teevtee Yes, that was Giordono's, I believe. You are good! You must live in Chicago.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, back in the day.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Yelegdir United mileage plus, of course!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheJosh2468 Good question. I believe you are correct. Is IAE the same thing as CMF? I think UA uses CMF engines for their Airbuses. But I think you're right about P & W for the rest of their fleet.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @FrameFreaks88 Thanks for the nice comment!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually backwards is better for sleeping. I always choose backwards facing seats if I can.

    @Ben123planes Although that's true sometimes, I usually order the tasting menu, so I am totally stuffed by the end of the dinner!

  • @BAflyer12
    @BAflyer12 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those old business seats look really comfortable, and they seem to go almost flat.

  • @sfflyer123

    @TheJosh2468 This is great to know. Thanks for the info!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @teevtee I just saw the website. They won't even let you into the website without registering! Crazy. I'll try that if I can ever get a table, one day! Thanks.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @737823 Thank you! Usually not. As long as you don't video people's faces, they're fine with it. I try as much as possible not to show anybody's face or any identifying information.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have. Delta is great.

  • @sfflyer123

    @carlvincent12 You are too kind. But sometimes it is better to stay at home!

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    The outbound is a B767 and the return is a B747. Take a look at my captions. It tells you which plane I am on when.

    @Ben123planes 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    problem with fine dining is that you pay loads to have tiny portions and end up having to stop at McDonalds on the way home to fill up...

  • @SYDAirlineEnthusiast
    @SYDAirlineEnthusiast 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    They should use Boeing 747s for flights from Washington Dulles to both San Francisco and Los Angeles also if they can use one for a flight that is only halfway across the country.
