    Thinking your seat was particularly cold because it looks like you were right beside an emergency exit door which has less insulation and allows more cold air to creep in than the fuselage. I've had the same experience.

    Great video. Love the edits and how you put it together. I have flown United, was not too impressed...it felt like a very cheap experience but granted that was just going from SFO to MSP. I bet it is different going on an international flight. Loved Air New Zealand, there staff is awesome, would love to fly them again!

    • @coffeewithanshu
      @coffeewithanshu  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes, for sure, domestic and international are quite different experiences, and that's why i only review international. domestic experience just isn't consistent... thank you for recommending Air New Zealand! what class did you fly?

    I typically travel first class on all domestic flights; (after years of paying my dues seated in the back) But have yet to do so on an international flight; not sure the cost/benefit. analysis warrants it. These seats look about the same as those in domestic first but considering the option of seven hours plus in economy I think they're likely worth every penny! Thanks so much for the objective and informative review!

      @coffeewithanshu  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      oh interesting observation! do you have a hack for first class in domestic flights? we also always do economy. is there a good way to get upgrades to first class or certain time of booking you use? and yes, this premium economy was definitely more comfortable for 7 hour+ flights. def worth a try.

    If the seat is not wider than a standard economy seat it does me no good since I stopped running 10Ks and half-marathons. Like pulling myself out of a sardine can at the end of the flight. 😕

      She was sitting in a bulk head seat, front of the section. So more leg room, but your TV comes out of your arm rest instead of the seat in front of you. Not a bad trade off, but sometimes the fold out kind like this are broken or don't work properly.

      Not during take off and landing. Okay for the rest of the flight.
      The space under your seat belongs to the person begins you. Besides, that space is not accessible because of your leg rests.

      We always fly united or one other partner airlines. We have a ton of points from decades of using their CCs so often upgrade to business or a mid grade. They are not bad, but not as nice as some of the non US flag carriers. Air New Zealand is similar in quality, but the planes are cleaner, and the cabin crew younger.

      No sir. You are incorrect. “Premium Plus” is United’s brand name for their premium economy product. You must have it confused with “Economy Plus” which is merely United’s regular economy service and seats, but with about five extra inches of leg room.
