      Saw an interview from CNBC a few weeks ago where one of the Pilots' union heads said that due to the pay shortage causing plane cancellations that some airlines are starting to pay out for Pilots.
      He works for American and said that United is winning the wages war to keep their planes flying.

      @@Hiei2k7 my daughter starts college next year and is going for an aviation degree. The airlines are actively trying to recruit kids like her to skip college (or even private flight schools) and go directly to the airlines for training. Previously there have been direct-to-airline pipelines out of the aviation colleges in the bigger universities, but now the airlines are going directly to the most promising high school graduates. You KNOW it’s serious when Delta is telling a 17yo with a pp certificate they will train her to fly for them 😂

    Yet another stellar review, and quite the feat for United to get your high praises! The jump from least to most preferred in the transcontinental US category of carriers. I haven’t been able to give them another chance for over a decade, but perhaps I need to reconsider! Even the cooling pillow is new to me! I’m looking forward to your California Zephyr video as promised. Thank you, as always!

      The one thing I rate highly about United is how bizarre round trips are. It's probably just me but for some very weird reason, United excels at making return trips FASTER than outbound trips! I have no idea why this is the case. Example: i fought and fought to book a ticket from Dallas to San Francisco sometime around 2003 or so. They stone cold wouldn't budge and insisted the only routes available were with a 2-hour layover at either Denver or Orange County. Yes, Orange County to San Francisco. Almost sounds like a cruel joke when it's not even 30 minutes flying time. After arguing with the booking agent, I relented and let them book me with a layover in Orange County. On the return trip, they were able to send me straight home on one flight: SFO to DFW nonstop. No need to go to jail, no need to pass Go and collect $200!
      It happened AGAIN trying to fly to south Florida. They forced me to stopover in Atlanta-Hartsfield on the way to Orlando. But on the RETURN trip, they were able to just send me straight home! I have no idea why this always happens to me on United, LOL...

    Thanks for sharing the video Paul. It was a good watch. It did however remind me of a flight we took a couple years ago from Seattle to Newark with United on a 737-900 and what they called first class. Like you, we were up at 3am to get to the airport from the hotel for an early flight. However because of some big storms in New York, we diverted to Washington Dulles. It was such a chapter of errors. To a combination of factors, such as unable to get another slot into Newark, pilots running out of duty time and unable to get replacements, we ended up spending the night in the terminal. We actually caught a 7 a.m. flight to our original destination. It was inconvenient but no real harm done. We treated it like an adventure. I thought it was funny, you going to New York to get to Washington. Thanks again, I really enjoy living varcariously through you and your trips.

    Thanks for the video! Intl business class prices have been pretty great to Europe, so I’m taking advantage next month. My first Polaris experience! I’ll be in the new seats/config on the way to London and the old-style from Munich back home via EWR. It will be interesting to see the difference. I’m kinda bummed about the old configuration, since I’m flying solo, but I figure I’ll try the middle seat and see how it goes. I won’t need to sleep much on the way home and it’s a lunchtime flight anyway. And I’ll be having the French Toast before we land in London, I think 😂

    United is definitely a love hate relationship. I’ve got over 2million miles on them between 2005 and 2018. My current job has little travel. Both trans Atlantic and Pacific routes were routine. Recently I did a round trip between FRA and IAD. Polaris was nice but lumping the drink, meal and dessert together was annoying.

    As a retired ramp serviceman for United Airlines, back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s United did name LAX as a hub for the company. We had well over 200 departures and landings daily. And except for two gates in terminal 6 which then Continental airlines only used.two gates United occupied the rest of the gates in Terminal 6 and all of Terminal 7 was nothing but United. And all of Terminal 8 was used for Shuttle by United using nothing but 737’s for their Shuttle by UA. Then they had a remote Terminal on the other side of Terminal 8 across Sepulveda Blvd by their hanger for All united Express flights that passenger were bused to get those flight at the little terminal there. So at one point United occupied basically 4 terminals. Then in 2003 they scaled back because of the events that happened on 9/11. It was a true hub for United that ranked up there with their hub in SFO and Denver. Of course ORD was the main hub. However there was a time when United at LAX had just as many flight as SFO. .

    I flew the exact same plane and seat this summer from LAX to IAD. I noticed that the difference between "Flagship" and "Non-flagship" was minimal, but still annoying. No pillows, amenity kits, or a second meal. Agree that US airlines are a mess with branding. The LAX united club lounge is leaps and bounds better than the clubs at Dulles, and I highly recommend the bulkhead seats for the extra room!!

    I have flown only B6 MINT and Delta transcon in the forward cabin. But you mentioned in the "Big 3" category you prefer United. Why United over Delta?
    Mint inflight experience was fantastic. However, Delta offers SkyClub access. Both the JFK and SEA SkyClubs are the deal breaker for me over B6 MINT. I have flown KLM Business class, and the SkyClub access was awesome pre-pandemic.
    Now I am curious how United figures into the equation. I have visited United Club locations in EWR, SFO and DEN. Denver was by far the best of the three, with EWR a distant 3rd.
    Thank you for the great video. Now I need to decide which airline for my late January trip. Thanks again! George

    United would not be a first choice carrier my carrier of choice used to be Continental Airlines followed by American.
    Nowdays I don't travel to the USA and my city Perth is not serviced by any US carrier so I can no longer compare airlines.

    You’re lucky you got a pillow and blanket. I took Polaris first class in February and it didn’t even offer a blanket or pillow let alone an amenity kit from LA to Chicago. I had to request a blanket which was begrudgingly given to me and it was super thin. The whole experience was awful for an overpriced seat. Just super disappointing how some airlines don’t care for the traveler’s experience anymore.

      Unfortunately LA to Chicago isn’t a Polaris route. It’s domestic first class. They do fly some larger planes on that route but the only domestic routes in the USA branded as Polaris and with Polaris service standards are the premium transcontinental routes.

    2 weeks ago I flew on United 737 8max in economy and it was a good flight. This past week I flew round trip from Newark to heathrow on a 767-300 both on premium plus and economy. Both flight were good except I did not like their economy chicken dish coming back from London. The United club in heathrow is much better than the club in Newark. Although their is going to be in a new United club in Newark spring of 2022.I would rate heathrow United club the 2nd best United after narita since the narita club has an automatic beer machine.

    New subscriber! I have a first class ticket in the 777-200 and the 787 Dreamliner next week from IAD to LAX round trip. How can I tell if I can the united club lounge or not with the tickets?

      If it’s IAD-LAX on its own and you have a first class ticket (and no club membership) I’m afraid there’s no lounge access 😞

      @@Paul_Lucas Yeah I downgraded my club membership chase card when I became silver status with United and have priority pass with another card :)

    I was at the United lounge several years ago on my way to Australia. It was pre-refurbishment and you’re absolutely spot on…shabby. I still think United lounges are not as good as some of those in Asia (Singapore) or ANZ in Sydney, Australia. Cheers.

    Hey Paul, I'm flying Lisbon to SFO with a layover at EWR in April with United in economy. My EWR to SFO is on a 777-300ER and I noticed it's a $350 seat upgrade to business class with polaris suites, but it doesn't say whether or not that upgrade would include full service. I'd imagine it would, yet it seems like a steal to me. Any idea? Cheers, I really enjoy your channel.

      EWR to SFO is full service so I’d take that!

    What should I do if United changed my aircraft from a B777 to a B757 for a transcon flight in business? Tough luck? :(
