Any longer than 1hr and these 737s are torture on a full flight. If you have a free middle seat the space is bearable but thats a lottery! Qantas economy on the 787 or a330-300 are superior....avoid the a330- 200 has exactly the same.seats as the 737, Meals are sometimes good sometimes awful like this sector. Safe travels!

Glad it's not just me who had a bad experience, their widebody aircraft are fine but the 737 is horrendous as far as legroom. The food I was served was actually alright but full flight very uncomfortable especially after coming off a red eye from Hong Kong on QF that evening

Definitely a better option than Qantas while QF is inclusive with food and beverage unlike ANZ where you have to purchase a works package ANZ I feel is much more comfortable as far as legroom and aesthetics in the cabin. I have flown on the A321 Neo also flown their premium products business and premium economy trans tasman. There are a few fifth freedom flights from Auckland to Australia which are also great products from China Airlines BNE to AKL CES SYD AKL and Latam. Great review :)
@K4Ediamond 14 күн бұрын
I actually took Qantas on the opposite route 3 days after this (the video that will be uploaded next) on a B737. And I agree with you that Air New Zealand is the better option. About the fifth freedom flights, Qantas itself also has one. It goes New York-Auckland-Sydney (in both directions). Given the poor legroom and inflight entertainment on the Qantas 737 I would have rather taken that fifth freedom one, as it uses the 787. Thanks for watching!

Very informative review, I'm flying on one of their A320s soon so hope I get a similar experience. What are your thoughts on the NEXT product making its way to the UA Airbus fleet as it stacks up to the MAX 8 that you've flown?
@K4Ediamond 23 күн бұрын
@@AirlineFlyer123 Glad to hear it was helpful. The A320 should have the same product as the one in this video other than lacking power outlets in economy (unless you get one of the few NEXT A320s). And speaking of the Airbus planes being retrofitted with NEXT, I am really looking forward to it. I’ve flown it on the MAX only, and sadly it’s not the most comfortable I’ve seen but it’s no worse than the old products (probably still better than the old ones, actually). Nevertheless the next interior makes United much more enjoyable to fly on.

I love it when United offers me a lounge trip pass add-on, even to a Basic Econ ticket, very useful during long layovers at SFO or a same-day return at night. $40 for a breakfast buffet on arrival, lunch buffet a few hours later AND finally a pre-flight dinner buffet that evening is a steal.

UA went on a narrowbody second hang buying spree in the 2010s. Primarily 319s and 73Gs. Curious as to why you gave a 7 on the timeliness if the departure issue was not UAs fault and you still got into SFO 10 minutes early?
@K4Ediamond 25 күн бұрын
Oh I see. United acquired N874UA in 2020 but I assume it was one of the later ones then. Good question about the timeliness score. 7/10 is actually the typical score I give for on-time arrivals. I've taken quite a few flights that have arrived VERY early (I'm talking even 45 minutes early), and flights like that would get a 10/10 for timely performance. I also take the departure time into account, though like you said, in this case it wasn't United's fault which I probably should have addressed at the end. And yes, I very much appreciate United's on-time performance for this flight, though I may not have been as clear of about it as I should have. Thanks for watching!

6:58 I've seen that Hawaiian Airlines has these bins installed on their A321neos... they definitely make the A321 cabin feel like a narrowbody A350, but in my experiences with those specific bins, they sure look snazzy but their bag capacity is just terrible. Both times I've been on DL A321s they needed to start gate-checking bags not even halfway through Main Cabin boarding.
