A look inside United’s newly configured Boeing 777
Slowly but surely, United is rolling out its popular true lie-flat business and first class seats across its international long haul fleet. (blog.sfgate.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
For all the crap that airline food gets, I 80% of the time I have been satisfied with it.
Very nice plane.Any pics of flight deck?
Looks just awful. Take a look at the business suites on Etihad! Now that's class.
Business class 2-4-2 configuration makes for narrow seats. Middle "4" section feels too confining. Making non-aisle passengers climb over extended seats is unforgivable. And don't get me started on the food - disappointing to say the least!
Two weeks ago, I flew LAX-NRT 777-200 and NRT-SIN 747-400. The return flight was 747-400 on both legs. All 4 of these aircraft had this same Business configuration. On the 777 I had an aisle seat (C) of the center section of 4 seats. The flights on the 747s I had window seats. The experience was pretty much the same. Aisle seat had the inner person climbing over me or I had to put the seat back in the upright position. When I had the window seat, it was me climbing over. Neither was an optimal situation.
The really bad part is the seat it self. The way it "breaks" when going down just "cuts" me in all the bad places. Even full down, the seat would not accommodating my 6'4" body. Not much comfort in any position, including full up. The standard recline of the seat in full up was not very comfortable during meal service. I had to lean forward to keep from decorating myself with some very good food.
The entertainment system was better than I ever experienced, even better than what Singapore Airlines had to offer, when I flew them last - about 18 months back.

Enjoyed reading the comments people posted on the article. Particularly the few who mentioned how much fecal matter is absorbed by that 1974 fabric on the seats. It is truly ugly. Someone else mentions United having "shitty" service even for "those of us with status"? Hopefully I dont run into this "man of status" on any flight. Forget what gets absorbed in the fabric, I will take a dump in his lap.
