FromChicago
ToHong Kong
This seat was nice and comfortable, but you can really tell the UA's seats are aging. While the padding was quite sufficient and the pitch and witdth good, the seat was almost delapidated and was not electronic; it's a very good thing that UA is redoing these seats. Otherwise, the flight was quite comfortable and the seat good, but after 16 hours, anything gets uncomfortable.

While close to toilets, there was no problem with people congregating. Shared tv screens on a 14 hour flight are so outdated and show how United cares little for it's customers! The apple cobbler (?) dessert was inedible raw dough topping off a generally poor dinner. Bring a book or your own DVD player and movies!

Bussiness class seats are ideal for working or resting. The upper cabin of this airplane gives passengers in these area more privacity and the sensation of peace.

United Airlines flight attendants gave us a delicous dinner. They gaved us a delicous silver cod in soy mirin. It was a remarkable dinner. United Airlines have exelent chefs.

FromFrankfurt - Frankfurt International Airport (FRA)
ToSan Francisco, CA - San Francisco International (SFO)
Fantastic service....we are both disabled and i asked for a chair with more space for my leg and they seek and found us a place with 4 chairs so plenty of room. Of course the plane wasn't full. We've got good food and drinks and it was enough, the stewards where very kind.

FromSan Fransisco
ToBeijing China
I paid more so I could have a Chinese mob constantly standing in front of me stepping on my toes to go to the bathroom. The entire 11 hour flight I could tell who's stomach liked the food or didn't. Extra $119.00!!! Not Nice United!

FromBangkok-Suvarnabhumi International (BKK)
ToSan Francisco, CA-San Francisco International (SFO)
No personal TV, but entertainment was OK. Seats didn't recline too far, which doesn't intrude do much on personal space. Good space between wall and seat to put my bag. Normally I get backache after a few hours, but nothing on this flight.

(coach/ economy)A painfully long flight on an aging cabin/ model; everything on this 747 should be updated. No individual entertainment is provided lousy service etc. Never again will I use this route. The photos below are for 1st class. Good luck for the 99% ...

FromLos Angeles-Los Angeles International (LAX)
ToSydney-Kingsford Smith (SYD)
Very comfortable, reasonably quiet, the seat was long enough and reclined to the horizontal so I slept longer than I normally do. The seat controls and entertainment were easy to operate. The food and wine were very good. No complaints whatsoever.

Great seat! In between snack and toilet. Good overhead room. Newer plane with lg IPad like screens. I am 5’2 if you are taller than me I would get an upgrade for more leg room. For me it was fine.
