Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Great video iTrip Report! I can’t wait to see these excellent new United “NEXT” cabins join the entire United narrow body fleet especially as many of their older A320ceo and 737NG fleets have very outdated interiors that just feel like they dare back the the late 1990s with no IFE screens and no other “expected” features from this decade! 😂🎉 I still have yet to fly United AT ALL so bear in mind all my opinions on this are based off of YT vids I’ve seen but the new NEXT cabins with IFE at every seat, ample power outlets, better looking (and hopefully more comfy seats 💺) and just a newer classier looking feel (especially in First Class) look great and I’d say United is certainly on the right path I think with all these cabin refurbishments! Also their 737 MAX and soon arriving Airbus A321neo fleets already match these awesome cabin updates and I love them! I’ve got to fly United sometime very soon!! Cheers 🥂 Also plz do check out my RU-vid channel Caleb’s Aviation as I make a lot of vids on all sorts of aviation topics and more to come soon! Also plz leave a like comment and sub if you enjoy my channel! Thanks so much! 😎

Awesome video! I believe American did the same thing in regards to just restyling the overhead bins during the refit. Probably a cost-saving measure as many 737's in United's fleet already have an existing sky interior with mood lighting.

@Blank00 11 месяцев назад

AA did it slightly differently. On AA's older 737s, AA decided to keep the classic AA wallpaper on the sidewalls. However, on United's, United got rid of the Continental wallpaper in favor of a generic white wallpaper.

@al380aviation 11 месяцев назад

@@Blank00 I know, I was just referring to the lighting and bins

@johniii8147 11 месяцев назад

Not many of them actually have the sky interior. The old existing 737s on either UA or AA won't be around for more than a few years so it didn't make sense economically to do a full upgrade. They are on their way out in the next 5 years or so.

@johniii8147 11 месяцев назад

you can never guarantee equipment type. They do operational swaps all the time, especially on domestic flights. You're paying for point A to point me, not a specific aircraft. The probability of getting NEXT will be very low until they start receiving all those new aircraft on order.

Once N76508 is flying with NEXT, you should try to get a flight on that one. It may have the all new seats because it was delivered with Koito seats, but it may also just get refurbished seats because it was delivered in 2008, meaning that the plane is not that old

@LiamWalsheliamskitchen 10 месяцев назад

I wonder how much more comfortable they are versus the old F seats that came from Continental. I was on quite an old 737-800 earlier this year and the seats were just so comfortable. Old yes, but very comfortable. I once flew on a 900er and the seats were not very good. They were like a vinyl covered bench. Those were a different model, the same that AC used on their A319/320/321.

@ITripReport 10 месяцев назад

I honestly quite like these over the older ones in terms of comfort. I love the old continental seats but they're so worn out nowadays.

FYI the 737NG NEXT retrofits have mood lighting if the panel is set correctly. You can even see the blue hue in your video during boarding looking at the economy cabin.

@Blank00 10 месяцев назад

It's not true mood lighting. The ceiling lights are permanently blue, just like how the wall lights are permanently white

@ITripReport 10 месяцев назад

Yeah... sadly they went the cheaper route like American's 737s. Thankfully the 900ERs already have sky interior installed so those should have proper mood lighting.

@LegitimateAviation 11 месяцев назад

I wanna say United put half effort into their 738s bc I’m guessing they want to retire them soon. I know nothing has been announced, but they’ve already got the max8 replacements. The A319, tho the same age, has nothing in line to replace it atm hence the better product. I guess we will see for sure when the newer 739s with the sky interior get retrofitted, if they have better WiFi and include mood lighting.

@ITripReport 9 месяцев назад

the newer 900s will definitively get the MAX 8 mood light treatment, since those already came with sky interior, so for them its more of a coding/programming thing with the built system. But yeah, I do feel like the retrofit could've gone a lot better, but its also evident they tried cutting costs where they could At the end of the day this is much better than the tired continental 738s

@kiddo817 10 месяцев назад

For first class, UA should at the very least provide a cold plate or a hot breakfast like eggs/sausage/potatoes. A snack basket in First Class just seems cheap…

@ITripReport 9 месяцев назад

In their defense, their meal cutoff is 800 miles, which is on the lower end for US carriers (Delta is 900 miles). Yet again, I personally wish they offered more than just a simple snack basket

Ive worked on this type of 737 quite a bit, it's the "Y" version. I love the old mixed with the new. New bins, first class seats, and IFE screens in economy installed in the old seats where the direcTV used to be, also cool to see they kept the old style window shades as well.

@johniii8147 11 месяцев назад

@byromania 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this report. While I truly appreciate the effort that UA has put into retrofitting the cabins of their fleet to reflect the new NEXT standards, I wish they would put the same effort into updating their onboard product. The "First Class" service offerings were just POOR and in my opinion, it was a bit embarrassing!!! It was just not up to First Class standards, and that is a running theme with United. Their inflight product really lets them down. Again, I applaud UA's efforts to upgrade their cabins and improve the hard product, but I wish they would do the same with their onboard service product. It just looked pitiful. I believe jetBlue offers as much to their Economy class passengers. UA could be a truly great carrier, but in terms of their onboard product, they seem to be quite content with being just good enough, and no more. As always though, I do appreciate your flight reviews, and I look forward to the next one. Take care.

If United wasn't going to give these old 737s full moodlighting and BSI sidewalls, then what they should've done was kept the old Continental wallpaper on the sidewalls. Don't get me wrong, this NEXT cabin is objectively better than OAAsis and at least United is actually retrofitting their old 737s to have the latest features unlike Delta and Alaska. But this classic-Boeimg version of NEXT looks soulless with the new white wallpaper that you can find on a ULCC like Sun-Country. Had United kept the Continental sidewalls on these older 737s, they would've saved even more money and the cabin would've had color and a unique ambiance that the non-BSI NEXT 737s lack

@johniii8147 11 месяцев назад
