Trip Report | Paris CDG - Newark | United Airlines Economy Plus | Boeing B787-10 

Yes. United absolutely knows how to do service well, especially on international flights- though I’ve encountered some of best crew members thus far in my life - on United domestic routes. Also, These days, even in United domestic first class, passengers are offered hot towel service, and of course real silverware and real glasses and dishes during the flight. Pre-departure drink service is offered in plastic, understandably so. Great video!

23:34, Wow that's a firm landing. The passenger felt the firm landing and hopefully, the passenger is okay.

FA's in Iron Shoes ... 😂 Reminds me of the good old days of Interflug et al 😈😂🍸Also ... great flight report.

Concorde to eternity ☹ , yes sr , that plane is iconic

I've heard the 787 can alter its flap profile slightly during flight to optimise the wing for different speeds/altitudes. In that case the spoilers would also have to realign themselves slightly to maintain the wing's shape. The 787-9 & 10 also have boundary layer control on the fin (not currently active that I know of) and tailplane. Air is let into a duct and allowed to blow across the surface which improves the aerodynamics. The A380 spoilers also reposition themselves so they maintain a constant surface with the lowered flaps.

So happy to see United being back to a respectable carrier. The past couple of years really hurt them. I flew United nearly all the time. Great flight United, and great video, dude!

Thanks I found everything I needed to know thanks 🙏🏻

idk why but i find the hum of the engines soothing.

Excellent video! I remember I got to fly on a UA 787-9 from ORD to IAH

Have had icecream in the past in few airlines. Was rock hard. Urs looks so creamy and soft!!!

Again a great report and film footage. You take things from a different angle and to the next level. As an ex pilot you give me the full overall picture and bringing back lots of memories! Very professional, well done!!

18:12 : that was my place when I came to US in 2019, and I can confirm what you say. It's the perfect one!

I really love your trip reports they are so informative without lots of unnecessary conversations - great work 😊

The reason to unplug your devices from the in seat power supply system during take-off and landing are due to the most risky flight phases. There is a bigger chance when using the in seat power supply for damage, overheating or smoke development. So airlines just don’t want to take that risk during high workload phases as take-off and landing. These are the most crucial parts of a flight. Kind regards from a Dutch cabin crew member, who is flying on aircrafts with in seat power supply systems as well :) Btw, lovely footage!

Hi and thank you. I agree about the PA pre recorded message. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for a very informative video. I especially appreciate your comments on the technical details. I am flying in a few weeks internationally & it will be the first time I've gone with United so it was really helpful to see your experience. I have now subscribed to your channel. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia

Very nice video! The 787-10 is a wonderful airplane, and United are always a pleasure to fly with, especially on transatlantic routes. I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel!

You definitely know your stuff 👏 👏 👏. You got yourself a new subscriber.

Very detailed review, great job! I'm not a huge fan of "Monique" either (haha) but it certainly helps for those who want a clear announcement in their language. I read a lot about people complaining about US carriers because of reduced service standards so it is truly amazing to see such a great review about UA. I would've also been one happy customer!

Great video. I love your technical notes. I have flown several hundred thousand miles with United . I am still amazed at the miracle of flight and I feel the crews do a fantastic job in a small galley serving hundreds of passengers--people always pan airline food but good grief this is not the Savoy lol.

Thats a solid trade! Great video, I'm starting to get addicted to your channel.

Thank you for this RU-vid.

I LOVE aviation and commercial planes in particular. I've never flew on the 787 yet. I can't wait to experience it one day! I fly domestic in America. I think that most of the times; the airlines reserve the wide-body craft for international flights? I say this because it always seems I'm assigned a 737 or an A320. I love them both. But I wanna fly on a wide-body! Even if it's an older 767. I don't care!! I love the video. Thanks for the post. Peace.

One of some very few good review about UA. I've flown with UA only one time, in 2020, and that's a very bad experience. I must say that I'm very impressed with the IFE and cabin interior, but the food and crew on my flight were poor. I might consider to try them one more time after watching this video.

your videos!........how informative and precise...im honestly in live with them! oh and the 787 engine startup noise ...( a pleasure to the ears).....awaiting for more videos !all the best!

lovely, well-put together review - love the humor too!

Your Channel is so underrated

You all are so perfect at this totally love the trips ,

5:18 I remember that UNITED safety demonstration video. They came up with a great concept showing the airplane safety features from different parts of the world, all to the music by great American composer George Gershwin in the background However iI was surprised to see the final scene of the safety video set in China United is a US carrier. Their hubs are in NewYork, Washington, Chicago and SanFrancisco It would make more sense to finish the safety video from one of these cities instead since all of these cities have iconic landmarks which could’ve been shown in the video Just saying...

Great video and flight! Thank you for Sharing

21:40 in case of evacuation, wires & cables tangled & blocking the seats etc.😮😮

Dude really nice video, I fly the a320 and really admire the 787. Like the subtitles and how you kept the engine sounds in. Too much music over videos like this these days. Keep it up!

Of all US intl airline's, UA beats the other's by a wide margin food wise. Brilliant review

Great video. I am looking forward to my 17H flight from DEL to ORD. That is going to be just one of the flights in my journey from PNQ to CVG - more than 24H. I was most worried about the 17H flight but looks like i will be able to survive.

Great

I am no 787 engineer but i believe they do not sit flush before start up is because of the lack of hydraulic pressure in the system, once they get pressure they become flush.

Excellente video!

to be even more specific, Arthur Kill devides NJ from Staten Island aka Garbage Island...nice vid btw

Hello mate Beautiful view you trip Take care god,bless you See ya

Great video, keep up the good work. I love flying out CDG Airport.

Actually really great content!! The quality and humour perfectly combines in your videos! Keep it up!

Love it another trip report by you - I am so glad the United did not lock the window blinds I am really glad .Some cabin crews airlines darken the cabin and expect you to sleep on a daytime flight while they take a nap .One of my main problems with Boeing 787 passenger are electronic window design shades all control with the cabin crew .

Very nice, high five! I'll be flying the friendly skies from ORD - ZRH in June and I hope the service is of this level!

Congratulations for this video, I like very much, because you explained a lot of things both The airplane than of places. I start to follow The channel. Abraços de um inscrito do Brasil.

Charging devices allowed or not depend on company safety procedures. If not allowed to use USB charging devices is to avoid blockage or obstruction of the passenger evacuation during an emergency. aisle and exit area must be clear during takeoff and landing, tray tables , cables should be collected… prior to prepare for quick evaluation. Thanks nice video 👍.

It's awesome you got to fly the DreamLiner, it's a shame you had to go to New Jersey to do it. Hopefully you didn't have to stay long. I agree with you about EWR, it's not a great airport to travel through. Since covid, United has upped their game. I also had a great experience with them during 2021.

once again a great video and yeah i can't stand with that recorded voice, all american carriers uses that or is only United? at this side of the pond i noticed Turkish uses hat too as i noticed on some videos.

I really like your reviews. They are informative and not at all nasty and entitled like so many of the genx and millenial (present company excepted) vloggers out there now. Well thouoght out and much appreciated from a retired airline employee that used to work weight and balance with a pencil and a manual. :) Boy were the whales and DC10's fun! And yeah making an arrival or departure PA is hardly a pain. Not a fan of the canned PA's either.

Bonjour! awesome video thank so much.Merci

The food on this flight looked wonderful! Did they have snacks in the galley for mid flight munching? The food would be better I think leaving from CDG.

The US carriers don't have the best reputation, but UA seems to have a competitive long-haul product in all classes. The seat looks pretty typical for long haul economy, the IFE is top notch, and it seemed like you got two full meals, plus snacks and drinks. The food quality also looked good for economy. Overall, much better than their domestic product, which I've flown many times. Note that they are improving that as well. The next time I go to Europe, I'll definitely fly with United. I like how you showed the various quirks of the 787. It was interesting to see how the flaperon works during different phases of the flight, including to keep the plane steady during turbulence. I didn't know it could do that, but I guess it works a lot like stabilizers on a ship. As for the foggy window, apparently that's a problem with the 787s, if the windows are set to their darkest setting for long periods of time. I wonder if it would have gotten better after takeoff. I always pick the window seat for the views, so being able to see out is very important to me. I like how with the 787, it's possible to partially dim the window so one can still see out, but not disturb seatmates who might be trying to sleep. I could see how it would be annoying if the crew locked out the windows on the darkest setting. They're not supposed to do that on United, but from what I've heard, sometimes it still happens. I'm fine with dimming all the windows after meal service, but not locking them, so those who want to undim can do so. Lastly, from my experience, US carriers only make you unplug your devices for takeoff and landing if you're in an exit row. This is so in the unlikely event of an evacuation, no one is tripping over cords. In all other rows, you can keep them plugged in from gate to gate. It might be different with foreign carriers though.

Great trip report!

Amazing video as always! I also love bumpy approaches and hard landings😅

Thanks for posting. I have an international trip coming up in a few weeks. I'll also be flying United on a 787-10 and I was curious if the planes still had TV's on the seat backs! It's been awhile since I've flown internationally.

Great report

What an amazing video. Thank you! ☺️ I don't know the answers to your questions but I hope somebody knows and you will get your answers.

I think I know why some airlines ask you to unplug your devices for takeoff & landing - so that they won’t block the entryway into the row in case of an evacuation

7:36 😂 bless

I flew the exact same flight at the exact same seat lmaooooo

Great video! But at 22:00, spell check! It's Parallel. ;-)~~

Just as a side note, that ATN flight was traveling to LA on its way to Tahiti and not YVR.

Why don’t you fly to Mauritius on Air Mauritius’ a350,then continue onto Dubai from Emirates a380?

Great video, you do a great job with them. I would have done the same and switched seats. I flew business class from TPA via ATL to Venice, and same on way back. If I could know if coach is reasonably not too full, I wouldn't need to fly business. I just don't like being crowded on a full flight. Tampa airpirt has added non stop to Frankfurt on Eurowings. What do you know about that airline? Are they any good? I think it is a subsidiary of Lufthansa. Once again, thanks for the videos

Side note, I actually flew the Air Transat A310 being from Montreal. I won't lie it wasn't the best flight of my life, but it was definitely cool!

I also notice that sometimes when taxiing from runway to gate, when the flaps go from full to up, the flaps pause halfway or before halfway, and then they go all the way up. Can any engineers explain the pause in the flaps' run from full to up?

Hi, great video. Just a small error, at 1min14sec I think you meant to say "fares from Doha are not that great at the moment" instead of Dubai? (Qatar is based at Doha and Emirates at Dubai).......so just a small mistake. Again, great video

Yes I Would

I feel most people, like myself, subconsciously pay less attention to those pre-recorded announcements because of how impersonal they are. Unless I make that conscious decision to listen out for information, my ears just shut them out.

Nice video !! I’m going to Paris soon with United what was the travel restrictions going and coming back im fully vaccinated I don’t got the booster what’s it looking like for me? Thank you in advance !!

You did not shake the camera no problem.

what is your work that you can fly this much #jealous :')

Awesome video, very detailed. 👏 btw, did u get free messaging via WhatsApp?

Great video as always! Just wanted to ask you if you have any tips for maximizing the experience as an economy passenger? How much is too much when asking flight attendants what I can have.

Unless you are a mosquito or an Italian Mafioso, why would you want to fly to (UGH!) Newark? When there's Idlewild/Kennedy??

They have bloody mary in a can? Do they have Prince Albert in a can too?

Bro a doubt, are those called spoileron or flaperon? I thought it was called as flaperon

Can you visually see the difference between flaps 17 and 18 ?

"Peruse" means to study something in great depth. Is that what you're trying to say?

Wow United only has a320 and 19 airbus plane

I would not have traded a Plus seat for regular Economy. No.

Did the pilot request the flaps to go to position 5?

Please tell me your outro song

Is there any difference between economy and economy plus?

Those are their "new colours" ? Where. Still looks untra Continental to me. If any airline in the world that needs a new livery It's UA and DL.

Hi
