dddave Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yesterday, I returned to Bangkok from Chicago on an ANA itinerary. The ORD-NRT leg (12 hours) was UA-881, an old 747-400 with no individual IFE or power outlets in economy so if you plan on this route, bring a tablet and a battery back-up...or a good book.

GinBoy2 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Not wanting to be great defender of United, but if you travel in the upgraded business class, I'd say it's as good as it gets. Now I don't often travel with UA these days and I'm certainly not discussing the quality of the flight attendants, just the cabin layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I flied UA a lot until the they dropped BKK-NRT route. Liked the B786 service NRT-LAX, and with Star Alliance Gold automatic upgrade to premium economy. Once they dropped BKK-NRT it became unbearable in ANA coach and I stopped using them. I still have four lounge passes I'd sell for $25 (THB 900) each if anyone has an interest... Edited September 25, 2015 by mogandave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrilled Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The last time I flew UA it transferred me to ANA in japan to BKK.I couldn't eat that Asian food.Luckily I brought food with me. Maybe enough to people have complained maybe some International food now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I find the Business-First seats on the 787 to be cramped both in terms of reclined length and room for your feet. Don't like the cabin size of the 777. I don't fly United any more. Service is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hello, UA dropped the NRT-BKK portion in March 2014. They still fly between NRT and Singapore, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
