- G’day, my name is Jayden, welcome back to my channel! This was my 33rd flight in 2023; in late April, I flew United Airlines Boeing 737-800 in First Class from San Francisco to Vancouver. I arrived into SFO on United Polaris so I was granted access to the United Polaris lounge at SFO. Enjoy the video & thank you so much for watching!

She is old but still has some old school wide seats. It is a workhorse for them. Time to upgrade United
Well Mr. Jayden, a new jacket and on a plane that is older than you! 🙂 Another great Trip Report Video, well done!
Haha it’s my dad’s old jacket🤣🤣 Thanks Wayne!
Wonderful report and welcome to my hometown Jayden! That was a beautiful takeoff from SFO and approach to YVR. I'm surprised that they did not offer hot meal for your flight. I also flew this route in 2019 in the same domestic first class and was given a hot meal back then.
Dang! They must’ve increased the minimum miles for flights with meal service since 2019. For a flight over 2 hours I deffo expected a meal!
Hi Jayden thank you for the video like you said seat on plane was old looking but did look comfortable. You accommodation was really nice good to catch up with friends.
Great trip report as usual and some very good footage just after the takeoff 👍🙂
24 year old 737-800, you sure you were flying United and not Pan-AM 😉- I will never again complain about Virgin and Qantas fleet.
Some of QF 737’s were built in 2001 so approaching 24 years now
Woah! those are some small screens for business class.
Fly safe. Have an amazing day. Cheers.
One of your best!
thank you!!
Great trip report! love Vancouver!
thank you James!!
Cool Video! I have plans to fly on United's Boeing 757-300 in August from Chicago to Orlando for a cruise in the Caribbean. I'll film a trip report on that.
Great video, Jayden! The lounge looked great. It's nice they have a restaurant even though it is pretty small. The cabin looked really old. However, I like the old first class seats than the newer ones. They tend to be more comfortable. Too bad your flight was 1 mile too short for a meal! 😊 Hope you enjoyed your time in Canada!
Yep I agree it was more comfortable. Better cushion I think :) Thanks Mike!
Great review!
thanks Shawn!!
I’ll never complain about how old some of the Qantas planes are after seeing your video. I don’t think I’d be comfortable on a 24 year old plane! 🤷♀️
😂😂😂 delta planes are surprisingly well maintained. Some are 30+ years old and looking fresh inside
You're so cute with your wide smile after reclining your seat.. i love it
😊 thank you
Thanks again for another report!! Lounge was nice but yeah plane was pretty old (And "I thought I caught COVID for the third time" LOL!)
One of the busiest lounges I've ever seen 😲
Wouldn't have thought the 24 year old 737 would be fitted with the split winglets
11:48 I've seen those type of coat hook before, you can find them on the Fokker 100's
19:40 OMG a clock tower with steam train whistle XD
❤❤❤
Entertainment at the Best 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍. Good Job🙏
thank you!! :)
Great video as always Jayden, the airport lounge and food looked good. Lol, I had a giggle 😂at the whiskey 🥃 comment 😅
thanks for watching! I totally felt him, been there, done there😂😂😂
18:47 I think you might have broken the door Jayden 😂😂
Looks like it came of its hinges.
oi keep quiet!
can’t let the host see this😂
Geee the 737 was older than you??? 😂 loved the aerial view of SFO☺️
Ikr haha!! must be a dinosaur if older than me😂🤣
Continental was my childhood airline, United's non Sky Interior 737s are nostalgic, and they actually give a cozy vibe, the cabin is a familiar liminal space. That said, NEXT retrofits for 737NGs will start with a 737-800 that does not have Sky Interior, and there are so many ways to retrofit a non-BSI 737
I personally think that seat model is great. Yes it's old, but so much better than many other similar ones.
I liked it too. It’s thicker than most modern ones. You really feel the difference when you recline
Great review as always.
That aircraft is just plain embarrassing! 😮
thanks Chris!!
Enjoyed your Video as always... I have been working my Trips before 16 June, so second half of June I will be off. Take Care !!!
Do enjoy your second half of June😍 flying anywhere for leisure?
@@JaydenWong No, but will Train to my Cousin's Home in the Countryside for a few days visit. Thanks for asking !!!
@@ronknoke5400 enjoy the train and holiday😁😁
US airlines really lacking in their domestic service. Also that landing footage is stunning
U.S carriers don't know what First-class service is, or Business class either!
But it's perhaps better than what passes for business class within Europe!
I guess their model is so different. Many in the US get free upgrades and they expect it. It’s mostly for the biggest seat onboard if not economy plus
@@JaydenWong ye I mean American domestic air travel is clearly efficient and does the job, I assume more focussed on getting people from A to B
CBP ❤❤❤ 5:36
Hi Jayden.
Well I must admit , I reckon the business class cabin looked like a cross between Virgin and Qantas ! 😂
...but with the added advantage of a very....slow.....IFE. !🥺
A bit of a disappointment that no meal was served on this flight. My only comparison in Australia , would be the Melbourne to Gold Coast route , where a meal is served in business class !
But those original 737 old gals are a great old workhorse of the airline industry ! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks Bobby!!
United find a way to make these old 737s last forever it seems.
Indeed. United just started retrofitting 737-800s with NEXT
Can you connect a headset with a cable or Bluetooth to your seat entertainment system? I saw that you showed the power connection briefly but that was it.
sorry I forgot to show, but you can use the headsets they provide or use your own. Bluetooth is only available on the MAX planes
Those are THICC seats.
❤❤❤❤ CBP
This is cool I like the 737s of united also are you going to do a trip report on emirates any time soon?
yep within a month time!!
@@JaydenWong Nice Enjoy the trip its my favorite international airline!
My old home Vancouver. The Steamclock!
😍 never gets old ahha
That is disgraceful that they don’t give you hot food on a 2 1/2 hour flight even though it’s 1 mile short of their hot meals. at least you got complementary food in the Polaris lounge❤️✈️
They charge more
I know right, ONE mile!! ☹️ Polaris lounge was nice! Would love to go back soonish🤣
Hi Jayden. Welcome to YVR. Are you still in Vancouver?
What do you use to edit your thumbnails?
AC has hot meals on this route 🇨🇦
Time warp for that 737. If the runway at SFO was just one mile longer Jayden gets a hot meal.
haha right!!!
Out of my many flights arriving or leaving US or between US cities I've never seen cops checking each passenger's boarding pass prior to boarding, at least in HNL, SEA, DFW, DAL, BUF, MDW, and OGG. Seems like a not-so-common protocol?
im early af
🥵😮💨😮💨
First it has been "cohooks", now we have branched out into "towel hooks". I think Jayden is on a worldwide investigation into the various types of hooks? 😃
😂😂🕵🏻♂️
Just booked my Delta premium economy April 2024 for me cruise out of YVR
Nice!! hope you’ll like it. I sat in premium from LAX to ATL in January and it was pretty good. The headphones were the best
@@JaydenWong I'll be traveling MCO - MSP - YVR. Back the same way 😁
Jayden keeps checking the luggage as it is loaded looking for his ?
Hey Jayden, when will you fly to South Korea using Korean Air?
soon i hope :)
❤❤❤ CBP 18:15
What was the oldest plane you ever took?
What nationality are you? You seem to be flying to all the continents!
hong kong and british :)
RIP one world flyer squad
18:25 this was painful to watch. If you turn the knob up - the window tilts back, allowing for air to come in. If you turn it to the left - it opens like a normal window, and in down position it's closed.
😂😂😂 I had those in my Berlin hotel last year. So it was funny to see my mate struggling the first time
Gosh, the food offerings are pathetic even on international flights! 😅
Technically speaking this would be an international route but in North America both US and Canada are considered "domestic." US domestic (with maybe a few exceptions) has been like this for ages. Back in the 1980s I took EA (Eastern Airlines - now closed down) F class ATL-MIA and, again, just a small and simple cold meal.
That's their First Class? More like Premium Economy. Not too flash!
It's better than AA domestic first
ISNT THIS meant to be business class not first class?
United sells it as First. Air Canada is business class
Great video, but a scruffy plane…..and a scruffy FA. United need to do better.
Trust me... This seat model is vastly superior to a lot of the newer ones.
Geez. who designed those soviet era uniforms for the flt attendant's. look very similar to the new Dl uniform too. Horrible.
‘soviet era uniforms’😂😂😂
I prefer the older DL uniform too
What absolutely awful inflight service!
❤❤❤
