  • 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!

    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.

    • @JaydenWong

    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!

    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

    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 ! ❤

    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?

      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.
