Sorry if I sound hoarse at the beginning... I was losing my voice and didn't realize it until later in the recording process. Also I think I found out what the deal with the nose cone was. Apparently airlines sometimes switch parts between aircraft. I've seen the same with with a lot of United engine cowlings.
I love it when United offers me a lounge trip pass add-on, even to a Basic Econ ticket, very useful during long layovers at SFO or a same-day return at night. $40 for a breakfast buffet on arrival, lunch buffet a few hours later AND finally a pre-flight dinner buffet that evening is a steal.
Very informative review, I'm flying on one of their A320s soon so hope I get a similar experience. What are your thoughts on the NEXT product making its way to the UA Airbus fleet as it stacks up to the MAX 8 that you've flown?
@@AirlineFlyer123 Glad to hear it was helpful. The A320 should have the same product as the one in this video other than lacking power outlets in economy (unless you get one of the few NEXT A320s). And speaking of the Airbus planes being retrofitted with NEXT, I am really looking forward to it. I’ve flown it on the MAX only, and sadly it’s not the most comfortable I’ve seen but it’s no worse than the old products (probably still better than the old ones, actually). Nevertheless the next interior makes United much more enjoyable to fly on.
UA went on a narrowbody second hang buying spree in the 2010s. Primarily 319s and 73Gs. Curious as to why you gave a 7 on the timeliness if the departure issue was not UAs fault and you still got into SFO 10 minutes early?
Oh I see. United acquired N874UA in 2020 but I assume it was one of the later ones then. Good question about the timeliness score. 7/10 is actually the typical score I give for on-time arrivals. I've taken quite a few flights that have arrived VERY early (I'm talking even 45 minutes early), and flights like that would get a 10/10 for timely performance. I also take the departure time into account, though like you said, in this case it wasn't United's fault which I probably should have addressed at the end. And yes, I very much appreciate United's on-time performance for this flight, though I may not have been as clear of about it as I should have. Thanks for watching!

Great trip report! I’m typing this from EWR waiting for my flight to Warsaw on LOT’s 787-9! Keep up the good work!
@@philsaviation_official Thanks! Have a good flight!
@@K4EdiamondThanks! Unfortunately it has been delayed for over 2 hours because of bad weather at Newark…
@@philsaviation_official aw dang
I gotta admit! Great video, but I won’t be flying for a while, cause my money 😔
