    It is really nice to see United crew encourage such video making. They didn't know my presence in advance but they were quickly moved by my enthusiasm onboard. The nice crew have no issues of me filming in the galley and sharing their life stories. Captain Eric G really made my day! He was deadheading back to LA after we landed at EWR and offered me a walk around of the 787-10 with an escort!

We ourselves usually don't get the opportunity to get on one of the planes after it has been fully assembled, so its the next best thing to watch your videos. We are the ONLY site in the world to produce the 787 dash 10's, and we Charleston ians take great pride in that. One day I will take my own family on one to some great destination soon on vacation when this covid19 mess clears up. Keep up the good work!!

    Nice video showing off United's Polaris. The 787-10 is my favorite and their Polaris lounges are the best in the states. Very impressive onboard product (it's even better when you fly Polaris internationally) and their state of the art Newark hub is always my first choice into and out of NYC. AA and DL hope you're watching. You have some catching up to do.

      Been a longtime flyer of Continental, and then United after the merger. They pissed me off royally recently, and I told them flat-out, I'm going over to your biggest competitor. Been with DL for several months and have tried their Delta One and Premium Select offerings on international trans-Pac flights. My opinion is that it's just as good if not better than Polaris, especially the seat. If anything, United had tons of catching up to do, especially now that I watch some of the older videos featuring DL flights and see they've been several notches higher for a while now.

    I also flew the new B787-10 from LAX-EWR in mid-January (albeit in Economy Plus). As to be expected, the comfort level of the B787 was superb and I arrived in EWR feeling great. I feel more comfortable spending 8 hours in a 787 than 4 hours in any other aircraft. LA-NY is the most competitive route in the USA (maybe the world?) and this plane gives United a major leg-up in that race.
    Also major props to the entertainment system. On other planes the seatback system can be sluggish but this one was slick and responsive with lots of choices.
    Great flight and I will have booked the same plane again on my next LAX-EWR flight in March. May as well take advantage while this plane is still flying this route as I heard they are slated to move this to international routes eventually.

    Sam, you live in the lap of luxury :) The pilot and crew were awesome. That plane and engines were so quiet on takeoff and landing you could barely hear them. My Godfather worked for United for 33 years, at the SFO Maintenance Base (MRO/MBO) from the late 1950s to the early 1990s (becoming the welding and machine shop foreman in 1978). SFO was (and I think still is), the principal global maintenance base.

    Sam, I just flew on the A350-900 ULR on SQ from SIN to LAX and return. I was in Premium Economy and it was the best seat in my 30 years of flying. Given the chance I will always choose SQ. I used to be a long term United person but no more.
