Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Nice! Flying UA 763 and 787-10 in early 2022 EWRLAX, pretty excited. Fun fact: my dad just hit 2.3 million miles with United! Platinum for life!
Just flew the United 737 Max 8 in first class EWR-LAS. The experience was AMAZING! Glad United is finally investing in the customer experience on board. Hope American and Alaska follow.
Alaska won’t follow for sure, American might but they are all over the place.
American will never lol
@@zoebells767 yeah
@@JmanAviation both of them won't
@@JmanAviation Yup... I don't see alaska doing this any time soon (which is fine for them considering they never had it in the first place), but as for american, I remember reading somewhere that they were gonna be "forced" by United and Delta to put them back...
Delta is in trouble! United copied Delta's playbook and leaped ahead during the pandemic.
I agree!
Just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing content.
What an improvement UA, the leg room the IFE is super terrific, keep it up
I just returned from a domestic flight on AA. It was nothing beyond ordinary. Given that Delta and United are going with seat back IFE to enhance their customers’ flight experience, the question for AA is what makes your customer flight experience better than United or Delta for domestic travel?
Great trip report as always!
Fantastic trip report as always!😸
Really nice trip report - excellent job. I fly my first MAX next month to DEN. I like the new interior especially with the blue mood lighting.
This is amazing!
I’ve always enjoy(ed) flying United. Excited to see they’re making these type of major upgrades. Hopefully I catch one of these cabins on one of my next flights! 🙏🏾
United is trying to be more customer friendly. The fleet needs an upgrade. I fly first and on most 737s, the IFE, when available is old, and most of the time, the headphone jacks and charger don't operate. Looking forward to the new cabins.
Listening to any engine rev up like that never gets old!!!!
Keep up the good work!
Really nice interior. I love the fact you allow us to hear the engine start and spool up for takeoff. The lighting is especially nice and the individual IFE screens is great. You had the whole row to yourself, very cool. I was able to get an entire row to myself in economy on a flight from SFO to HNL on the old World Airways DC-10. Well fact of the matter is I was one of only 8, yes 8 passengers on the flight. Yes on long domestic flights they need to offer food service, no more using COVID as an excuse. Great flight and review. Thanks
@@JarosRC And for those that don't have time to eat prior to the flight or don't want to eat because it's a 6:00AM flight, well just let them go hungry. But wait, that will lead to food insecurity and most likely food inequality and could be racist.
Amazing video!
Love seeing more and more people flying the on the 737 MAX… I’m trying one of American’s new 737 MAX 8’s in their new economy cabin in a few weeks and I’m so excited!
Cheers from Caleb
👍🥂😎💺
I flew from Newark to Vegas few days ago on the max 8. Was able to upgrade to economy plus for free, I'm guessing folks are still reluctant to fly the max 8... they were plenty of seats available days before the flights. The max 8 have a quiet engine. The take off and landing was smooooth!
May I ask why people are reluctant? Thanks.
@PinkSummer imo, due to the lack of trust for the max 8. The administration grounding of the max 8 because of the 2 crashes.
@@edwinsimmons7148 oooh okay. Didn't know about the two crashes.
Enjoyed your vlog.
I flew on United’s Max 8 recently and the experience was amazing! Great video! 👏🏼✈️
I can't get over that intensely stunning blue mood lighting🤩
Go UNITED!!!
I can't wait for that interior on an A321XLR, that will be amazin
I think the business class will have better seats
United is getting more up each day!
I really like the call out to the oasis burn… nice touch.
Yes the CEO of AA was wrong on IFE issue and has been for years even in his USAirways days. It's one of things that diferniaties the " full service" carrier vs Spirit etc. DL was the first to figure it out it helps them get a revenue premium. I have largely moved my business from AA to UA since they are actually investing in the product.
I’ll be flying from Philadelphia - Denver on this plane. Can’t Wait!!
United is the best airline in the world!!! If you fly other carrier poor of you !!! Go stronger United!!!
Emirates am i a joke to u
0:00 That is a very cool shot!
7:46 I died laughing
I agree with your assessment of UA's new interior for the Max 8. It's a really nice upgrade to their current narrowbody, non-PS offerings. Although it's a small request, I do wish however, that UA crews would follow in the footsteps of their jetBlue and Delta counterparts, by also stating where they are based, during their after landing announcements. I guess I am just always curious about that. Anyway, thank you for yet another excellent trip report!
I had our UA crew do that at the end of my DEN-BOS flight! Thank you from this Boston and San Francisco based UA crew.
@@shaunganley That's cool! I know it's not the end of the world if they don't announce their bases, but I'm always pleased when the crews share that information.
@@shaunganley They’re reppin their turf.
I used to do that after each of my flights! Glad to hear you like it! It’s more of an industry thing than an airline thing! I’ll make sure to start again!
@@corayye4099 Much appreciated!!
With this kind of trajectory, you might as well rebrand the airline to Continental.
Interesting, it looks like United backtracked on the purple Economy Plus seats that are in the first few MAX 8 aircraft.
Yup, good choice
I just flew on this to fort Lauderdale Florida in January before my birthday 🎂
Rare sight for San Diego not landing through downtown!
Wow. United is definitely stepping up their game, no cap. Especially with brining back the seatback IFE, unlike American Airlines. Once they get a majority of their short/medium haul fleet equipped with this new cabin, they could even compete with Delta! I'd love to try their 737 max 8 some time.
I'm planning to fly first week in May of 2023! With United flying to Virginia Dulles Airport!
United’s Max 8 and new interior is amazing! And that’s pretty rare to land to the east at SAN like that. Why was that? Was the wind too strong out of the east, or was the fog too low? Seemed pretty surprising
nice video
EWR STILL CLOSTER TO MANHATTAN THAN JFK
It takes me about an hour, terminal to Penn Station either way. Newark is a bit run down/old school. They are starting to remodel Term A and talk of updating their AirTrain, but that's a ways off.
I just flew a new max 8 to Ewr it was soooo nice! Also flew a delta 321 and that was also nice but if I had to choose it would be with the New max I was scared to fly it initially but then flying back home on a 737 900 the difference is huge!
West to east landing at SAD! Nice! Was that because of the low marine layer? Don't see too many vids of that.
Yup! In my many years of flying to San Diego this is only my third time ever approaching this runway, first time we ended up diverting to LAX (I also have a video on that), but yes it was caused by the low marine layer making the approach into 27 unfeasible due to the need for visual contact with the terrain.
Just made a round trip between Newark and Charlotte returning last Sunday (12/18/22) on an exact 737 Max 8 sitting two seats in front of you in 8F. Agree with everything you said especially about the Seat-back IFE and immense entertainment selections. Didn’t get a chance to try out their wifi since it was only a two hour trip. Looked like you had problems. Also, you failed to mention their new oversized overhead bins where you can store your carryons sideways thus providing for more space…but, the only negative I had was I could not fit my carry on backpack under the seat as I have done on all planes I have flown on since buying it back in 2016. There seems to be a seat support that lessens the width plus less height under the seat to completely slide my backpack under. The flight attendant had to stow my backpack in the overhead bin both coming and going, thus depriving me of access to books, snacks, travel documents and my IPad during flight. (I did take it out on return flight knowing what was likely to happen). I will therefore need to purchase a narrower smaller backpack for future flights on United. One other issue that didn’t affect me. Do not, I repeat do not choose any seats past row 25. All the overhead bins were full past that point and the flight was delayed a bit because they had to check carryons. They also asked for volunteers to check their carryons on return trip because of same. They said they needed 15 people to volunteer to check their carryon. I assume it was cost free. Most people now a day don’t check bags unless long flight with lengthy stay over. Need to reduce cost to encourage more people to check bags. Otherwise, everything was great and I will be looking to fly United’s 737 Max 8’s (Economy + seating) again provide $$ is reasonable.
I think that people and pilots really like the 757. Makes one wonder if the NMA might be based on that popular model.
Taking a Max8 from IAH to EWR tomorrow.
I flew United on their Premium Economy 787 seats, their Economy 777 seats, and their first class E170 seats. I will say, United blew me out of the water each time. I used to dread flying United, and now I feel the need to fly them more often. While their 777 economy seats are absolutely tight and awful, there was so much to watch on those flights and the overall experience was pleasent, in some ways, I feel they even beat Delta.
AA do has to learn. I flew them on economy to Orlando and they were just so awful. Awful IFE (on the only flight of 4 where I had it), awful customer service, yeah AA needs to learn. I'm flying United and Delta more now.
UA's MAX cabin looks fabulous! My very first flight on a MAX is coming up next month, but not on UA. I live near Seattle, WA, and the best I could do for now is get a ride on one of Alaska Airlines' MAX 9's...no seatback screens...sigh. I'm also going to San Diego, although from Seattle it's only about a 2 hour, 45 minute flight (gate to gate I assume, not actual air time). After arriving in San Diego, I hope I can get a look at the flight deck. (I did that last time I flew Alaska, and they allowed it; that was on an A320, my first time ever on an Airbus.) So hopefully, I'll be lucky again, as I really, really want to see that MAX cockpit in real life, not just in photos, as I have so far....👨✈️👩✈️🙂
No one talks about this but thank you united for installing a true divider between economy and first! DL and AA install those stupid plastic shields
Is it just the MAX 8 that has the dark blue safety cards or did United recently put those in the MAX 9 and other planes too?
Having only 2 AC outlets for every 3 seats is a non-issue on any aircraft equipped with IFE for two main reasons; 1. You don't need to charge a personal device when screening onboard entertainment, and 2. USB port is sufficient to charge a phone on a 5-6 hour flight. On top of that, most people do not use large electronics on board anyway.
Awesome video! Do the bulkhead seats have individual IFE screens?
Yes in the armrest:)
Not like the blue/purple light .Cold chilling feel.
Do the bulkhead seats still have TVs with USB power?
Was just on a UA MAX9. No IFE in economy. A 2 hr mechanical delay out of IAD too.
MAX 9's will get the IFE. Mechanical delays are not the airline's fault, no matter the airline.
Here's why it's called new york. York is a city in the united kingdom in 1776 the united states beat the British or Brits for short and got independence in 1776 and the first capital was new york don't get confused New York is United states York is the united kingdom.
I'm first
Is their anyway to tell if you’ll be on a updated airplane before you get on
Maybe AA can learn a thing or two from United and their IFE system ❤️👍✈️
They won't that's the prob
I think AA’s IFE over-device is fantastic and miles better than United. They don’t have IFE screens quite often, but it shows in their investment in personal device IFE
@@kunalmishra9463 i hate it though
@@abshivkumar2549 Why?
@@kunalmishra9463 I prefer to have a ife screen rather than using my own phone
I love how a decent chunk of this was just him hating on American
Hey do you remember where you were coming in from on that B752? I was also inbound to EWR on a 757 that same day around the same time, curious if it was the same flight. Small world!
Coming in from MIA! Got a video on that flight coming soon!
Title: economy
Actually: economy plus
Cmon man just tell the truth
B 737 Max has recently got reapproved by China for service. Anyone can tell me how many countries have allowed the B737 Max to fly?
Hope every Airlines will have bluetooth in thé coming years !
I’m so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station has evolved to: I’m so hungry I could eat sushi from an airport.
Hey hey! in my defense this was a step up from supermarket sushi haha.
@@ITripReport lol
😋Well I’ll try some ewr sushi on my next trip then. 👍
How did you find the ascent?? Particularly steep? I thought that was the issue in the first place for the MAX. It seemed normal to watch! Boarding one (Air Canada) in a couple weeks!
If anything, I found the MAX to feel a lot more smoother during takeoff than the 737 NG. The biggest issue with the aircraft was the airflow into the wings at a steep angle (much more steeper than what the plane will ever encounter in a normal flight). I really hope you enjoy the air Canada max! I'm flying one in a few months
Is airport sushi on par with gas station sushi...just kidding but I do have a question. Are the headrests adjustable? Do they flip (on the sides) and/or move up and down? Thanks.
He puked his brains out from that sushi.
Why are the headrests in eco plus black, aren’t the max 8 headrests purple?
They changed their mind and reverted to blue
The lighting seems incredibly vivid blue. Is it really that bright blue or is it a trick of the camera ?
it's even more Blue in real life!!😂
“Blue light is needed for good health: It boosts alertness, helps memory and cognitive function and elevates mood. It regulates circadian rhythm - the body's natural wake and sleep cycle. Exposure to blue light during daytime hours helps maintain a healthful circadian rhythm.” United has really done their homework here and made the investment to add blue light to better travel experience on a physiological and psychological level... Incredible
Is this plane removing the screen someday
I spy a tap air a330neo in the back
No doubt you probably were close to exhaustion after arrival--leaving EWR in the early evening,arriving at SAN around 9pm PT, your body clock would say its bedtime,what with EWR being around midnight! Surprised UA doesn't at least offer buy-on-board meals since your flight did leave around dinner time,wonder what FC was offered? Knowing that San Diego was your former hometown, did you overnight with friends or family?
South west would have pass out a box lunch for a flight that long
The only problem with United's new cabin is that given that it seems that the economy plus headrests are back to the old colors, (which is aesthetically better and whoever decided to use the old colors, great on you), the purple headrests on the early MAX 8s will be a spot of inconsistency. Hopefully United can replace the purple headrests on those old MAXes with those blue headrests and repurpose the purple leathers into fanny packs or something.
Is it just me or did the color of the economy plus seats change from purple to blue 🤔
oh aside from the cabin shots, which I recycled for the sake of context, did have purple seat covers. They replaced them with blue in later builds
Flew the United Max 8 in 2018 right before the groundings from IAH-SAN. I also recently flew Southwest Max 8 from HNL-OGG
I'll be honest I haven't flown on the Max 8 yet but I plan to do so soon when I get a chance when I do I'm going to sit in first class,economy class or business-class whatever is great
Well there’s only domestic business (known as first class in the US) so it’s one or the other
@@GenAvAviation any idea how much it costs to sit there?
At about 4:57 there is a woman singing. Was someone listening to music without headphones or was someone sing while the aircraft was boarding?
Oh it’s background music playing through the PA, they usually do this during boarding and deplaning
I’m not flying the max eighth max ninth or the max 10 for 4 year since it came back in to serve still don’t trust it
Same here
You should give us an update on all of your elite status’s AND your lifetime miles with each airline!
AVGAS Brazil
Great video but for the person sitting in front of you and all passengers on IFE screen equipped aircraft, stop tapping and scrolling with your finger tips so hard. Light taps work just as well! ANYWAYS look at United thats the kind of interior deserving of the Max I'm impressed its Uniteds!
I flew the max 8 once... On American it was bad compared to this
I highly prefer the Delta experience... They have ALWAYS had seat-back screens and the overall experience feels nicer than United. United (and American) feel too close to Southwest for my liking. When given the choice... I'm a Delta guy.
Delta is horrible, didn’t refund my flight tickets after delaying for 5 hours, then cancelling. AA isn’t the best, but I’ve had less delays than delta and United has been perfect. Cheaper than delta and basically the same product
Sad, very sad, no meal service on this flight.
Very quiet!
Very impressive 👏 but I think there is always room for improvement, in my opinion United should make the "handsfree" restrooms like in the dreamliners also, it could be great if they will provide a free low speed wifi and self snack and beverage service like in Jetblue. So far I see big improvement.
It needs enough fuel!
Imagine getting sushi at the airport 😒
As I expected. Ur no 1K as u previously claimed to be.
