      Well, I'm hearing from some people that you're not allowed to but the flight attendants didn't stop me from taking them even though they saw me. I guess it all depends on the staff's mood?

    I'm flying United Premium Plus for first time to Croatia in a few months I'm so excited for trip but excited to have comfortable seats with lots of leg room I'm getting were I can't stand to be in economy for flights longer than 5 hours so glad you made this vlog.

    Economy Premium is the sweet spot! MUCH less expensive but with a wider seat, foot rest, drinks, etc. I totally agree! Surprised Japan Air gave us First class lounge access, First class grp 1 boarding, etc.

      Thank you so much! United seems to have more flight options to Narita from Tampa these past couple of years, so that's why I go with them. I prefer Delta or JAL, but I haven't seen many flight options with them recently or they are super expensive.

    Thank you for posting this detailed video. Basically, touching on every question we could have!
    Our family is going to Amsterdam and looking into purchasing seats in premium plus, and it seems like a no-brainer.
    We don't fly often, so forgive me If this is a silly question, but I noticed only one monitor in the bulkhead seats on the wall.
    I'm just wondering if the monitors for the bulkhead seats are actually inside the arm or something. I'm not sure I don't want assume.
    Thanks again and you have a new subscriber here!🎉

    Thank you so much for the info. So helpful. Could you share your experience with your feet and the person in the middle seat? My husband and I only have those 3-seat available to us. We chose the two aisle seats, hoping nobody will pick the middle seat. Seems like the middle seat has decent space from your video. In your opinion, would you pick one aisle and one middle or two aisles on two ends?

    • @travelpockets
      @travelpockets  2 місяці тому +1

      If you're worried about space underneath the seat, the middle seat definitely has more. I can't remember if the other aisle seat had more room or not but generally, the middle or window seat has more space underneath.

    I plan to travel from Texas to Seoul with United Airline. Do you book the premium economy or regular economy first and then upgrade? I heard many time upgrade is cheaper .

    • @travelpockets
      @travelpockets  14 днів тому

      I usually book it beforehand. It could be cheaper if you upgrade. But recently, the Premium Economy seats on international flights are way more expensive than that it was a couple of years ago which is very disappointing :(

    It was my first time flying United premium plus the other day heading to Vietnam. Normally I fly business class I made sure I got the front row seat cause I’m tall and long leg. It was comfortable. I would fly it again.

    I think the seat support intruding into your foot space night be due a standard position of the support is secured to the floor.. Premium Plus was in a 2x3x2 config. Regular economy on a 787 (I think you were on one of those) is 3x3x3. More seats and narrower. So the brackets may line up better in the economy section.

    I’m confused on the United Premium Plus seats and what comes with it. I’ll be booking a flight from Chicago to Honolulu soon, and some videos I’ve watched of reviews show a Saks pillow and blanket with an Away amenity kit while other videos show no amenities. How will I know if these extras will be on my flight or if the seat will not include these extras?

    • @travelpockets
      @travelpockets  7 місяців тому +1

      It all depends. You won't know which amenity you're getting until you get on the flight. Since Chicago to Honolulu is not technically considered an international flight, you might be getting something different?
