      Thank you so much! Have an amazing flight!! And I'm reading from other people in the comments that you're not supposed to take the pillow and blanket but I think it just depends on the flight attendants because they said nothing to me when they saw me take it. Maybe you're not allowed to the Business and First Class ones? Rules change all the time!

    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.

      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.

    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 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!🎉

    I'm getting ready to fly from Washington DC to Hanada on a plane like this. Thank you for sharing. So is it ok to take the stuff at the seat home? I thought the blanket had to be left. I' bringing an extra in case I'm cold.

      @travelpockets  5 місяців тому

      So I've been told by some people in the comments that I'm not allowed to take the blanket, but the staff clearly saw me taking it and said nothing. They may have changed the rules now where you have to leave the blankets? Enjoy your trip!!

    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  9 місяців 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  7 місяців 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 :(

    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  Рік 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?

    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.
