In this video, well explore how United Airlines First Class has fared during 2020. What changes have come to the Friendly Skies? D. B. : I can't really say I was overly impressed with United's first class product flying domestically. it may have been due to the aircraft being one of their older B737-700s. or maybe something to do with the current situation going on. then again, I've never really been impressed with any of the Big 3 when it comes to Domestic First Class. atleast on narrowbody aircraft. the occasional widebody first class is definitely up to par, atleast when it's full service.

Fun fact Boise is where United Airlines started as Varney Airlines in 1926 although we dont get much mainline service anymore. I took this flight many times via 727 when I was younger, the early 1990s breakfast tray even in economy was quite good with fresh fruit, yogurt, orange juice, and a hot entree I remember it well. The jetway walls used to be lined with brightly colored carpet with United orange, red, and blue lines.

I feel like we should clarify. Yes, the act of air travel is indeed safe with high quality filtration and mandatory mask wearing.
The issue presents itself outside of the airplane, with no mandated face covering and self isolation we engager our families, friends, etc.
We must be super cognizant of the pandemic and take all necessary steps to prevent further spread.

Jeb. I traveled this past week for the first time since the outbreak. It was different for sure. While we were out of the country our state regulations changed. People may want to take that into consideration, the regulations are constantly changing and one never knows what they will be returning to. Also, I was secretly hoping to run into you in Atlanta during my layover. Thanks for all your posts!

I flew untied first class called ahead to order food cant eat eggs they noted my file to let catering know. Seats where good flight crew was very friendly. When food came it was a omelet. Told I couldn't eat it about 10 min later they brought food oh it was a white egg omelet. Then I got a Danish to eat. On first class really untied you have to do better. Good luck flying first class.

Jeb some of the best Icemen in the business are usually located at either ANC, SEA, JFK, YVR, YYZ, MSP, or ORD (In NA at least. If you have connections at any of the airports for your airport series. Id start there just make sure they have closed buckets unless you like getting drenched; ) Avoid mid Jan thru end of Feb tho, some of the closest wettest times.

In all my years of flying, I've never flown United and hope to one day. I've seen online that they've bought alot of used A319's and 737NG's, but don't understand why they don't just buy them new. I would understand that they might be trying to save money, but it would make more sense that way, buying new or getting the NEO or MAX.

For those who enjoying to fly as much as you do. why would inflight entertainment even be a factor? I would never catch myself watching a movie while flying. I can do that anytime on the ground. I'd be enjoying being in the air watching out the window. way better than staring at a comp screen

Sorry, U. S. carriers can call this first class but in reality, it's mediocre business class.
You can call a mule a thoroughbred but it's still just a mule.
Genuine first class exists on the likes of Emirates and Singapore Air, it's not to be found in North America.

The library and arcade are unique amenities. The departure board, theres a disused concourse at BWI where they have US Airways Express gates that have those kinds of signs. Ive only seen it used when they escort Boutique Air passengers to their plane.

I traveled almost every week when the middle seat block policy was effective. It was quite a satisfying experience. But now just wanna take a break till the pandemic slows down. Looks like ticket price hikes up compared to a few months ago.

JEB- Do you think that aviation will evolve and combine planes and helicoptors into hybrid flights for shorter and more population dense areas? I'm thinking the V-22 OSPREY and its offspring could eventually change the way aviation works.
reply

I took this trip before the current round of restrictions went into place. Only travel when its permissible by your jurisdiction and you feel safe doing so. Please know the aviation industry is taking great care to keep you safe.
reply

It is sad that airlines feel they need to reduce food/beverage service. This really makes them no better than the low cost carriers which means loss of revenue for them because if the LCC has a better schedule, fly the LCC!

Hi Jeb, love your videos! I just used a sequence of your video in my latest lounge review. Please let me know if that's ok. If not, I'll remove it that's no problem. Keep it up! Cheers, TOKO Explore

Unfortunately, I feel that United is the blandest and least interesting of all US domestic carriers. Everything from their livery, to their interiors, employee uniforms, etc. All meh.
reply

How do you know the aircraft was from China Air? Does the tail number remain the same regardless who operates the aircraft? Thanks for your insight. Always a good presentation.

20 yr old airbus planes look like they need refreshing or replacement soon! hope the new a320neo and a321neo are still comfy w more modern stuff like power better wifi
reply

Not too happy about just paying for a 1st class flight United after seeing this. My first 1st class flight is going to be amazing but this one is the Worst.
reply

At 5: 18 On the IFE that picture if an Airbus A319 looks an awful lot like a Boeing 787 Dreamliner! Haha!
Maybe double check that jet image United!

Great vlog as always! In Norway the have asked us not to travel. That has put back the timetable back to 1980 on most routes. Stay safe, and be safe!
reply

I don't think the services are the same everywhere. I was on a less than an hour flight last week on a UA Express CR2 and they served drinks on board
reply

Nothing you showed convinced me that flying is safe now. If I wear my mask then yes but I hate to wear my mask so I'll wait for the vaccine.
reply

What date was this flight? I was based at BOI doing aerial survey work for three weeks a few days ago. Im curious if this was while I was there.
reply

Nothing in economy under 2 hours? Yikes, thats a cheap move. Delta gives you a snack bag on all but the shortest flights in all classes.
reply

A319 would be Business class not First Class. And I'm surprised they offer a modified beverage service based on flight time and not mileage.
reply

I'm flying from salt lake city to orlando soon it's a 5 hour flight. Can you make a video on tips on how to make long flights a little easier.
reply

You got yourself a new sub
I just got approved for the explorer card have not flown first-class before planning on trying it in the future

reply

Im so glad spirits are available and Delta is even throwing 2 meals at me on my 9+ hour DeltaOne on a retrofitted 767-400 MSP-HNL.

For airports revealed, do a video on the New Manila International Airport (San Miguel Corporation Bulacan International Airport)
