I will agree with people who went on Spirit Airlines. What happens is that it is a low cost airline and people were saying that Spirit Airlines were being unfair when you have to pay for the Big Front Seats or you are stuck with the cramp seats. They also charged you everything. I never been on Spirit Airlines luckly, I am avoiding it because Southwest Airlines is way better low cost airline than Spirit Airlines because Southwest Airlines will get you free snacks on board. The problem that I am having is people complaining about not having TV screens on every seat or the TV screen is not working and that annoys me when people were complaining about TV screens on every seat and @TheJazzGuy13 Aviation is complaining about the TV screen and that annoys me. There is a thing which is to bring your own device if TV screen does not work.

Funny thing the worst pressurization issue I've had was actually aboard a MAX from SAN to HNL. My ears stayed stopped up over 8 hours afterwards and they hurt too. First time that ever happened to me...and I flew on military 707s my whole career. Pilots may have forgot to reset cruise altitude if they climbed higher than the initial planned altitude.

Dam you were almost over my home city of Tampa before the Flight entertainment started to work. As usual great video!

Fantastic video man 😁👍🏼✈🇺🇸❤‼️

I haven't flown United's 737 series in a while. I do remember taking the -800 a lot. Also the -900 and -700 one time each, but I don't remember those flights enough for me to compare them to the -800. Nice flight report!

This was an OK flight that I’ve seen. But awesome video! Keep it up!

I have a flight booked on a UAL 737-800, let’s hope I get a better interior! 😅 great video! 👏🏼✈️

Well done video and fabulous hair, guy.

Two weeks ago we flew United 737-800 from ICT to DEN and you are exactly right. The legroom was almost non-existent. I’m 6 feet even and I might have had an inch of space between my knees and the seat back. Our next flight was on a 777 and it was much better. Thanks for the great reports Chris.

I love how he sometimes does the accents. Get him to 30k!

I flew a United 738 in the middle seat last month followed by a CRJ-200 connecting flight. I always thought CRJ-200s sucked, but wow, it felt downright spacious compared to the 738 flight before. I’m 6-2 and never felt so uncomfortable on a plane.

Excellent video Chris! That seemed like a mediocre flight!

I had to check to see if you're the same guy who flew SEA - BOI. After I saw it was you, I decided to watch the vid. There are a few flight reviewers on youtube who do nothing but complain about their flights, so when I saw the headline for yours I thought it was gonna be another one. But if you say it was dicey, I certainly believe it.

Showing some love for Southwest Florida!

You just wanted something to complain about. The interior has definitely been upgraded. And you paid a basic economy so you got what you paid for

You left Houston at the best time. Just after you left, the terrible winter storm came

United uses LiveTV on their older B737s which is what JetBlue uses for their PTVs across most of their fleet (some newer aircraft use a different IFE system.). LiveTV used to be a subsidiary of JetBlue but they've been part of Thales Avionics for around a decade.

One thing to be mindful is if you are on a UA 737 with DirecTv, the channels to use the screen are on the armrest that yourself or your neighbor might be resting their arm on the armrest and accidentally press that button that turns the screen on and off making you think your screen broke when in reality you just press the on button and then it turns on again, but I don’t know if that was the case on your flight. That exact tv they used to make economy passengers pay to watch by sliding the credit card, but they made that TV for free to all passengers on January 30th 2019! Also it sucks at IAH they were only departing on 27 and not on the 15 or 33 runways as it’s gotta be harder to get the planes out during rush hour with only runway 27 departures

Just wondering... at 4:01 you stated that United has 2 more different interiors on their 737-800s other than the old and new one. Are you sure about that? I only know about the interior with PTVs and the one without.

Travel hack/advice....Just turn your phones brightness up....DON'T LAY IT on the gate scanner. Instead just hold it 1 to 2 inches above the scanner and it should read just fine. You 'd be surprised (maybe even disgusted) watching how many ppl lay their phones on that scanner during boarding. 🎶"THE MORE YOU KNOOOW"🎶 🌈

I actually like United Airlines, especially since I live the closest to that headquarters. I would fly on any aircraft I book and hopefully it wouldn’t change on me too often. I would prefer that airline if I were to go to O’hare out of the two airports in the Windy City. It’s the only option for that airline.

I'm surprised that their -800 seats that many, 168. Southwest's -800/Max8 seats 175. No wonder you were so crowded.

Yet another reason why bringing your own inflight entertainment device is a good idea. Just in case.

I’m not even a fan of their first class on the 738. Flew it a few weeks ago and everything was broken and gross! The PTV was broken, the seat had a big rip, the folding tray table in the armrest had crusty yellow stuff all over it, the armrest had a split, brown specks on the window shade, and the window had an opaque oily sheen all over it. I was very disappointed.

Even Southwest's 737-800s have better legroom, and they market themselves as a low cost carrier. The only partial bonus was that my aircraft was still equipped with TVs on the seatbacks, but it was outdated (with DirecTV) and the remote was horribly built into the armrest.

Speaking as someone from the USA, the best things you can do with cabin inconsistencies is know that you might not be guaranteed the latest onboard product, specifically on airlines like Delta and United. However, if you want the most up-to-date interior on, let's say, Delta Airlines, try to go for a flight with their A321 or A220, since the first of those were delivered to Delta after their signature product was introduced. But be aware that some of their 737s and 757s still have the old seats with outdated PTVs. Similar situation with United. If you're on a 737NG, you'll never know what you'll get, same with their 757s. United's most consistent short/medium-haul aircraft interiors would be on the MAX 8 or A320 family.

Everyone wants PTVs but fail to recognize moments like this or the flaws with headphone jacks and screen sizes… it’s just easier and IMO better to bring your own device and stream entertainment that. Every review I’ve seen of airline PTVs has similar complaints… it’s never good enough.

I thought you only get a paper boarding pass with basic economy?

Stature and buttock-knee length are two separate things. Just because someone is tall doesn’t mean that is from their legs since it could also come from a tall sitting height. Glad to hear that you learned how to talk. And you are no longer a ghost (or just legs).

Question: If this is the worst United Mainline Jet, if you HAD to choose, would you rather fly on: A) this United jet again with this interior or B) any of American's comprable jets with their new Oasis interior.?

I really dislike flying this kind of aircrafts. In 2022, I flew United 737-800 from SFO to YYZ, it was a red-eye flight and I have barely any legroom, so I can barely sleep, and there's a baby bawling behind me which makes the trip even worse.
