Kind of amazes me that WN carries more passengers than UA. I fly on both the UA MAX 8/9 nonstop between CLE & LAX on a fairly regular basis in First & have no issues flying on them. I retired from the airline industry 20 years ago that I began in the 1970s. First class (I know it's referred to a lot as Business today) is nothing like the service provided 50/60 years ago. Of course, fares have come down a lot over the past decades but food was served throughout the flight upfront, according to the meal course. Avgeeks would have a field day back them; Caesar salads prepared seat side, prime rib carved, etc., all on fine China. I do like that UA allows you to choose from 6 meal selections a couple of days in advance of your flight. Awww, to fly a 707 or DC-8S again!

I love all 737 Max aircraft and would fly it every day if I could..

United is a quality airline. One of the best trips I've flown with them was NRT-ORD on a 747-400 (it was a few years back - they don't fly the 747 anymore). Great airline, great aircraft and great crew!😎😀

I love, love United Airlines, I've had such great experiences especially when going and coming back from Tokyo last year, what a service, what a great flight experience and even the meals were 3000% better than I ever imagined. Kudos to this video.

Excellent report. The meal was well presented and inviting. The salad seemed very fresh. Good on United. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

O’Hare looked nice. That armrest was filthy though. Pilot didn’t waste any time on the runway!!

I have no problem with the max 8. I have flown on the 8 and 9:00 several times with both Southwest Airlines and united. I feel that it is still safer than driving and Airlines can't make a living if their planes are crashing so I feel safe flying on them with the airlines that have them

Thanks for the video! Im flying on a 737 max 8 soon. Im pretty sure I've flown on it before but for some reason im quire nervous about getting on one now (maybe cuz of all the news) but seeing this video and everyones enthusiasm and trust over the aircraft gives me a little more peace of mind. Maybe I'll even upgrade to business class!

I still fly Boeing 737 max great videos as always class😊

Even w/ SAS’s departure from Star Alliance & Asiana’s takeover by Korean Air, United is still the best U.S. airline.

I have flown a Max 8 twice with Southwest. Quiet and Comfortable and I have no qualms about flying it in the future. Anyway, probably the safest plane in the sky just now with all the scrutiny it has received of late.

I would have no hesitation flying on any of the 737 Max series aircraft. I've flown on several already and had no reason to feel unsafe. Let's face it over the years there have been many aircraft that initially got off to a rocky start from a safety point of view and they ended up being perfectly fine and very much loved.

United Airlines are awesome great service friendly cabin crew 😊

I have to fly a MAX PHX to JFK in a few weeks. As a nervous flyer thanks for the reminder that they still are safer than driving!

WAY safer. You'll be fine.

My experience flying UA over the years has been that the entire flight from check in to arrival has been either all great or all bad, the food service being the deciding part of the trip. The meal you got was an Economy class meal served as Economy class, that was not First Class service. It was nice but not worth the cost! But in all fairness, no US carrier measures up to offering FC service. If I had a choice of carriers to fly on, UA would be my last choice but since AA and DL would also rank as last, UA would still be last of the 3. You mentioned you were flying DL A220 on to Seattle. Are you familiar with the A220? It isn't the same as the 737 Max 8 as it is much smaller. I hope you had a good trip on the A220. Thanks for sharing your trip and as long as you were happy with UA, that is the main thing!

I flew on 737 max 8 last month going from Toronto to Vancouver and I feel like there is no problem flying on it when pilots retrained on the MAX from NG

Terminal 1 is so much better than terminal 3.

Nice report....thank you. But why the circuitous from PHX to ORD to FAI? Wasn't there a flight through SFO or DEN?

Currently United only operates to Fairbanks via Chicago though they do have Denver flights starting soon

Hi. I work at ORD in the same parts you were in. Did you fly to Fairbanks for anything other than just to fly? Lol. I have flight benifits myself and plan on flying a lot more.

So you had to fly from Chicago to Fairbanks to get to Seattle, why not Chicago nonstop to Seattle?

Didnt know United even flew into Fairbanks, i figured only Alaska airlines.

You didn’t get offered a flat bed at “ First class “ but it looks like business class.

Americans don't know the difference between First Class and Business Class. It has all features like a Business Class.

The distance flight ✈️ time is similar to Peru 🇵🇪

kevin! ha

I would believe United is quality airline but , as you can see here, attendants don't do meeting of passengers at entry . In my flight with United I had stock on entry by butt of attendant - she been banded while taking something from lower cabinets and her ass was first what you can see at the door.

I like SPRIT SouthWest Air Plane

United was a quality airline until they started focusing on nonsense like DEI. Let me be clear. I am a woman. I DON'T care what color the pilot is or what gender he/she is. My concerns are that the pilot is PROPERLY EDUCATED and EXPERIENCED. That's it. I'm grabbing the popcorn as I watch companies destroy themselves with the DEI, climate change, and social score nonsense.

United compared to many of the other carriers is overpriced and very corporate. You are not anyone special to them.
