United Trans-Pac Economy - Melbourne-Sydney-Los Angeles and UA Y LAX-LAS

[sqdazz]

TOTALLY BORING I KNOW!! Imagine it, United in economy from Melbourne to Sydney to Los Angeles.... then onwards to Las Vegas. Well I have to say, yes it's not exactly luxurious but it was not as bad as I had anticipated in the lead up to departure. Plus, the fare (Which was a MEL/JFK/MEL fare) was only AUD1100. Can't complain really, since it included a good 25,000 FF miles for the price! This trip was on Halloween, 31 Oct 2009.

Anyway here is the report in 2 parts recently added to my 3 months out of date blog pages....

Melbourne to Los Angeles via Sydney

Los Angeles to Las Vegas

Enjoy!

Nice pics there . Must have been really boring on such a long flight and no PTV huh? And this may sound a bit silly, but are the meals free or you have to purchase them?

Enjoyed the report Been a while since I've been to the US so pretty good to bring back some memories there!

I took a SIN-IAD-SIN flight 2 weeks ago on United (can't find the time to do a trip report ) and I was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty bearable.

You were on the 777, which had the PTV, all the way, so it should be more bearable than the 747 without PTV.

I was on the 747. Let's just say u got loads of sleep

I managed to snag about 8 hours sleep on the way back, I don't know how I managed it, neck pillow and extreme tiredness helped I guess.

The LCD screens they have installed are a big step up from the older system, and the movies and shows they played were quite a good selection, so it's not totally boring!

I'll finish reporting my USA trip over the next few days hopefully and will post it again when Im done, the rest of the trip was LAS-LAX-JFK-LAX-SYD-MEL. Stayed at hilton vegas and doubletree times square, will give my verdict on those later.
