Originally posted by 9V-SIA View PostNice TR. Thanks!
After all the complaints by US based flyers, I was expecting the worst
However, I was impressed with the hard product, specifically Y+, which is superior to SQ/MI Y seats
They even offered IFE (direct TV) on ex CO aircraft
Pilots were impressive. Poor visibility but super smooth landings
When you mentioned MI I thought of the Silkair flights I had to endure from Singapore to Hyderabad...4+ hours on an A319 with no IFE! UA's p.s. hard product is far superior. Hopefully Silkair's new 737's are better suited for these longer routes...

This is truly an exception for UA. The routes I fly within the US (IAH-EWR/LGA, IAH-ATL, ATL-EWR, EWR-SEA) are either flown with 737 dash 800s and the Embraer RJ145. Terribly tight seats. And with no status on UA and possibility of a free upgrade, I have to either use my miles to get upgraded to their F/J especially on longer routes or pay a few extra dollars for Y+ (which is actually a good deal until I realise that I've paid over US$1K for a 4-hour IAH-EWR flight, which happens if I book late).
Not many opportunities for me to fly the smaller regional jets, so I am quite happy to get on the occasional Embraer RJ -- the novelty hasn't worn off yet. I don't think I would enjoy those flights if I had to do them on a regular basis, though!
I still remember one flight LA to San Diego on a UA Embraer EMB120 Brasilia turboprop...flight aside, the United FA on that flight was amazing. She took drink pre-orders before take-off and served everyone a drink of their choice after take-off on this short flight. And this was Y...
