Welcome back to the channel and today I wanted to show you what you could expect from United
Airlines Domestic First Class and their 737MAX8. Please follow me on Instagram at brandonjohnson10k
for behind the scenes looks at content that I will be reviewing in the future. This is flight UA1777,
lucky sevens I guess, from Newark to Houston. So a hub to hub route here. You have the newer
Domestic First seats here. Also you have the bins that you can turn your bag on the side,
which I think are more effective in getting more people's bags on the plane. Here's a look at the
seat in a little more detail. You do have space to put your bag underneath the seat.
Here is a little pouch, and a very nice size screen for in-flight entertainment. Here to
your left side you've got the charger; this is seat 3F. Here is a little place to put;
I don't know what you might put in their. You have the in-flight entertainment remote.
Your left arm rest flips up. This is how you get the tray table out from your left side. Here
is the sturdy tray table and it does have the little flip up thing to put your tablet or phone
if you want to watch. I do think that's a uniquely nice feature on the tray tables on United that
they have. It is a very functional design. The seat was pretty comfortable. This was about a 2
hour and maybe 40 minute flight I believe; from hub to hub Newark to Houston. So no issues with
comfort. It's not my favorite recliner seats but it will do the job for that amount of time. You
do have a good view out of the window. You have this arm rest to your right side that does pull up
I guess maybe if you want to lean a little bit to the side and possibly lose something if you put
it their in that little compartment. You do have individual air vents as well. They were offering a
pre-departure beverage on this flight, as you can see the headphones. The choice was orange juice or
sparkling wine. I had the sparkling wine. It was in plastic cups. This flight was taken on the 28th
of May of this year. I will be back shortly after takeoff to talk about more details on this flight.
Okay welcome back. So let's look at the bathroom here in the MAX8. It is really
no different than other MAX8 bathrooms. That sink is gonna splash on you no matter what.
It's just a thing with these MAX8 lavatories. They're very tight and they don't have windows.
You have very tight bathrooms in the MAX8, not only on United but American as well. As far as
the meal service this was a lunch service, but I did get an email allowing me to choose
my meal in advance. That's a nice feature on this route; they may do it for hub to hub routes when
you're in Domestic First Class. As you can see you have the option to select your meal
and once clicked on it shows you the options. You have the grilled chicken with the Latin rice or
the Italian vegetable stew. I chose the grilled chicken with the Latin rice, which was very good.
You can take a look at that now. They had the beverage service as well. You did get a
small bowl of fruit and there's the Latin rice with the chicken. The meal was very good
but what was even better was the dessert. The Chocolate Pie in the sky, I think,
by Eli's Cheesecake was absolutely delicious. These things are really addictive. This flight
was equipped with Wi-Fi as well. You will notice here messaging is free and you've got partner
sites that are free and the United entertainment that you can use on their app is free as well.
Their is really no sense in that when you have the in-flight entertainment screen essentially
with the same stuff. I will let you take a look at the prices for the Wi-Fi and let you uh take
a look at the in-flight entertainment system. I will be back shortly with my final thoughts.
Welcome back. My thoughts on this flight were we had a really good flight the crew that was good,
energetic, and proactive. The food was good. It is nice that
we are starting to see United catch up as far as the free messaging goes on
applications like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger. That's a sign in the right direction.
The meal service at this time had no cart so it was just brought out individually to your seat.
The seat is comfortable enough for the 2 hour and 40 minute or so ride down from Newark to Houston.
While I do prefer the old recliner seats from a comfort standpoint I get that things are becoming
more and more modern. I do actually cherish the time when I can get the old recliner seats because
those are by far the most comfortable Domestic First Class seats that you'll see. They're not
pretty but they are comfortable. You had in-flight entertainment. Their were no amenity kits. You did
have the pre-departure beverage which I showed you that I had the sparkling wine. You could also
have orange juice. Blankets were available upon request only. That was my experience on United
Airlines flight 1777 from Newark to Houston on the 737 MAX8 in Domestic First Class. As
always I appreciate you watching. Please hit the like button, subscribe to the channel
