Welcome back to the channel today I wanted to show you what you could expect from United Airlines
Premium Economy their 777-200. This is my first time trying out the premium economy product so i
thought I would review it so you can see what you can expect. This was actually the flight that gave
me over 500,000 lifetime miles on United, so that was a nice feat. So here's the Premium Economy
cabin located behind the Polaris cabin. You can see it's a 2-4-2 configuration.
No window seats this time; I was in 22G unfortunately. But it is an aisle seat there
so I can easily get up and go to the bathroom without stepping over a neighbor. Let's take
a detailed look at the seat. Their isn't too much nuance in these seats. I mean they're very similar
i to the a American Airlines Premium Economy seat. You did have the Saks bedding; well not the full
bedding but you had the Sak's 5th Avenue blanket and pillow. You also have an amenity kit as well
that was left for you. A nice size in-flight entertainment screen and an area
a with a little pouch to put things in, not too flexible. Their is a better pouch there to
put things in. A pair of over the ear headphones; which I found these headphones had very good sound
quality. Usually they're in and out of the ear and you are having to play with the headphone jack,
but those were very good. The seat controls you have to the left side as well as the ability to
control the in-flight entertainment screen. This flips up here. I guess you could put something
down there but you have the headphone jack as well as the charging port down there to your left side.
One thing to note is you don't have individual air nozzles on this aircraft, so unfortunately you're
at the crews mercy for the conditions in the cabin. Here's the tray table that comes out of the
right side. Again these seats are the same seat essentially as American Airlines Premium Economy,
which is essentially like a domestic First Class seat that you would have.
That is pretty much it for the seat. As far as the recline goes the recline is decent
and you do have the foot rest there at the bottom. I never really use that.
I feel like it's more comfortable just spreading your feet out versus having the foot rest down
and putting your feet on it. That's just me and my opinion. As you can see no individual
air nozzles just lights up there. I will let you enjoy the takeoff; the sound of it anyway
since I wasn't at a window seat and I will be back with more about this flight shortly.
Welcome back and let's take a look at the bathroom in the 777-200. Nothing special here but again
just part of what I always like to show you. Everything you can expect on these flights
even if the bathroom is nothing special like this. Just so you can have an idea as far as
how much space you might have in the bathroom. You have a changing station there
and decent space. Not the largest but decent space. So you have a standard bathroom
for the 777-200. Let's take a look at the food offerings now. As far as dinner goes the choice
was chicken or beef and i chose the chicken. The food was pretty good. You got a salad, with that
piece of bread, some cookies and chocolate. This was all served on one tray. Their were also some
vegetables that included some asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, and beets. I had a glass of wine here to
go with that. I thought the food was pretty good for Premium Economy. I have flown this route;
not this route but I have flown Premium Economy on American Airlines. I will leave a link for
the review at the top so you can compare the two and tell me your thoughts about it.
Wi-Fi was available on the flight. One nice thing is they do have the free messaging so you don't
necessarily have to purchase Wi-Fi if you want to keep in contact with people. Free messaging
works with I-message Whatsapp, and probably Facebook Messenger as well. As you can see there
you can confirm your free messaging through the flight by clicking on it there and activating it.
I thought the Wi-Fi price for the length of the flight ( if I didn't mention it before this is
United Airlines 63 from Sao Paulo to Houston ); I don't think I mentioned that. Pretty reasonable as
far as the price goes to pay for the full flight I thought. You will see the prices here shortly.
So you can sign in or continue as a guest. So once you click through that. (
yes I promise it does show you the prices ) The wi-fi was a little slow loading.
There you've the basic plan for $1.99 or 400 miles, so you can pay with miles or
dollars. Once you check the options you see the full flight for $7 or 1400 miles or two
hours you can do $5.99 or 1200 miles. Those were the in-flight Wi-Fi options
on the plane which again I thought were pretty reasonable if you wanted to use
Wi-Fi on the flight. Next I will talk about the in-flight entertainment system. I have went
through that quite a bit through other reviews but one feature I will highlight about the in-flight
entertainment system that is cool is this. It lets you know how much time you have to watch based on
the time remaining in the flight. I thought that was a cool feature. I haven't seen that on other
airlines in flight entertainment system. I will leave you to go through the in-flight
entertainment system and I will be back with breakfast and my final thoughts, thank you.
Okay welcome back. Let's take a look at the breakfast option. There was a choice between
fruit or the roast beef sandwich. I did choose the roast beef sandwich that came with yogurt,
fruit, and a chocolate muffin. There's the roast beef sandwich which was pretty good.
I did think that the food was good overall. My final thoughts about the flight.
I like the Premium Economy product. It's in a good price point in the middle
between Economy and Business Class. The service was good and the crew was friendly. Once again
I thought the food was good and the Wi-Fi was very reasonably priced for the length of the
flight ( about 8 hours and 20 minutes ). You do get a little amenity kit with the Sak's blanket
and pillow. As far as the seat goes I was able to get a few hours of sleep and thought the seat is
pretty comfortable. I do like the purple colors in the cabin and think it goes well. It's a good
way distinguishing the different products from Polaris Business, Premium Economy, and Economy.
That was my experience on United Airlines Flight 63 in Premium Economy on their 777-200. Please
