Not really. There are some routes that united has monopoly over where they charge pretty high fares in economy. Now, nobody expects to get business class in economy but the 17 inch width is truly unacceptable for such long flights. In seats with little legroom it can be regarded as a health hazard. The 90s had perfectly reasonably priced and decently sized economy seats, no reason (except shareholder greed) today should be any different.

Nice and proper food, friendly service, hot towels, as many drinks and snacks as you like and a very good inflight system. Yes it was a cramped seat too, so next time I propably pay for the upgrade to comfort. But all in all, a smooth experience.

Isaacflyaway Pay less - get less. Pay more - get more.

So does this mean I should give Delta another shot if I want to travel overseas?

[@TheRollingBear]

I like sardines 🦐

[@FSM_Reviews]

You should try out Air Canada. I want to see how you rate it.

I am going on a United 777 for 16 hours from Mumbai to Newark!!

[@dawndeahl3151]

At least you had an IFE. I was on a 777-200 in United Econ, and no IFE or meals on a 10 hour flight! Plus, service was bad and the seats were hard. United needs to step up their game, and fast.

[@atlasalpaca8580]

just so you know 8:58 you spelled youtube wrong but other than that great video

[@TheBlackfanify]

OUCH! Just 3" of recline in United's B77W economy esp on a very long flight like HKG to SFO! Now United's gonna use that on HKG-EWR. No way I'll ever find myself on this plane.

Thanks for a nice report Amandeuce. Well done. In last seven months i managed to test all three main US airlines. DL on LHR-MSP, AA on LHR-JFK and UA on LAX LHR. DL is the leader of the pack. AA is average. UA is close to bad. Limited onboard service even compared to DL. Food quality, food box sizes and frequency of FA's runs down the aisles noticeble lower. We are the clients and we can only vote by buying tickets.

If you're a fat person, it can be cramped. Or if you're a fat person, jammed between two more fat people, then it's really cramped. I'm HWP so I don't have a problem. That being said, fat people should have to pay for two seats. When a fat person spills over into your seat, you are paying part of their fare...

Twice a year, I do a trip from Toronto to China. 15 hours in a 777 sardine can. Such a long haul.

[@tristanpasoski9389]

Your absolutely right They need to remove 7 rows and readjust the seats to recline from 12 degrees to 36 degrees

[@louisahren5967]

I love the title SARDINE CAN......exactly feel like it. :)

[@stephenkhanoyan5251]

Not sure what was so bad about that flight? Looked perfectly pleasant to me.

[@Deadeye313]

Yeah. Took a delta flight to Tokyo from LA back in '16. They are sardine cans. How such huge planes can be made to feel small: the other wonder of flight.

[@VikPaints]

Reminds me why I took the decision to avoid flying where possible, this is no way to travel anymore, its just a horrid experience these days, nothing attracts me to it any longer. When was the last time you saw an airline ad featuring the economy seating in planes....never right? enough said.
