I am blown away at the high quality of these videos without the views and subs!! Keep it up!

Agreed, probably one of the top united video reviews but so limited views.

Great review, brother - very much an everyman approach, which I quite enjoyed. Criminal that you don't have a TON more followers...

Thanks for the great video, you definitely deserve much more views! By the Way, I used to think that all the American carriers are mediocre to bad, but I'm quite impressed by United's product, it's probably better than many of they're European competitors.

We caught that same flight a couple of months ago...we were glad to see any lounge that late in the evening! They also had screening at the gate asking people if they had any liquids in their bags and they were searching bags. IDK. Lovely flight and I love Polaris. I slept about 7 hours on the flight.

I’m eating dinner in the Polaris lounge, before boarding. That way I won’t miss a second of sleep. Happy travels and I hope your thumb healed perfectly.

BTW in my opinion Delta one has a better menu on their JFK- TLV than polaris. Their menu is definitely Israeli based. Plus now their partnership with EL AL gives you more options and will be up to par. EL AL before the war planned flights to Seatle also

I wish United would consider adding a flight using a Polaris-equipped plane that departs from CLE 😢 - love this seating experience!
@flaps1019 Жыл бұрын
That would be unreal. Although knowing United I bet they'd give us a 757 with the old seats before anything else... For the time being looks like Aer Lingus is the only true business class we got!

Hi! Thx for a good video. How did you get access to the Polaris lounge in Chicago when your next flight was domestic? Rgrds
@flaps10198 ай бұрын
Thank you! I actually didn’t know until this trip, but if you’re arriving on a Polaris flight and have a domestic connection on the same ticket / same day, you’re granted access

Well seems like ages ago and different time. Here's to peace and for the flight resumption. United plans to resume Israel operations in a little over a month, United polaris is wonderful. Dan lounge is really poor. Last time skipped it completely. Now Ben Gurion is a ghost town with maybe 20% of average passengers flying through it basically nothing down to EL AL only. Hope you are ok with your hand and you enjoyed Israel

It takes a lot of guts for you to confidently wear American Airlines t-shirt throughout your whole journey with United lol

Really enjoyed this video, but your writings on the screen were gone in a flash while I’m still reading halfway … LOL. Given the disheartening event in Israel, your experience in this recent trip to Israel must have dug deep in you (as it has with many of us world citizens), having just been there. Peace.
@flaps101910 ай бұрын
Thanks for stopping by Dane! And yes - really tough situation in Israel right now. Very lucky to be back in the US and hoping everyone I met there, including all the airport workers at TLV - are ok

Did you get any comments on your shirt since it was an AA shirt on a United flight?
@flaps1019 Жыл бұрын
Haha - good question. Surprisingly, no. I think it was a combination of overnight flight (cabin being pretty dim the whole time), retro AA logo (perhaps it wasn't as easily recognized) and the crew being more drawn to my cast than anything else lol

Ya know, post-COVID it is sad to see that UA hasn't upped their Business soft product. It's tacky and a poor presentation putting the entire meal on one tray. I'm retired from CO (pilot) and in the early 2000s although the seats were different (not lie-flat, but comfortable) the service was exceptional. WHITE table linens, more meal courses and the sundaes served from a cart in the aisle. Of course, during the pandemic FAs grew accustomed to much less "work" service wise. Not just at UA. Might be hard to bring standards back up.
@flaps101911 ай бұрын
Totally agree. And thanks for stopping by - always great to get the pilot perspective since you guys get to fly up front a lot when you’re not on duty! Would have loved to try CO’s “businessfirst” back in the day

There are absolutely showers but would have been kind of an operation w the cast given it couldn’t get wet

So, that I I understand fully, you fly a carrier with infamously shitty customer service and what exactly? Your poor choices say so much about you, as a consumer. As an idiot. Sadly, El Al has world-class security but equally shit service. Is Delta still serving this thankless route?
