United Airlines Business Class Review 767 to JFK

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

They are rumor ( very few) they would but the 350-1000 on the future. It would be awesome if they did, but I think they would order the 777x in my opinion or more 787s

[@marko_ys]

@@sergiolaurencio7534 I would prefer that they order the 777X over the A350. With the NPS, stingy United may choose the 10 abreast setup which will be even worse than on the 777-200/-300.

[@blau724]

Excellent job! First off, it’s great how you’ve finally gotten the chance to do an in-depth review involving SFO, which is my “home” airport! Additionally, it’s exciting to learn that United has come back to JFK and to see that the onboard service has largely returned to normal. I like how we are regularly receiving their premium-configured 767s now, which will be a joy to fly on in any class, but particularly in economy when compared to their 777s and 787s (which I’m pretty sure are the only United wide-bodies SFO regularly got before this JFK service).

Thank you for Flying Our friendly skies. The service gives testament to the "below the wing" team members. From our cleaning crew, fuelers, ramp, gate customer service, and more to make this happen on a daily basis. As a 32 year Line tech, I am very intimate with our 767 fleet. This is a wonderful airframe. I hope we continue JFK service for many years. From your SFO based 'Below the wing' teams, Thank You.

[@cmgregor01]

That would be great if it happens - and they’ll get my business

[@stuartlee6622]

Assuming American is still in business....

[@JBS319]

Masks being optional will not be the decision of the airlines. It is federal law that masks must be worn at all times onboard airplanes, trains, ferries and buses. Until that is rescinded, individual airline policy doesn't matter one bit.

[@mottyk8491]

@@JBS319 I am aware, that being said some airlines enforce the rules more then others, some FA enforce the rules more then others for example the budget airlines are known for giving passengers a much harder time, I fly a lot once in the air I think I was asked 4-5 times about wearing the mask properly, many times I have gone to the crew areas and have seen flight attendants with their masks off pretending to eat or drink Mask have to be made optional especially if you are vaccinated or have antibodies

[@ChrisChiappetti]

Just booked this route yesterday for June! And I picked 9A! Glad you liked it.

[@danwinkowski3503]

Jeb, always good to see your stories! As a long time customer of UA it's great to see them back "in the game"! I will have to totally agree with you on the coffee situation at their only open lounge at SFO and it's the same at LAX so I guess Cali still has control over the experience. I do have to say that you were more then generous with your depiction of the lounge itself. That lounge (the lounge I am sitting in right now) is something out of Chicago 1987! It needs major facelift! Keep flying and hope to join you on board one day.

[@davidgirgis6299]

Good to see United back with meal service!

[@jawd1203]

United has had meal service on the premium routes SFO-EWR and LAX-EWR throughout COVID, they never stopped providing it on these flights. JFK would be considered a premium route too so this is no different from before.

I was a ramp agent for United at SFO and it was a rare occurrence to see any UA 767 at the gate, but with the addition of SFO-JFK routes, SFO is getting some much needed UA 767 love. My first widebody I ever pushed out happened to be a UA 767-400ER headed to EWR, so it was such a treat, especially since I was being trained for dispatch.

[@franklinbaez71]

cool review - thanks. Your Amtrak reviews brought me to this page. Honestly, for flights, I do not use the lounge at all so I am surprised it has 5 stars to add to your review total. I would think most travelers these days just want to be in and out of an airport but maybe that is just me.

Jeb, dare I say that I think you have stars in your eyes regarding the comfort rating of this plane? To me, it looked cramped in every way - from head to toe and side to side. The privacy was outweighed by the claustrophobia, in my opinion, and I am not a large person. For the first time after one of your videos, I had more questions than answers. I agree with your assessment of the lounge appeal, though, with its historical feeling and all. Thanks for the entertainment!

Your videos are so amazing, full of helpful info, and most importantly, what sets your videos apart from other vloggers is your mature way of presenting and narrating the little details, which is in striking contrast to millions of other naive airline vloggers (read 'kids'): no speaking inside the cabin (wow!), no photo-bombing flight crew and passengers (I think all other vloggers should learn from you how to vlog ethically without disturbing co-passengers and flight crew)

[@tomwillard7251]

Jeb- I really want to urge you to get on JetBlue’s new 321 Mint NEO which launches LAX-JFK next month. Their current Mint 2.0 food menu blows this United Menu away, has a different amenity kit depending on the time of the flight, lay flat seats and of course, 100% free real WiFi for everyone. Trust me, you’re gonna want to see the new Mint NEO layout and experience it. Thanks for a wonderful review.

Looking forward to your video on the Zephyr, I have ridden that train several times west of Denver and it is a fantastic trip, looking forward to hearing your take on it. I don't understand why they cannot have the self-service coffee/hot chocolate machines running, heck every convenience store I can think of have them operating but then again I have not been in my home state of California since 2016.

I'd recommend doing the "redo" on transcon service closer to the end of the year, the airlines should have more competitive service by then

[@lesleynyborg2093]

We flew from IAD to San Antonio in April, cattle car. Minimal social distancing and the cabin obviously hadn't been cleaned that well, there was a pretzel on the floor under the seat in front of me. I also flew in October, and IAD was very crowded and the plan was too.

[@pah1921il]

I appreciate your generosity when it came to rating the service. I thought you were a bit harsh on the lounge, but I didn’t wait in a long line for coffee either I suppose!!! lol

[@ptahcha001]

Fun fact about the UA High-J 767: One of the two window exits is blocked due to the last row of Polaris seat situated there. There is also a warning sticker on the outside of the aircraft stating that the forward window exit is not usable. So Jeb's nearest usable exits would have been door 1L, 1R, or window exit 2. Cooling gel pillow is back as of the inaugural flight in/out of JFK. Also now on EWR flights as well. But yes, the UA premium transcon service is way better than DL (until it brings back food later in June) and AS, but both AA and B6 have better in-flight meals and drinks as of now.

Last time I travelled from AKL- SFO on the 77W, SFO-KEWR on the 787-10 back in 2019 a year before the pandemic started, great flights all around, totally enjoyed them on Polaris Business all the way to New Jersey. Hope to be going back to the USA sometime at the end of this year hopefully or next year when things settle down in the USA and the Pandemic is over.

[@steve3ri]

Why is leaving SFO from gate F14 , exciting? Anyway, your service was a lot better than what I received flying first class between EWR and LIR, Costa Rica. The service was basically nothing. What you got, was something. It is only because they compete on the route.

The beginning of this video is like a commercial

[@jaysmith1408]

I am a loyal American customer. However your reviews of the competition lead me to consider the alternatives when I travel (though almost always coming back to American). One thing i have noticed is that you can get more premium service by phoning the airline. My experience with the representative (got the same lady twice) was that they are far more able to route you, seat you, and upgrade you, than even the airline website. I am flying to Los Angeles, and was aiming to take the Flagship service, JFK to Santa Ana. The website said I couldn’t do it, my travel agent said I couldn’t do it (both routing through O’Hare) but the airline said absolutely. I would love to know how you figure these trips out.

[@adammurphy6845]

Great video as usual Jeb....The food offering at the lounge in SFO looks that same as it did in 2019 to me. The only difference was the coffee situation.

[@flyerdon3116]

Just making sure, there are two classes of service, Coach and Business, no First Class like American offers? Also I noticed your ear buds, what kind are they, do that work well with Apple products? It looked like you switched from headphones to the ear buds during the flight was that for any particular reason? Always appreciate flying along with you on your videos.

This is another epic video. Also, yes, it's time for a Transcon Throwdown redo. It occurred 3 years ago. With JetBlue's new Mint suite and United's Polaris, I'm extremely curious to see how they stack up today.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

I am glad United had a great aircraft to do that Transcon service. United had the PS Service that flew this service with the three class 757-200s. I had the pleasure of working a couple of PS Service Flights. I use to always laugh at the Business Class on the 757s. The seats I this section were cute looking. Now the First Class seats reminded me of the First Class seats on the older 767s. Cute!! Yes, I think when we all in the airlines industry are able to get back to full service that will be just back "normal"! We will see
