Love the engine sound like a GE90

[@zr1114]

Dude thank you so much for uploading this, I am also booked on the 77W Polaris ORD-MCO and I am so hyped. I was literally waiting for someone to upload a TR because I can hardly wait. Awesome to see other Orlando spotters caught this secret upgrade!

[@aviationmco]

No problem! I hope you enjoy it!

[@KevinMeno2008]

Widebodies on domestic routes (Due to mostly Disney guests) to and from MCO are amazing.

[@aviationmco]

Honestly.

[@Aviation18]

Great Trip report and a really nice recording of those engine noises! Also nice to see MCO's new terminal on departure

[@aviationmco]

Thanks! Yessir it's really coming together

[@The757Avgeek]

Great video! Nice to see widebodies on so many domestic routes

[@aviationmco]

Thanks! I love seeing so many widebodies on domestic hops

[@turk223]

But, that growl!

Somewhat surprising considering as major and huge as MCO airport is, United has fewer than 10 gates. They only use 8 jetways there. Definitely not one of the dominant carriers there despite being a huge airline. 48 I’m quite sure is the only UA gate there that can handle heavies. Should be interesting to see if operations for UA at MCO change with the airport getting lots of gates at the new south terminal. United was also using a B773ER on the Newark-Orlando route during Spring Break weeks. And those would go out completely full every day. I’d love to see United get more heavies in Orlando (my favorite is the 787-10), but they need more gates that can handle them.

[@aviationmco]

Maybe they should move to C once it is expanded.

[@ecoRfan]

@@aviationmco it should be interesting to see if United gets more gates.

[@ecoRfan]

@@aviationmcolately with the 737 Max 9 groundings, United has used more heavies on EWR/MCO and some of them use gate 39. Since the South Terminal opened, more gate space has freed and airlines have adjusted which gates they use.

Welcome aboard!

[@TripReportaviation]

Wonderful trip report. It's very nice of the crew to let you sit and film the Polaris seat, but I'd say it'd have been better if you had been allowed to sit the for the whole flight :)))

[@aviationmco]

Yeah but i’m happy they let me sit in the beginning regardless :)

[@davidbian2466]

Delta should fly their Airbus a350's between Detroit/Atlanta and Orlando, especially during peak seasons.

[@aviationmco]

They should!

[@davidbian2466]

@@aviationmco You should suggest that to Delta.

[@davidbian2466]

@@aviationmco They should also fly the A330-900neos on those routes during peak seasons.

[@GenkisTravels]

Dang didn’t know United flew this aircraft on this route. Hopefully it stays lol

[@aviationmco]

Only for the month of july sadly......

[@ASAviation]

Awesome video man, dang you really had to beat me to this 😂 crazy how you guys were here on this flight literally 3 days after I was and it was so cool to see the similarities I had on my flight. You guys flew 2644U when I had 2645U, also landed on 27C like we did! And I wonder who was the inspiration behind you choosing to watch “Friday” 🤔🤔🤔😂

[@aviationmaliq132]

insane lol, too bad you couldnt join us!

[@aviationmco]

Yessir i edited this as soon as i got home, and woah that's cool! And yk it i got that from your insta story lmaoooo

[@aviationmaliq132]

Awesome video bro, cant wait for the next flights!

[@aviationmco]

Thanks! Same here!

[@skyeye787]

Wow people at Orlando really don’t wear masks. I count a bunch of people without their masks

[@aviationmco]

yup.....

[@mikeklimczak9600]

I thought masks were required in airports and on planes until September 13th. Why do I see so many people without them on in the terminal?

[@aviationmco]

People generally do not care anymore and this is Florida where rules really aren't followed

[@SKS8080]

Because FL there’s good leadership. Unlike CA or NY

[@gabeich4303]

M8 United’s -300s have 350 seats, the cattle car 200s have 364

[@aviationmco]

good to know, i will add a card for that thank you!

[@candacepost2137]

I can’t believe you fly first class and only get a coke.
