I'm a retired United pilot and flew this trip often. The 67-400 is a great plane to fly as a pilot. As far as the livery goes, it's okay, but I do miss the tulip on the tail. Yeah, not many captains turn on channel 9 anymore because several of us got sued by clueless passengers who didn't understand our communications with ATC and thought they'd been put in danger. I don't know breakfast wasn't offered because it always was when I flew these trips. Of course, I've been retired for a few years. Anyway, thanks for flying with us.

[@zekeigtos7240]

Most of those amenities, with the exception of the legroom and larger seats, used to be the standard in economy. First class had menus, an on-call bar, and for that long of a flight two to three meals. It is still that way on international flights such as Korean air and Lufthansa. American carriers really seem to be cutting costs and offering lower quality of service.

[@JeanClaudeCOCO]

When you compare them during covid times to those other carriers who fly on the same time length it’s really a differential. The only lounge I’ve seen come back fully is the star alliance lounge at LAX but it’s for that big carriers who fly into LAX and I see why the service hasn’t been paired back as those airlines aren’t cutting as much as the US carriers. The onboard and lounge products are just not up to par with those airlines. Covid has made it worst and they blame the virus for the further cuts, while other airlines are scaling back up. Hopefully with European passengers coming back the JFK, Chicago lounges and dinning services will get back to pre-covid levels.

This is my first time watching your channel, and it's refreshing to see a happy and well adjusted traveler who is not super entitled on KZbin.

I sort of knew about it, but my first visit to Honolulu included making a visit to the crater, and I sort of had the same realization... except I sort of did know of course that the Hawaiian islands were all formed by volcanos. On the main island (Hawaii itself) it's really incredible how the landscape changes vis-a-vi the lava flows. Those are not at all active, but you can see how the island changes when you drive around the perimeter, as much as you are able. My favorite to visit was Kauai, though I only went there 3 times. They have the 'Grand Canyon' of the Pacific. Look that up, if you don't know it. It was beautiful. Go there if you have not done so, choose any island. You will enjoy it. I was so lucky. I'm really feeling that now at 65. Take care.

Channel 9 was my favorite thing about United! I used to fly mainland to HNL regularly. Listening to channel 9 chatter until Center cut us loose, then dozing, only to be interrupted by occasional talk between planes on the same route. My favorite part was finally hearing "Honolulu Center, United 123 with you at 36 Thousand with Tango". I always chose a window seat on the starboard side for the epic views of Mauna Kea peaking above the clouds. By the time you hit the Big Island, you're probably at 20,000 ft and seeing that is incredible.

Looks like an amazing trip especially with United! Cheers from here in Detroit {DTW} looked like fun! Shocked that {HNL-IAD} isn’t longer than the {HNL-BOS} route for the longest US domestic route!! Is the Honolulu to Washington Dulles route close to as long as the Honolulu to Boston route? Also I’ve mentioned it before Boeing never made a standard 767-400 only the 767-400ER model for future reference Jeb! 😎🥂👍🇺🇸

[@OldLugnutz]

IAD-HNL is 4,806 mi, and BOS-HNL is 5095mi. But, factor aircraft, jet stream, and air traffic, etc, and neither is a easy "given". I remember the United Flight 1 many times from BOS-HNL some 35 years ago or more (747). I think I even took a Northwest Orient (OK, I dating myself) to HNL once.

We live in Hawaii, and Southwest was a blessing to have providing travel between islands with very affordable rates. Before they started, Hawaiian Airlines was the only carrier between islands, and they charged exorbitant prices!

[@Blank00]

If AA and DL still require you to buy a day pass from Hawaii flights, then United requiring a day pass shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

[@bodyloverz30]

Both Hawaiian & Alaska include it in the pricing!

[@Blank00]

@@bodyloverz30 My main point is that if you're gonna criticize United for omitting free longe from a domestic first ticket, then you may as well criticize AA and DL for the same thing

[@bodyloverz30]

@@Blank00 I agree, good point.

I was in the UA lounge about 4 years ago and it seems like it has been upgraded. New seating and new carpeting. Food selection is also better than what it was.

[@pandersonnike]

I'm glad more domestic US airlines are treating the coast to coast, and Hawaii flights as an international flight in regards to service and amenities. I remember seeing past reviews, not here, but in general and it felt like they were trying to take a typical 2-3 hour domestic flight and glorify it a bit for a 5-9 hour flight. It should be similar to flying to Europe from the US services wise in my view when it comes to flying to and from Hawaii. Sadly more still needs to be done like lounge access.

[@SatoshiHODL]

Jeb, your videos are the best and most inspirational travel videso I've seen. Great work to you both!

[@canyonoverlook9937]

First Class passengers should get lounge access on this flight.

[@heathervona7883]

Hi there. Just found your channel. Would love to travel myself, but alas, cannot go anywhere. I've never been out of Australia. I really enjoy the fact that you talk in your videos. Others that I have watched do not. They've lost me, now that I've found you.....

[@johngirlando]

Jeb, the United Explorer card gives you two lounge passes a year for $95

[@fabian110]

Always check eBay for passes. I bought 2 UA club passes for $30. They were cheap because they were expiring in 6 weeks. I’m in the UA club at IAH as I type this.

[@patrickoneal8514]

I recently used one of my two passes at ORD. Our flight to Anchorage was canceled due to weather. We were rebooked for the next day flight to Fairbanks (which continued on to ANC). I think it’s a pretty good value for United Club access, especially if you’re an infrequent flyer. The United Club isn’t mind blowing, however it’s a nice spot to disappear away from the noise & chaos of a busy hub/terminal.

Having worked for an airline years ago, who is out of business, I consider United,to be CHEAP,by not having a light breakfast prior to arrival. The United/Continental merger was the worse merger. It should have been with Delta. My airline you ask,was,the Wings of Man,EASTERN AIRLINES

[@keithfreitas2983]

I agree Continental had better service.

[@dknowles60]

I flew Both Continental was way better

[@keithsanderson4299]

Yes there should be a second meal along with access to the lounge. The service on United has been great in my experience. Thank you.

[@davidward8191]

Knowing they don't serve a second meal on a 9 Hr flight, I would not book them!

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

At around midnight Hawaii time you expect a breakfast? OK. I feel sorry for your stomache.

Hi Jeb! I am one of your subscribers and I just sit back and watch all of your videos and they are so relaxing and I feel like that I’m just on a trip with you and Susanne just watching you and I’ve been watching you for 3 years

Meanwhile on the same route in economy, we eat cookies and soda. We also don’t get any blankets so we are freezing 😂

You're from my home town. I love departing from PTI to connect to a bigger hub. Showing up 1 hour prior to departure has never let me down.

[@dan-mo]

9 hours flight in "first class" and only one meal ? What's wrong with United?

[@emercycrite]

Lots of things of which inadequate catering is but one.

[@barber215]

I would definitely think that any flight longer than 6 hours should be offering 2 meals, or at least 1 full meal, and a small arrival snack to keep you occupied. Disappointing that there was no second meal, but still looked good enough. Glad you made it safely!
