United (Economy Plus) | Boeing 757-200 | Tenerife(TFS) to Newark(EWR)

[@deanberg4033]

The 757 is oneof my favorite aircrafts. Nice to see United keeping the old birds in the air.

[@panchopantera28]

Best for domestic flights. For international, I wish they would reconfigure with roomier regular economy seats aside from eco plus.

[@ianoreilly8468]

I'd love to see this route continue, and the possibility of one to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria too... it would cover the 2 most popular Islands with the largest capital cities of them too. If you like Tenerife, you'll love Gran Canaria. Every island has its own unique perspective, Gran Canaria has the protected sand dune area in Maspalomas.

United just announced nonstop flights from NY to Tenerife this summer. 💥

[@cuanticola]

I will take this flight this summer! Great connection between Tenerife and USA avoiding Madrid or Barcelona!

[@enriquevega4480]

thanks for uploading,greetings from Tenerife,the route is working fine with a load factor of 90+ %,local authorities are attempting to make the flight year-round,if it works in the Summer it can do perfectly in the winter

[@ianoreilly8468]

Winter is a gorgeous time to escape to Tenerife, especially if you come from a cold climate. It's a nice alternative to the Caribbean for US / Canadians in Winter!

[@enriquevega4480]

@@ianoreilly8468 currently the flight operates just in the summer,i hope that it will expand to the winter

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your trip coming from the Spanish coast islands there...

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Glad you were able to have Economy Plus for the extra leg room on a long-haul. I take it there were no more upgrades given for First Class to us your points.

I went to Tenerife 20 years ago. I had a timeshare exchange in S. Spain so I ventured out to the Island. I met great people and I’m still friends with a girl I met from the U.K. She & her dad came to stay with me in Los Angeles and took them to Palm Springs & Vegas.

[@javianjohnson8746]

Tenerife looks beautiful even from the airport

[@markusschult6513]

Tenerife is such a very nice island. Often ago I was flown with TUIfly from DUS to TFS. Only 4 hours flight-time from Germany.

[@Travelagent]

Hopefully not one of the constantly complaining German tourists!? There are way too many of them......🙄!

[@janellek21]

I'm surprised the load factors on this route are high enough to sustain this flight. Not many Americans holiday in the Canaries.

[@dannycnoble]

This true. Amanda and i go every year from Dallas. We where actually on the inaugural flight on 9JUN22. The flight was great. United serivce was great.

[@ab4113]

Maybe it will pick up, when they know there is a direct flight now

[@brightaviation]

My flight both ways was completely full

[@uncleswing4046]

Nice video

[@f9mike]

I have said it before and I will say it again, BOEING MADE A HUGE MISTAKE WHEN TEH SHUT DOWN 757 PRODUCTION, A 757 PLUS/MAX SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLYING 10 YEARS AGO

[@doktor_kumpel958]

Seeing a UA Aircraft at the scenery, you first think it‘s HNL or something😄😉

[@adriangonzalez9066]

did that pland have wifi???

[@ab4113]

How long is the flight

[@brightaviation]

It is in the description of the video

[@davidcole333]

I'm sorry you had to go to New Jersey.

[@panchopantera28]

What do you mean?

[@TL-sj6fk]

You were not flying to New York just to Newark

[@colinrenfrew48]

I enjoyed the video. If it was me, I’d fly via Madrid etc and avoid United. They have a lousy reputation which they have earned. In addition, this plane looks very outdated for this length of flight.

[@brightaviation]

I have flown through MAD/DUB/LHR/CDG/FRA and I do prefer doing that but this route was unique and may not come back next summer so I thought I would try it out

[@panchopantera28]

I avoid United if other alternatives are available. I have flown United only because of nonstop transatlantic flights and convenient flight schedule.

[@Inigo_The_Son]

Seriously, does anybody want to watch a wing for 9 minutes? What was the flight like?

[@Thanosbreak]

Americans in Spain That’s gonna be interesting

[@brightaviation]

I am actually from Las Palmas and moved to the US when I was 2 years old

[@Pius-XI]

Better than the German's getting up at 6am to secure a sunbed 😂

[@sirobin171]

The 757 should not be used for hauls like this, United had to turn this 757 into a flying gas can to make this work. US carriers are obscene. Anything to make more money.

[@sirobin171]

@@cessna2737 They added a center tank, the 757- 200 does not come with that kind of range.

Imagine if they put the 737 Max

[@sanitman1488]

What do you think the Airbus a321xlr is and it still doesn’t have the performance of the 757 !

[@sanitman1488]

@@sirobin171 the aircraft were built with center fuel tanks and this particular route is well within its maximum range !

[@sirobin171]

@@sanitman1488 The 757 does not have enough range for this route without extra fuel storage. Look into it, I did. They must have added more fuel tanks somewhere.
