United Airlines seat reviews

Great area to try and get some rest for a very long flight. We chose the seats due to my husband being an extremely broad shouldered man. He had extra shoulder room in seat B because there was no A seat. Those extra inches make a big difference. Yes, it is louder in the back of the plane, but we just plugged in our iPods, closed our eyes, and tried to forget about the long hours ahead. On the return flight, we upgraded to the Economy Plus seats in row 21. Nope, would have rather had rows 58-60 again. The gentleman behind us in the last row, 60, had room to recline his seat. Said he always chooses this row when on International flights.

This seat is about 3 inches shorter than the version on the 777-200 (ex-Continental). It was fine for a daytime jump across the Atlantic, but I found snoozing to be uncomfortable (I'm 6'4"). I was worried that I would get a lot of bumps being open to both aisles, but that did not seem to be a concern. The AVOD system is excellent and contains a large variety of films and TV shows. The food was very good, although the service was very perfunctory and my "thank yous" greeted with little more than a grunt from the male flight attendant.

No personal TV, but entertainment was OK. Seats didn't recline too far, which doesn't intrude do much on personal space. Good space between wall and seat to put my bag. Normally I get backache after a few hours, but nothing on this flight.

While close to toilets, there was no problem with people congregating. Shared tv screens on a 14 hour flight are so outdated and show how United cares little for it's customers! The apple cobbler (?) dessert was inedible raw dough topping off a generally poor dinner. Bring a book or your own DVD player and movies!

This seat has plenty of leg room. As the table and the TV set are stored in the arm, the seat width is slightly less than the standard seat. On the other hand, the neighbour doesn't "spill" over to your seat.

Although close to the lavatories, it's not by the doors as in some planes.

In my opinion, this and 28B (same position on the other side of the plane) are the best Economy class seats in this plane.

For a nearly 7 Hour flight, United could at least improve their entertainment, COMPLETELY bored, the main screen TVs in the aisle are hard to see and of poor quality. Also, food could at least be provided 7 hours is hard to go by with only a snack.

Plenty of legroom with this seat. United does, however, need to invest some money in updating their seats for comfort, as well as upgrading amenities. There was no television or food on this (almost) 6 hour flight. Final leg of my trip was a 3.5 hr. Flight from Sydney to Christchurch, and Air New Zealand had not only individual television for each seat, but dinner! My question is...."why, United?".....

Very comfortable, reasonably quiet, the seat was long enough and reclined to the horizontal so I slept longer than I normally do. The seat controls and entertainment were easy to operate. The food and wine were very good. No complaints whatsoever.

Standard lie flat business seat. Width is a bit poor as the armrest on the right cannot be removed. Outward oriented chair makes is easier to look outside, better for neck and back. Remote controle button of this media-set was dated, need to push hard. Movie package up to date and divers. I like the plugs for headphones and power being behind me, less trouble with wires. I will assumenthe cabin crew member that served us was new - poor service.

Standard domestic business seating. Small tv screen in front of your nose with for a non-US guy incomprehensible viewing instructions. All about paying with your credit card. Service and drinks OK. They call a bag of chips 'food-service' .
