United pics?

[toots82]

Hi.

Thinking about trying United for the first time next year (edi-ewr-mco). Anyone have any pics of the inside of the plane or experiences to share?

Thanks

Plane is a standard 3-3 seat configuration 757-200, nothing special, nothing dreadful. Rows 29 and back are the free to select ones once your tickets have been issued by whoever booked them. 22-28 are the preferred ones, think they're about $30 each to pre select and 7-21 are the economy plus ones, from $140. I've been bumped upto economy plus courtesy of work, but given there's 5 of us i'm not sure I'd weigh in with $1400 return for the extras they provide.

I've used the service a few times now, and it's fine. Better than the Chicago one ( shorter flights) but dunno about their Washington service. They're all the same aircraft.

Done Birmingham-Newark-Orlando more than 20x times. Newark is great as a large airport with 10-20 desks open for immigration. I have waited 2 hours, but usually 10 mins is normal. I have global entry and brother doesn't and he's usually through in about the same time as me.

Flights are good, individual TVs with 60+ movies, power under the seat, wine and beer included. As far as I know you get free seat selection in economy but you can upgrade to the front of economy, economy plus and now a half way between economy plus and business class.

We always fly United do that we have gold status. Gets us usually 1+ free transatlantic flights per year

Don't have any pictures but have used this route a few times before. It was always my preferred route but seemed to become much more expensive in recent years. ( when I have been looking anyway) The seat configuration was always two rows of three. You can choose your seats free of charge.

We just paid Ł368 Heathrow-Newark-Orlando on 27th Aug - 12 Sept. Thought that was good apart from the Ł300 taxi to London but 3 of us so cheaper than flying Ł591 out of Manchester

Thanks folks, our flights should be out soon but going the week before we need to and back a week earlier too is coming out at around 426pp at the moment but thats hand baggage only. Could probably just add a couple of bags to that... will keep looking, should be within the next week ours are out

Don't book straight away. United don't generally follow the 11 month in advance rule. I'd say 9 months is when the best fares get released.

You can do that for far less (Economy plus upgrade) one of you buys the upgrade for a year and selects to have up to 6 other people with them, I cant remember the cost but it was cheaper for us to do that than upgrade three of us. its $1299 for a year for you and upto 8 people united/ual/en/us/sub...chase/offersep

Probably something like this, but it won’t be the same people

Found on internet by googling United 757 200 interior. Hundreds of photos came up. T’internet is a wonderful place.
