Had the flight been full, you’d see a very different report below (and truthfully, I would have just flown Lufthansa).īoarding began at 12:15p and as a United Premier Gold member, I boarded with Group Two. The flight was wide open…only about a quarter full…and this greatly influenced my choice. Although I love premium cabins and am fortunate to routinely secure upgrades, I still fly a fair share in economy class. This is usually by choice, typically to save money, but also because I actually survive just fine in economy class.Įarlier this month I had a choice to make: fly Lufthansa First Class for the fifth time this year or save the miles and fuel surcharges and just fly United Economy home. Once in awhile, a bit of a reality check is nice. What is United Airlines’ economy class product like on its 10-across 777-300ER between Europe and the USA?
