| | Flight Experience | United operates their Boeing 757, 767, 777, 787-10, and Airbus A321XLRs on these routes. | On the 777 and 787-10, you’ll find a 1-2-1 cabin layout while the 767 has a 1-1-1 layout. Both layouts offer the same lie-flat seat with direct aisle access. The Airbus A321XLR has great tech, doors, and a 1-1 configuration. Personally, I’d avoid the 757 if possible. While it has lie-flat seats, the 2-2 layout is sub-par.
When departing from the US, I generally suggest eating at the Polaris Lounge and skipping meal service on the flight. Polaris Lounges typically have much better food and a solid selection of drinks. | | How To Search | Search with United: | Select Advanced search Choose to show price in miles Select Roundtrip or One-way Enter the origin & destination Select Nonstop only (if you don't need a connection) Select the number of passengers Select your dates or choose Flexible dates and choose a month Select Business Run the search
