Rather than returning to Florida, we had to first travel to Boston, as we had a commitment there. Premium options out of Kona were extremely limited: 1. For the date we were traveling not a single flight from Kona to Los Angeles had even one first class seat left for sale, let alone available with miles or an upgrade 2. You can always connect throu...
The morning of our flight we got an email indicating that the aircraft for the Kona to Chicago flight had been swapped. It was initially supposed to be a Boeing 787-8 with the new Polaris seats, while it was now a Boeing 787-9 with United’s old business class seats. Obviously that’s a significant downgrade, but frankly we were happy to just have a ...
We arrived at Kona Airport a little after 3PM, plenty early for our 5:55PM flight. We arrived early because we had a rental car, and we had picked it up at the same time four days earlier, and didn’t want to get charged for an extra day. We easily found United’s check-in counter, which was empty. A friendly agent helped us. After seeing our Four Se...
Boarding was scheduled for 5:05PM, 50 minutes before departure. Our flight was departing from gate two, and the view of the plane from the gate was kind of cool. Personally I find United’s boarding process to be unnecessarily complicated. The number of different groups that they call prior to boarding first and business class almost reminds me of t...
We boarded through the second set of doors, and turned right into the rear business class cabin. United’s old Boeing 787-9 layout features 48 business class seats, spread across eight rows in a 2-2-2 configuration. The forward cabin has five rows, while the rear cabin has three rows. United’s old business class seats are Collins Aerospace Diamond s...
This flight had better amenities than you’d typically find in domestic first class, but not quite the standard long haul Polaris amenities. There was a comfortable Saks pillow, plus a decent blanket. The Polaris duvet wasn’t offered on this flight, though. Each business class passenger was given a small pouch with amenities, including eyeshades, ea...
What was service like on this 7hr46min flight? Well, dinner was served pretty efficiently after takeoff. Before departure we were asked for our preference, with the choices being described as chicken strips with rice or pasta with red sauce and vegetables. Based on the chicken I had on my last United flight from Hawaii, I decided to order the veget...
United has a pretty extensive entertainment selection on the Boeing 787-9, with plenty of movies and TV shows. However, I only watched the moving map. United also has Wi-Fi on the 787-9, though I didn’t end up using it, given that this was an overnight flight.
When I flew United from Maui to Chicago last year there was no breakfast service, while this time around there was. About an hour before landing breakfast was served, with the choice of eggs or a fruit and cheese plate. We ordered one of each. The egg dish came with rice and sausage, a side of fruit, and a croissant. The fruit & cheese plate had pi...
What stood out to me most about this flight was the excellent service. I find service on United to be a mixed bag, with both some of the best and worst flight attendants in the industry. The flight attendant working our section was a delight. She was kind, attentive, friendly, efficient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. For example, at the en...
The United Airlines Boeing 787-9 features 252 seats in a 3 cabin configuration. Economy has 116 seats in a 3-3-3 config; Premium economy has 88 seats in a 3-3-3 config; Business class has 48 seats in a 2-2-2 config; this is pretty standard for these aircraft. Legroom-wise, the Economy pitch of 32" is average, the Premium economy pitch of 35" is ...

The 787-9 used on the flight from Sydney to Houston direct has seats in Y+ and Economy that have only a couple of inches of recline. In fact, at the end of the flight, the attendants did not have to tell people to adjust their seats because they all looked upright. And they were. For a 16 and a half hour flight, this is disgraceful.
