United Airlines 881 Heavy 747-400 Service From Chicago O'Hare to Tokyo Narita

[rags015]

A minute long takeoff! WOW! Heavy! Gotta love PW engines! Fuck the new livery though!

[CairnAngel1]

Man do you realice that I wanted to go to tokyo that badly!?!

[nick0912nascar]

Nice!

[yogiababua]

How long was the flight?

[clarkdoc]

@PhilG380, I'm taking the camcorder and I'll upload some videos from the run and let you know how it was.

[clarkdoc]

@PhilG380, if our plane leaves San Francisco at 605 am what time would we need to leave the hotel?

[clarkdoc]

@PhilG380, I'm flying that very same plane for United in September from San Francisco to Chicago O' Hare for a little weekend mileage run. What is it like in coach cabin? I've never flown on a Boeing 747 400 before and I'm very excited. Can you upgrade with continental miles because I have about 50 thousand miles and my dad and I want to upgrade on that leg of the flight back to Tampa. Let me know when you can. We're supposed to go September 4 and come back the 5 the day before labor day.

[PhilG380]

@clarkdoc I'm not sure about the CO miles, but I think you can since they are in Star Alliance, though I don't think you get the deep mileage discounts for upgrades if any exist. Continental and UA will be one airline fairly soon, so I'm sure that helps. As for Economy, there are no Private TV's on the 747-400. Economy plus is better as far as legroom is concerned. This video was taken in business class, but economy is survivable, esp in ECO +, but not much choice in entertainment.

Depending on the flight path, I can sometimes see this flight from the ground (I live in Regina, Canada).

[airplanecrazy1989]

Nice video :) Always wanted to be in the upper deck...

[xDeRyAxBx]

[PhilG380]

@xDeRyAxBx I usually won't comment to ghetto speak, but could you please rephrase your comment with correct spelling and grammar? Don't you mean, "Whoa, LOL. Only just noticed THE size of THE window."

[xDeRyAxBx]

[PhilG380]

@xDeRyAxBx Again, don't you mean, "That is one funky looking plane there? LOL. Haha. What's going on with the wing?" -

For God's sake, speak English! I know you do.

[xDeRyAxBx]

@PhilG380 i unno xD das wha am askin u's lol it lookz like its not made right O.o xD n yeah i no i do 2 ;)

[SirDeanosity]

@PhilG380 For God's sake (literally) stop making fun of people and the way they communicate. Are some of the less understandable British accents, terms, and spellings on your list also. You will not draw someone to your way of living by attacking who and what they are. You need to first meet them where they are and even then the choice is theirs as to whether or not to adopt your ways.

[deltha2013]

wow thts a long roll and a speedy take-off nice vid

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

United uses Pratt and Whitney engines on their 744's.

[Sho69607]

Are those RR RB211'S on that plane?

[bballmanager]

what date was this filmed?

[VIR092]

The Boeing 747-400 universe is so dazzling when you first look at it, I can remember at thirteen! Now I know it better than the back of my hand.

Regards to all.

=O)

[BNSFFREAK747]

Hopefully the merger with CO will not follow through.

[jetairways773]

[halo2windows]

[emavro1]

I have done this flight a couple of times and it is 12-13 hours, depending on weather.

[BlackChromeJoker]

IS THIS A NON-STOP FLIGHT?

[PhilG380]

Yes, it is.

@KartKing4ever - Currently the cheapest fare is about $5300 return on this route for Biz.

[Trevorpilot123]

Hey! Nice video! Did you like your visit to Tokyo? I also like your United 001 video, too.

[PhilG380]

I just transited Tokyo. I was headed to Bangkok. This flight left 3 hours late, and I had to run to catch the flight from Tokyo to Bangkok. Had no idea it would be a 7 hour flight from there!

[Trevorpilot123]

Oh. Did you like Bangkok?

[james71089]

[DeltaAirlinesFlyer]

Nice Vid! I would guess this was taken at about seat 23 or maybe 25 k?

[PhilG380]

I'm not sure, it was the upper deck, near the rear.

[DeltaAirlinesFlyer]
