United Airlines Business Class San Francisco to Vienna, Austria

[dixondw13]

They keep the Icecream cold using dry ice/regular ice/and something that is called a chiller.

[sfflyer123]

@dixondw13 Yes, I learned about this subsequent to the flight. Thanks for the info, though!

[FSXPILOT5]

hahahhaha

[FSXPILOT5]

thats no lake thats an ocean

[sfflyer123]

@FSXPILOT5 Not sure what you're referring to?

[CommandoGuy360]

LONDON WAS AWESOME!!! The B-747 was excellent too, just like you said. If you have never been to London, I would HIGHLY recommend it. Really, really fun. :)

[sfflyer123]

@CommandoGuy360 Thank you. Yes, I've been to London about 5 times now. One of my trip reports is my trip to London, actually. It's a great city, I agree. Thanks.

[TCAS330]

Hey, when watching your video i wondered i heard some german by a stewardess?! Is it right they spoke a bit german at UA flight to germany?

[sfflyer123]

@TCAS330 Yes, they speak German on UA flight to Germany. Japanese on UA flight to japan. Chinese on UA flight to Taipei.

[TCAS330]

@sfflyer123 wow that is a cool service

[CommandoGuy360]

Hey, you uploaded this on my birthday! :D

[sfflyer123]

@CommandoGuy360 Well happy birthday!

[SteveB801]

Magnificent video! The most interesting thing here, besides the great planes, of course, is reading the wine list-always a tongue-twister...anyways, Great work! I really enjoyed viewing this. Isn't You Tube great? Thank you for sharing!!!

[sfflyer123]

@SteveB801 Thanks for your nice comment. I agree, youtube really makes things different in our world!

[louno20101]

I always have a dream of taking a vacation. My vacation is by watching someone else vacation, I can't afford it and I don't have vacation at my work, I know it sucks. I spent a lot of time watching the plane taking off and landing on Youtube, it looks so nice. Single dad and single sad. I hope when my girl is getting out of college and get her own job and have her own family, I will save up and do some travelling if my health permit me. I hope you had a lot of fun.

[sfflyer123]

@louno20101 Thank you for your comment. Hopefully one day, you'll get to go on a great trip! Thanks for the thoughts.

[pedro20mexico]

@louno20101 hey!!! same here!!! =( right now i can't afford something like this..... probably someday i'll have the chance to travel =D

[CphSpotting]

Very nice video, super view :) United Airlines looks like a great airline!

[sfflyer123]

@CphSpotting Thank you!

[2001Randomperson]

Oh right

[SuperBCP2010]

looked like a nice smooth ride

[sfflyer123]

@SuperBCP2010 Yes, it was very nice. Thanks.

[2001Randomperson]

I would fly from San Francisco To Vienna Via Frankfurt instead of flying trough Chicago

[sfflyer123]

@2001Randomperson I would also, but I couldn't get a confirmed upgrade SFO-FRA. The only confirmable upgrade was SFO-ORD-FRA, unfortunately. That's why I connected.

[robandricm]

I've been to that square many times....:)

[sfflyer123]

@robandricm Nice! It's Stephanzplatz, right?

[StormReturns]

Eat enough LOL?

[sfflyer123]

@StormReturns You should see how much food they give you on my Lufthansa videos! It's crazy there!

[sfflyer123]

@StormReturns You should see how much food they give you on my Lufthansa videos! It's crazy there!

[StormReturns]

@sfflyer123 Looked good just a bit much sitting on ur rear lol I will say urs was the best vid I seen of being in an airliner, added stuff, most you see it go up from inside and that is it! I've only been in small planes myself!

[sfflyer123]

@StormReturns Thank you for your kind words!

[StormReturns]

@sfflyer123 welcome

[StormReturns]

@sfflyer123 How long was the first leg than Chicago to Germany??

[sfflyer123]

@StormReturns It is 3 hours SFO-ORD and then 9 hours ORD-FRA.

[TALLboi870]

This vid is fantastic!! Awesome work man!

[sfflyer123]

@TALLboi870 Thank you very much!

[Lukas3nko]

Very nice video Good Job !! :)

[sfflyer123]

@Lukas3nko Thank you Lukas, for your kind words.

[gloryths]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! IT NOT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE THAT THESE WINGS AFFECT DURING THE FLIGHT!!! AND THE POWER OF THE ENGINES......Nature POWER

[sfflyer123]

@gloryths THANKS FOR THE COMMENT!

[hearts76100]

@sfflyer123

Tell me something....

Are you one of these guys that does this as a hobby?

Plane riding that is.

Thanks

[sfflyer123]

@hearts76100 Unfortunately, not. I am on a plane for work!

[hearts76100]

@sfflyer123

Damn....i wish i had your problem. haha

Cheers for getting back to me.

[TheMikestation11]

taking off very steep at 2:40

[sfflyer123]

@TheMikestation11 Yes, wasn't it? Thanks.

[CommissarASSHOLE]

We saw more of the fruit given during this trip than of the aircraft...lol.

[sfflyer123]

@CommissarASSHOLE Lol! Yeah, I know. If you look at my trip video to Rome, you can see much more of the aircraft since we are on the ground and ride the bus directly next to the plane. Much better view of the plane there. 

[slagerboom]

For what airlines?

[sfflyer123]

@slagerboom United.

[slagerboom]

What's the red carpet club?

[sfflyer123]

@slagerboom It's the lounge.

[CommandoGuy360]

i`ve never been on a B-747 before. whats it like???

[sfflyer123]

@CommandoGuy360 It is excellent! you will love it.

[CommandoGuy360]

@sfflyer123 Thanks!! I am taking one to LHR in 4 days. United Airlines. Great Video by the way!!

[sfflyer123]

@CommandoGuy360 Thank you! Have a great trip!

[America2France]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! How long was this flight?

[sfflyer123]

@America2France Thanks. It was about 11 hours total flight time. Thanks!

[1426patriot]

Love the sound of the high bypass turbofans at takeoff thrust!

[sfflyer123]

@1426patriot thanks. Great isn't it?

[OmerMaz757]

Good Food and flight, one of my most loveable combintaions!

[sfflyer123]

@OmerMaz757 Thank you for the nice comment!

[FlyUPS767]

I dont know why some people hate United. Surely it's not the best airline but it is very good

[sfflyer123]

@FlyUPS767 Thanks. I'd have to agree with your statement.

[thomaspiol]

Are the 747-400 the same 767's engines?

[sfflyer123]

@thomaspiol I am not so sure, actually!

[zippysilverhorn]

@sfflyer123 Variations of the same pratt and whitney PW4000 Series

[sfflyer123]

@zippysilverhorn Thanks for the good info!

[upiluften]

@thomaspiol A little bit. The 747 and 767 can both use the PW4000, GE CF6, and RB211. However, the 747 and 767 each use different variants of the same class of engines.

The A340 shares the same engine family as the 737. CFM56.

[upiluften]

@thomaspiol And nacelle shape changes.

[thomaspiol]

@upiluften I understand :), i always see those engines and think: They're the same

[MegaVikkkk]

@thomaspiol yes

[carnivalfunships1]

@thomaspiol No. 747's engine is produces more thrust and are slightly larger than 767.

[LeetHackTutorials]

@carnivalfunships1 actaully 767s are larger, the only use 2 engines which means you need to compensate. The 747s engines are usually 52,000 lbs. 767s are around 63,000. And an a330s engine is around 76,000

[freechello]

meal

[artur4467]

youre bad guy. showing good food for us. ohh i want some food of red carpet in sfo !!!

[sfflyer123]

@artur4467 Yeah, there isn't much to see, unfortunately!

[America2France]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[sfflyer123]

@America2France Thank you very much for your nice comment!

[mightymac63]

Excellent clip here sfflyer..Has United gone to in flight Wi-Fi yet? I know American has on their planes.

[sfflyer123]

@mightymac63 Thank you. Yes, it has, but only sporadically. It certainly has for the United PS flights, but it's slow to happen on the others. Thanks.

[ngdrumcorp]

Beautiful! I love your videos!

[sfflyer123]

@ngdrumcorp Thank you! You are too kind.

[macc29091968]

Excellent video mate, were on vacation or business?

[sfflyer123]

@macc29091968 Thank you! This was a business trip!

[cizzle107]

Do you miss the old United tulip logo?

God Bless,

Cizzle107

[sfflyer123]

@cizzle107 Thanks. I did at first, but now I'm getting used to the new United!

[devin1965]

Very nice video!

Thank You!

[sfflyer123]

@devin1965 Thank you for your comment!

[Snuffymoon]

Amazing experience for you, Do you have the goodies such as PJ clothes or Blanket for all the first class?

[sfflyer123]

@Snuffymoon Not at all. Nothing. Nada. Rien. Unfortunately. Thanks for the comment.

[henryapril1999]

@sfflyer123 looks like i'll be flying the 777 so just wanted to know if you recomend any good seats

[sfflyer123]

@henryapril1999 Excellent. I've never flown the new Configuration business class B777. I've only flown first in the new configuration. However, based upon what I've seen, I would deefinitely get one of the two-seat configuration seats instead of the 4-seat configuration ones, personally. I rely on seatguru alot, also, like you said, so I'd see what they would say. Thanks.

[cabrame]

The food looks great! lol

[sfflyer123]

@cabrame Thank you!

[jrob07105]

Thanks SOOOOOO much for posting this! I thought I was the only one "plane crazy" enough to record what you have recorded lol. I don't care what anybody says...flying is still a thrill and an event worth capturing on film. All in all it seems UA took good care of you food and amenities wise. Hope you keep recording your trips like this!

[sfflyer123]

@jrob07105 Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment. Yes, after flying a lot, people become disenchanted with flying, but part of keeping the excitement alive is to keep it fresh and keep the enthusiasm that we had when we were little kids. Thanks!

[ekweseman]

Maybe when United Airlines takes delivery of enough new Boeing 787 'Dreamliners', it will consider flying nonstop San Francisco-Vienna service.

[sfflyer123]

@ekweseman Yes, it will be great to fly the new B787 one day!

[henryapril1999]

Hi sfflyer I'm flying on the new confuguration and i've checked out seat guru who say that seats 7-9 are better, but what do you tthink?

[sfflyer123]

@henryapril1999 Which aircraft are you flying in? B777?

[2507YANKEL]

Plastic cup in C class- Tacky..

[sfflyer123]

@2507YANKEL U noticed, eh? 

[henryapril1999]

sorry that meant to sayi'm flying business in febuary and i wanted to know what the best seats are on the 777

[sfflyer123]

@henryapril1999 Hi Henry. Depends on which configuration you're flying. Are you in the new configuration 777 or the old?

[henryapril1999]

hi sfflyer, im flying united business inct

[TheHitesh2000]

awesome video!!

[sfflyer123]

@TheHitesh2000 thank you, Hitesh! You are too kind.

[upiluften]

Classy menu. Saul Bass would be happy to see that one of his favourite accounts has gone on to still be aesthetically pleasing.

[sfflyer123]

@upiluften Thank you! I had to google saul Bass, because I had no idea who you were talking about. Thanks for the comment!

[kesnerjp]

Hey, I know that you must get asked this question alot, but how come you fly Business and First class on your trips? Does your company pay your fare or do you save up miles?

[sfflyer123]

@kesnerjp I mainly just upgrade with miles. Sometimes, my company will pay for business class and then I upgrade to first with miles. Thanks.

[MarcusLeepapi]

Yeah, I love when the wings make their flex..It is nice...The power of "life" being done by our 747-400...Yes, nice!!!

[sfflyer123]

@MarcusLeepapi Thank you for your nice comment!

[MarcusLeepapi]

@sfflyer123 Yes, you are welcome...

[kesnerjp]

How come United doesn't fly to Vienna direct? Or they could at least fly to Vienna via Frankfurt. Why did you have to make the connection via Chicago?

[sfflyer123]

@kesnerjp Because I upgraded, and the upgrade was only available through chicago. If I flew SFO-FRA without a confirmed upgrade, I could have been in economy. Thus, i chose the guaranteed upgrade with a connection in Chicago.

[kesnerjp]

@sfflyer123 Oh, ok, I get it... Well that kinda sucks that the upgrade isn't available from SFO-FRA but hey, at least you flew Business!

Keep ou the good work, I love your videos! :)

[sfflyer123]

@kesnerjp Thank you very much!

[zxzv1]

@ 3:28 champagne in real glass or plastic glass ?? I've just seen homer3152 's vid or his experience on UA, FFA-Wash. & he was served in plastic glasses...LOL !

Anyway, next time want to see your review on Emirates or LH..Thnx!

[sfflyer123]

@zxzv1 That's a real glass, for sure! You will definitely see me in a first class TR one an international flight in the next few months. Thanks for your comment!

[DannyVids11]

0:25, xD The Grape is shaking.

[sfflyer123]

@DannyVids11 Hilarious! That is pretty cute. The shaking grape!

[radbcc]

Another good one.

[sfflyer123]

@radbcc Thank you!

[AF401]

you wonder how Ice cream doesn't melt after 6 hrs? well there's fridges and freezers in the aircraft.

I ate ice cream too once in-flight after 12hr from takeoff from CDG to SCL on a 14hr flight in Air France's B777-200ER and I saw the freezers when they were taking those yummy ice cream.

[sfflyer123]

@AF401 Thank you! Yes, i know that i saw a Captain on a plane count the weight that the dry ice had. They also carry dry ice for freezing, so that is another feature. Thanks.

[GreatElectricLocos]

French Toast N peaches, yummy... very impressive :)

[sfflyer123]

@GreatElectricLocos Thanks for your comment!

[irelandbloke]

Impressive

[sfflyer123]

@irelandbloke Thank you very much for your comment.

[SupertyphoonTom]

Very nice video! I enjoyed it and felt like I was right there with you! Thanks for sharing! Awesome job!

[sfflyer123]

@SupertyphoonTom Thank you so much!

[DaBaddy100]

Loving your video's! Especially the commentary! Good to finally find someone who doesn't complain about the horrible food and service offered on United. You're a very frequent flyer as well... keep up the amazing work!

[sfflyer123]

@DaBaddy100 Thanks for the comment. I always think that it's amazing to have any food at 35,000 feet!

[97alcons]

R u sure tha the coffee kept u awaken after all these moves??? :P

[sfflyer123]

@97alcons Good point. Maybe it was the movies!!

[rellermotza6]

Hast du keinen Non Stop Flug bekommen können?? Obwohl..diese Variante ist was für Flugfreunde.

[sfflyer123]

@rellermotza6 From google translate: "Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Sie haben keine direkten Flüge von San Francisco nach Wien. Sie wissen aus Chicago und anderen amerikanischen Städten, aber du musst für Wien zu verbinden. Danke."

[9753241860hb]

Thank you for sharing this with us!! The windows views looked amazing!!



[sfflyer123]

@9753241860hb Thank you very much for your nice comment. Glad that you enjoyed it!

[MrVuHNguyen]

Fantastic window view! I read somewhere that those engines are so powerful the plane can take off with just two given enough runway! Thank you!

[sfflyer123]

@MrVuHNguyen Thank you very much! Yes, I've heard somethign like that also. Pretty amazing, I think!

[faostube]

@MrVuHNguyen That is logical, engines put our power...all you need is the right speed to create lift. It can take off with even 1 engine like you said given enough runway but it can also fly on just 1 also, with greatly reduced range.

[faostube]

@MrVuHNguyen Too bad you didn't get the landing :/

[HHHappyHammer]

Again awesome video, I'm just cycling through some of your recent videos.

I've stood almost exactly where you were standing near St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. It brought back some great memories of a fantastic trip to Europe that we did.

[sfflyer123]

@HHHappyHammer Thank you very much. Yes, that is one of their main squares, isn't it? Thanks for the comment.

[HHHappyHammer]

@sfflyer123 Yes I think it is.

[747MAV]

Great video, i love flying United!

[sfflyer123]

@747MAV Thank you for your nice comment!

[aimpointcx4444]

Nice video, felt like i was along for the ride !

[sfflyer123]

@aimpointcx4444 Thank you very much for your comment!

[sashman3988]

so steep

[sfflyer123]

@sashman3988 Yes, pretty cool, eh?

[sashman3988]

@sfflyer123 Yeah, did you feel it?

[sfflyer123]

@sashman3988 Yes, it was awesome.

[sashman3988]

@sfflyer123 huh, must be up 20 deg

[thetitanicisdead]

could you do an economy class? thanks !

[sfflyer123]

@thetitanicisdead Yes, I will one day. However, it will be incredibly boring!

[freaKf11]

Niki is Niki Lauda's (3 time Formula 1 Champion) airline, correct?

[sfflyer123]

@freaKf11 Yes, I believe you are correct!

[Mahoney8T7]

3 people have never flown business class

[sfflyer123]

@Mahoney8T7 Which 3 people are those?

[nick71082]

@sfflyer123 The 3 dislikes you goofball!

[sfflyer123]

@nick71082 Oh, I have never really paid attention to the "likes" and "dislikes" category!

[mjk0123456789]

How did you like Austria? I'm Austrian and I go there all the time!

[sfflyer123]

@mjk0123456789 Austria is a great country, as you know! I really enjoy it. It has the charm of Germany, but it's much less stressful and more relaxed. It has great tradition and history and natural beauty. I really like those coats they wear. It's a great place!

[dirac33]

Very entertaining!

[sfflyer123]

@dirac33 Thank you!

[sfflyer123]

@maxRAFavfc But you guys have great clotted cream, luxury cars (rolls royce, bentley), and great tradition and history!
