United Economy Plus SUCKS

On a recent UNITED AIRLINES flight from Germany to the U.S., I was in Economy Plus, where they SAY there is more legroom. As you will see in this video, not only was there not "more legroom," but a stronger case could be made about the LACK of legroom. The stupid metal box that United puts under the seat to "play videos"!!! Unreal! Note to United: I have a 32Gb player that is about the size of a credit card!! What MORON decided these stupid boxes were a good idea??? UNITED SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!! (I should probably be ashamed, too, for the very amateur attempt at video editing -- thanks for being patient!!)

economy plus on United is awesome, i flew 777 MUC - ORD over the summer, awesome .... room for my huge backpack and my legs , would pay $200 roundtrip for it again, and it seemed bugger than in this video

@SRPSKAchetniK I do like the fact that there is an Economy Plus. But I had those metal boxes. And on this particular flight, the Economy Plus section was exceptionally bad. No reason at all -- in this day and age -- for nearly every seat to have such a huge metal box to contact the entertainment system. It just sucked.

Hi, Did United do anything for you afer you complained?...Did you complain at the time?....Also, which airports where ou flying to and from? I've emailed customer service about the metal box last week but they haven't replied yet.

@rg85597 Sorry for the long delay this reply. No, United hasn't done a thing. I DO like Economy Plus -- but I HATE those metal boxes. They absolutely suck. And I have complained, too, but United is far too busy with this new (also horrible) merger with my least-favorite airline, Continental. Oh, well ...

what a pathetic moron. maybe you should go fly on an airline without an E+ product (such as, oh yes, every other American airline). stop complaining, man up,and buy a business class seat you whining child,

[Deltari09]

Zatoichi...don't be a bitch. If you are going to complain about a stupid box, why don't you spend $12,000 for a business class ticket for a seat with your little 'legroom'

[Al123456ize]

this is why i fly first class everything is so cheap and yucky in regular seating.

[xplane5000]

This is why i fly jetblue, Their standard is almost uniteds first class.

@ColKlink0 LOL!!! No. Those ugly metal boxes DO NOT contain life-vests! They contain the entertainment system for the video players built into the seats. Problem is that my iPhone has 65Gb -- and holds 40 movies. And it is NOT the size of a tool box. You OBVIOUSLY must be a United shill. I wish I could afford $8,000+ to fly Business class. I DO NOT expect Business class seats in Economy, but don't expect a tool box under the seat in front of me.

Try Eva Air next time it is better

@exptimezh Yes, I think it was a 777. The boxes weren't under every seat -- under the very middle, for example. But every aisle seat had one -- and so did the man sitting next to me. AND the divider bars underneat the seats -- which are normally directly under each arm rest and equally divide the leg space -- those bars on this plane were spaced differently. And the leg space on my particular seat was reduced to give room to the man next to me, making is especially bad for me.

Wanna share which plane this is? 777, I assume? I don't recall the box being under every seat; did your neighbor also have one? Let me point out that the box problem exists on many airlines, and that when this plane was made, that was the size of an IFE system. Also, for the seatguru fans: Seatguru does not report the location of the IFE boxes on UA 777's, though for some reason I remember it did.
