I finally stopped avoiding United and gave their 777-300ER Premium Plus (premium economy) experience a try. Honestly? I was shocked. From the cozy 3-row cabin to Saks Fifth Avenue blankets and some unexpected surprises along the way, this flight turned out way better than I expected.
This is a full review of United 838 from Tokyo Narita to San Francisco. I had seat 21D, and the aircraft registration was N2846U.
00:45 – Checking in
01:50 – Terminal 1 NRT
03:33 – Boarding process
04:21 – First look at Premium Plus seat (21D)
06:19 – Departure
07:15 – In-flight entertainment (IFE)
08:18 – Main meal service
09:55 – Seat comfort (and recline)
10:17 – Mid-flight snack
11:03 – Pre-landing meal
11:45 – Final thoughts
