United claims to offer their full Premium Plus (premium economy) experience on select domestic routes. But is it as good as what they offer on international routes? I had to see for myself.

In this video, I’m flying United’s 787-9 Dreamliner from Los Angeles to Newark to find out if the service, seat, and overall vibe are worth the upgrade.

I had seat 21F, and the aircraft registration was N24979.
