The plane ride to Beijing was
exhausting and frustrating. From Toronto we had a layover in Chicago before
arriving in Beijing. We flew with United Airlines the whole way. I was actually
really glad that we were flying with a star alliance airline because I am
obsessed with points and my Aeroplan. I normally only fly with Air Canada, but
the seat sale was ridiculous that I had to put my preference aside. The flight
from Toronto to Chicago was smooth, although it did not have in-seat
entertainment the leg room was generous. However, it was the flight from
Chicago to Beijing that really frustrated me. There was almost no leg room AND
no in-seat entertainment!! I can’t help but think, “some people on this flight
probably paid more than a $1000 for a shitty food and seats.” Again, I mean, I
can’t really complain I got a good deal but it’s so hard to imagine that some
of the domestic united airlines flights offer much better comfort level than
the international ones. So if anyone is ever planning to flying United airlines
747-400’s try to avoid it! On our way back we will be flying United Airlines
from Tokyo to Denver on their 787 Dreamliner so I’m definitely looking forward
to that and I’m hoping that they can redeem themselves.
