This is a report of my holiday to Las Vegas.
I decided to book united flight,because I was a user of their mileage program(Mileageplus).I was collecting their mile to redeem ANA domestic flight,so United was best option for both milage run and holiday trip.
I arrived at Haneda airport at 12:05 from Chitose airport,Using Skymark(I will report it soon).
United flight depart at 6 pm. So I had 5 hours before flight,I decided to go to the town for lunch.
Then,I enjoyed Singapore Chicken rice(I don't know why I went to singapore restaurant)
After Enjoyed lunch,I headed back to Haneda airport again.
Check-in was more smooth than I had expected.So I could use extra time for Spotting.
STAR WARS livery B787 was arrived.It looks very cool,and My ship arrived followed by it.
Haneda Airport was big and super-cleanness.And Old Japanese town was interesting,it is a shopping district.
Unfortunately,Gate 147 was far end of the terminal.I had to walk a long distance.
At the gate,I was noticed 15 minutes delaye of departing time.However,Boarding started almost on time.
My seats was middle low,because all window seats were already occupied.I was disappointed at check-in.But,Now I found my next seat was empty in spite of crowded flight.It was a great bonus for 9 hour flight.
Seat pitch was small and outdated IFE,and what is worse,IFE audio jack was broken and no sound.Fortunately, They had on-board wifi which could stream movie and contents to my table.It was much more useful than outdated small IFE.
After take off,Drink service started initially. I chose Apple juice and snack.
Meal was provided followed by drink service.
I chose "karaage"(Japanese fried chicken).It was not edible, and it was a worst in-flight meal for me.
After meal,The cabin turned dark.I tried to sleep,but moderate turbulence was occurred every 5 minutes and disrupted my sleep.But,I got a 5 hours sleep finally.
Before 2 hours of landing,Second meal(Breakfast) was distributed.I chose omelet and sausage.It was decent and nice breakfast.
Landing was smooth,thanks to pilot.I felt that US pilots tend to land softly and smoothly.
When disembarking,I asked cabin crew to show me a cockpit.Then,She asked pilots.
Fortunately,I was permitted to enter cockpit and be seated captain seat.I was excited like a children.
Thanks for the report ! If you had not said you had karaage, I couls not have guessed ! The first meal doesn't look good....
About the Wifi on board, was it included in the price of your ticket, or did you have to pay an additional fee ?
Thank you for your comment.I modified " karaage".
I connected wifi.however,I didn't use internet service.I use only free streaming service.
I don't remember exactly but Internet connection may cost about $30 for a day.
こんにちは！
この飛行報告を書いて、どうもありがとうございました。
すみません。米国の高校で日本語の学生だから、日本語が下手です。。。笑
アメリカでは、ユナイテッド航空は国内線にすごくよくないでしょ。日本で、ANA、日本航空、とStarFlyerは米国の航空会社よりずっと良いです。
pmUAのボーイング777-200のエンターテイメントも良くないです。そうですね。
僕が日本に飛んでいたら、ANAを選びます。来年日本に来たいと思います。
映画 『君の名は』が好きですか？
僕はこれを読んで楽しんです。もう一度に会いたい。
どうぞお元気で。
If I may comment, IMHO the service of Japanese Airlines on domestic flights is not as good as for international flights. For example usually you get a drink and a candy, but nothing more. However, it's true that the personnel is generally more careful and polite than in US carriers.
コメントありがとう!!
Your Japanese is much better than my English.(I'm no native of English,too).I like US carrier because their operation is very efficient.Japanese carrier is too polite ,on the other hand they lack of efficient and slow service(But carefully).
If you come to Japan,Enjoy your trip and have a nice flight!
Thanks for this flight report on United. I do agree on the first meal in terms of taste and portion size compared to ANA longhaul. During the flight, however, does United offer a mid-flight snack on this route?
The cockpit of the 777 also looks great! I hope to ask for a visit when I fly United sometime.
