Question: United Airlines ORD to HKG

[Sailfast 503]

Just wondering about the service, seats, food, and in-flight entertainment is on the United Airlines; Chicago to Hong Kong flight?

I've been flying Cathay Pacific, JFK to HKG direct. Thing is, it's 2 1/2 hrs drive to JFK. I can get connecting flight to Chicago at a much closer airport (20 minutes).

 

Thanks...

If you have already book the flight my condolecs. as a star alliance gold exc member i get eco plus seats. eco plus makes the 15+ hour flight bareable. when they use 777 with seat back movies and free drinks for everyone it was ok. last time thur it was older 747 eco plus.one movie for all and pay for alcoholic drinks. they accepted credit cards and debit cards only. NO CASH. if you use credit card to buy ticket then they will charge it for you even if you do not have it on you. bussines class and frist class are the same outstanding service and good food. all drinks free etc. sfo and lax still use 747 also. do not know if you go thru sea/tec. do not know about baggage charge for international flights as gold member i still get 3 bags at 70lbs free. airline food same as always in eco class. hope this helps.

p. s. sorry for spelling the spell check is not working.

No I did not book the flight yet. That is exactly the information I was looking for. No seat back movies???lol Fuck that.

 

Looks like it's time for me to dump star alliance and start racking up the miles with someone else. Since ThaiAir stopped the JFK to BKK route there is not much available that's reasonable. ANA is great but too expensive.

 

Thanks again.
