United Global First is really nice! Although you do not have that bed like the 747-400 has.

Did I miss anything?

I don't think any1 has anything to worry about UA says they are not going to honor the tickets and they are going to be cancelled but yet no1 was cancelled.
I figured out the reason i was cancelled, when deals like this come out I know calling will kill the deal. I realized after the deal was dead that i didn't book a seat for my 3 month old daughter I wanted to call them to find out how much it would cost to put her on my reservation and I was careful never to give over any info.
The problem is I called the 1K desk and in order to talk to a 1K rep you need to give you MP#.

Never call for anything

Has anyone here ever flown business first on United long haul two class plane? How is the experience?

Is it anything even remotely similar to E's insanely amazing drool inducing photos?

If not is it at least great?

E · « **Reply #1127 on:** July 19, 2012, 12:56:45 PM »

United is nothing like the LH photos, nothing at all.

I flew first class on a PS flight from San Fransisco to JFk. It was really nice. Go on to youtube and search for United Global First. It's a really nice product.

This appears to be the guy whose flight was cancelled in DEN. Well I am glad everything worked out in the end.

FTFY

Next week. I don't feel comfortable posting my specific plans, but if anybody is in the East in the new few weeks shoot me a PM

As promised, an update from my friend who is currently flying on one of the 4-mile tix..

Quote from: jfkeze;18959405

A certain FlyerTalker is now in the Air somewhere over the Pacific. I'm sorry but I can't reveal details as to departure city and destination. But trust me, this is not a drill. The FT will post on this thread once on or over American soil.

Sorry for not mentioning the name of this FT. But we have one of us already in the air! :D:D:D

PS: Seems like United is serving a 2006 Champagne on that flight in F... Yeah, no krug/Dom but better than a California sparkling wine!

Quote from: FriendlySkies;18959413

And I'm going to vouch for this post, as it talks about a mutual friend. ^

So far, so good

Quote from: SFO777;18959416

And another.
Friend had the same OLCI experience as you yesterday. Airport kiosk spit out his TPAC F BP and he boarded without a problem. He is currently in the air no doubt enjoying vintage wines and gourmet cuisine that UA GlobalFirst is famous for.

An update:

Quote from: FTer

Guys, and gals this deal is still holding up for the time being. I have just gotten off either a Global First or Business First flight.
I am currently waiting for my connection on American or American territory soil.
Will report back in a couple hours when I'm at my final destination with a Full TR with all the details and pics.
Thanks for your understanding

Nice. But NOTHING like the first product of the asian and europian airlines.
