Here’s a quick review of a redeye flight on United’s ancient but comfortable 777-200 “HD” configuration in first class. In fact, I can sum up the experience in three words: we slept soundly.
I do have a soft spot for this particular aircraft, though, becuase I “came of age” flying it…so many wonderful trips around the world in this seat and I did (and still do) prefer it the ex-Continental B/E Diamond seat (the seat we still see on United’s 757-200 fleet).
Heidi and I were heading to Nashville for a funeral via Chicago and I booked us directly into business class because I knew we’d have a long day before the trip and a long day in Nashville. A redeye was necessary so I chose the only option with a lie-flat seat that would get us to BNA in time for the memorial service: United via ORD.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
