I try my best to provide the most accurate information I can, but please note I cannot 100% guarantee I got everything correct. Ticket inclusions could have changed from when I booked it, and all inclusions may not be listed on this description page. The content shown in this video may not be shown in order of when it was filmed, and may sometimes be from a different day. Videos may also be sped up without it saying so on screen. This video is based on my personal experience and thoughts and could differ for you. I did not inform the airline that I would be filming prior to the flight (unless stated otherwise), and the airline didn't have any say in what made it into this video. #tripreport #unitedairlines #b787 #boeing #boeing787 #aviation #flightreview #economyclass
