15 days after you flew United airlines, Boeing 777-200 to Los Angeles, I flew the exact plane, but from Houston to Honolulu and the flight is good, 7 and a half hour medium haul flight on the longest trans pacific flight to Hawaii on the Boeing 777-200, the non ER. This is super rare to see United airlines, Boeing 777-200, the non ER that can fly from Houston to Honolulu for 7 to 8 hours on a medium to almost long haul trans pacific flight to Hawaii, which I flew Last March and the flight is good and okay.

Untied doesn't have TV's on their domestic 777's. They have around 20 of their 777's outfitted in an economy heavy domestic layout, and this is one of them. United chose to go the same way as American and Southwest on these planes. They offer you wifi that allows you to connect for free to their on-board entertainment selection. So basically, the bring your own screen method. So, it's not like they don't have IFE, you just have to have a wifi capable device.

I imagine it will eventually be completed painted, but since this aircraft has the P&W engines that on one of their 777's disintegrated departing DEN, I think the engines had to go through a lot of checks and maintenance before they were allowed back in service. I would imagine this is why most of United's P&W 777 fleet has this mismatched paint scheme at the moment.

United actually has around 24 of their 777's outfitted for "domestic" service. They use them on their hub to hub flights like this one and the one you took from SFO to DEN. They also use them on their Hawaii flights form IAH, DEN, and SFO. LAX sometimes too, although they usually get 757's. These "domestic" 777's are their older 777's like the one in this video. They have a more dense configuration, and the first/business class is nowhere near as nice as their international configured 777's. As you can see in this video, their domestic 777's also don't have IFE screens. Anyway, United's domestic 777's are some of the more "reliable" domestic wide bodies you can find in the US. Even during the summer months, when the airlines put most of their wide bodies on sessional European flights, United's domestic 777's pretty much stay domestic. Thanks for watching my friend!

What makes the A320neo so quiet with these engines makes them so loud on the triple 7
@sla31
Жыл бұрын
Well, newer technology has allowed engine manufacturers to slow down the engine's fan blades. What is so loud on older engines is the fan blades breaking the speed of sound as they spin. So, the roaring or buzzing sound you hear is thousands of small sonic booms being created by the tips of the fan blades. On new generation engines the fan blades often don't break the speed of sound, so that coupled other new tech, means they are much quieter.

Why do they choose such a big plane for such a short flight?
@sla31
8 ай бұрын
There are several reason why airlines in the US often use large wide body aircraft on such short domestic routes. United even has a full sub fleet of 777-200's specifically configured for domestic use. Here are some of the main reasons. First, sometimes people forget how massive and populated the United States is. For the example in this video, which is Houston to Los Angeles, let's just look at the base populations for a second. Los Angeles is the second largest metro area by population in the US and Houston is the fourth largest. Together, their total metro populations is almost 20 million people. That is more base population between those two cities than most countries in the world. So, with that many people alone in the markets, it justifies flying large wide bodies. You won't have any trouble filling them up. Second, IAH and LAX are both major hubs for United. They have to funnel tons of people between those two hubs everyday. Hub to hub routes are always busy for major airlines and you'll often find American, United and Delta running regular wide bodies between hub airports. Again, there's already a major base of passengers between the two markets, and they also have to fly a lot of connecting passenger through there too. Third, although this is not the case here since this is one of Untied's domestic 777's, other times airlines often need to fill a wide bodies time. And what I mean by that is something like this. Say American has a 777-300 flight from London to Miami, but they then want to use that plane to fly Dallas to Madrid. Maybe both of those flights can be completed in one 24 hour period. Well, why not reposition that plane with passengers, so it's still making money. So, instead of doing LHR-MIA then sitting for hours before heading back to LHR, or LHR-MIA and then ferrying the plane empty to operate DFW-MAD, instead the plane does LHR-MIA-DFW-MAD. Which optimizes the planes time and means it doesn't have to sit in Miami for 8 hours or fly a ferry leg. And last, airline crews have to perform so many flights on each aircraft type in set amounts of days to remain "current" on the type. Sometimes that can be difficult to do if you only operate 15 777-300's and they're always operating 12 hour flights. So, sometimes large planes are used to operate short routes to give crew the segments and availability needed to keep them all current. These are some of the main reasons why US airlines use wide bodies on such short routes. Hope that helps!

United has two very differently outfitted 777's. They have these here, with no IFE screens and a very dense configuration. These are their P&W outfitted 777-200's. Not 200/ER's. These are some of the very first 777's every delivered. They are configured in a "domestic" layout and have a very small first class cabin. They're used for domestic hub to hub flights and their IAH, DEN, SFO, and ORD to Hawaii flights. On the other side of this coin you have their still old, but newer 777-200/ER's. Those 777's do have IFE screens and they also have a very large United Polaris Business cabin. They are very nice. They are their "international" 777's. Now, sometimes you can find their "international" 777's on Hawaii routes, but in general that's pretty much how they break their two very different 777 fleets up.
