In reply to Michele Peterson ( A Taste for Travel). I always worry about legroom on long-haul flights because I'm afraid of getting DVT.

In reply to Denis Gagnon. Yes, I think it is only on the planes that fly coast-to-coast (long-haul).

In reply to Sue Reddel. Next time I might dare to ask a flight attendant to plug it in for me:-)

In reply to Patti Morrow. Unfortunately, there are few good choices for the economy traveler! JetBlue is one of my favorites.

In reply to The GypsyNesters. I try to check out types of planes with SeatGuru but that only helps a bit...

Thanks for the insight on the United ps flights. Since we live in the Washington Dc area, a United Airlines hub, we fly that airline fairly regularly but have never experienced the ps service. It would seem that we are not missing out on much!

You’re so right. Domestic US air travel has become so uncomfortable and costly. I’m lucky to have status on most of the airlines I use otherwise it would be unbearable. And couldn’t agree with you more on the “free” electrical plug it’s always hard to reach and doesn’t always work. I know we sound like a bunch of whiners but if you offer this service shouldn’t it at least work? PS sounds like BS to me.

Air travel has gotten to be such a pain! United is definitely not my favorite airline, but I haven’t tried the premium service. Not sure it’s worth the extra $$$ — it could really add up with so many flights to take!

Seems like the age and condition of the planes we fly varies widely even on the same airline. Often even on the same routes. I’m not sure we would even notice this “premium” service.

Good info to know about United P S Premium service. I’m not sure it would be worth the extra money for me for the extra leg room but six hours is at the borderline point where I do begin to wish the flight would just be over ( unless of course I’m in Business Class ..in which case fly on!) I just flew KLM regular economy to Greece and it was pretty miserable because there was a power system under the seat in front that took up the leg room

In reply to Nancie. An upgrade is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

I have this vision in my head of you trying to find that plug. You have to wonder what the designers/engineers are thinking when they do things like this. Obviously, they have never been contained in a small space for hours wanting to use an electronic device! The meal service, or lack of it, doesn’t exactly fit my definition of premium service. I’ve only flown United once, and that was part of a leg between Nova Scotia and Seoul, and a very short leg. I boarded in Japan for the less than 2 hour flight. I actually did receive an upgrade to business, so it was a nice way to end a very long flight.

In reply to Catherine Sweeney. I sure hope the new leadership at United changes the game!
