Flying United's Second-Longest Flight | San Francisco to Singapore 787-9 Trip Report [UA29]

Описание: Have you ever wondered what 16 hours crammed in the back of United economy is like? I found out so you never have to! Back in August, I flew United from San Francisco to Singapore as part of a $750 trip from Toronto to Singapore to Vancouver. This was a bare bones economy ticket, so preferred seating was pretty much out of the question. That meant that fresh off a 5-hour trip in Air Canada economy from Toronto, I had the pleasure of cramming into a 31’ x 17’ seat that would be my home for most of an entire day.

Other than showing you what United’s ultra-long haul economy product is like, I wanted to give you some of my favourite tips and tricks for surviving 10hr+ flights in the back. If you have any of your own tips to share, drop them in the comments below!

As always, huge thanks for watching and the support. Don’t forget to like, drop a comment and subscribe!

THE TICKET
I paid $785 (CAD) for this ticket, which was from Toronto to Singapore through San Francisco, and returning to Vancouver through Tokyo on ANA. This came after a few weeks searching for a fun trip on ITA Matrix, and I had to book it through a travel agent. Luckily, I had an amazing one with Andrew at RTW Travel. Definitely check him out if you get the chance!
