Default How are United and US Airways for int'l flights?


Specifically, a friend has found that they are the lowest-cost providers between Atlanta and Seoul. I've flown that route with Delta/Korean Air, and my flight was pretty roomy with good service. Can my friend expect the same if he flies on United or US Airways?I'll appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I did fly with United to Europe and was very happy with them. International flights are great. They offer more for you, like individual screens for you to watch programs, listen to music, ect. I went on the same route with United as well as Delta and Northwest/KLM and they are very comparable.

Yeah. United and US Airways are both higher class airlines, usually costing more than Delta. So, if you think Delta/Korean Air is good, then Untied or US Airways should be better!

You'd be better off flying Korean Air (KE). American Carriers have always been below par for their Food, Service, Seat and Entertainment offerings compared to their Asian Counterparts such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Malaysian Airlines. From ATL - ICN (Seoul), I would suggest trying:Asiana Airlines, Connecting at Los Angeles (LAX)ATL-LAX-ICNSingapore/Delta Airlines, Connecting at SFO.ATL-SFO-ICNBut if you're more price concerned, I would suggest Korean Air. Oh and btw guys, they don't offer leather seats in Economy, not even on Business and First on United Airlines Flagship International planes, i.e. Boeing 747/777Personal Tv's are available on Business and First Class on United on International Services, however on Economy, there isnt' AVOD (Audio and Video on Demand), but there still is at least a PTV. Whilst Korean Air/Singapore Airlines offer greater leg room, 34 Inch, compared to a lowly 31 Inch on United, with Personal Tv's with AVOD in all classes

US Airways doesn't actually fly to Asia. They don't have the route rights and they don't have an aircraft with transpacific range. If you found such a flight, it is a "code-share" (probably a United flight that is double-listed with a US Airways flight number).I've flown United to both Europe and Asia. (That's because my employer made me fly them. I'd never do that to myself voluntarily!) The service was about the same as their domestic service - mediocre on a good day and bad on the others. I generally try to avoid United and Northwest. Almost any other airline that I've flown has been better. Asian carriers are usually a lot better.

I've read in Conde Nast traveler that Singapore Air is great. On that long of a flight, I wouldn't go with just anybody. Check http://www.seatguru.com to see how much legroom you'll have on the flight, or you may be sorry. Different airlines have different amounts of legroom, service, etc., even in Economy.

as a person who flew to Asia a few months ago from Seattle on United I can tell you don't fly them. The seats are so close together, if the person in front of you reclines the seat, good luck in getting up. It is almost like they are in your lap. It was crowded (full plane). The only decent thing was the food oh yeah and the movies they offered for free.

I flew with United from Munich to O'Hare. I'm very satisfied. Excellent stewardesses, and the food was surprisingly good too. The screens above the aisle were placed excellently so you could see the movies, which cannot be said about Delta.
