Last week, we posted on the ultra-premium First Class suites on Singapore Airlines. While you can consider that the Bentley of air travel, today's post on United's upcoming First Class suite is more like a Buick. The S-shaped cabins is designed to give passengers more privacy and the seat reclines into a fully flat bed. Other amenities include iPod connectivity, large video monitor and drawers. Ho hum. The new First Class suite will be introduced on selected international routes during 2008 and 2009.
As a United Premier Executive member, I've been on my fair share of United First Class flights. My feeling is that while you can make the cabin more luxurious, you still won't have a first-rate First Class experience until you replace the surly "Grandmas of United" aka United stewardesses. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen any time soon.
