No reports from UA 975 Saturday night / Sunday morning?
I am truly surprised.

Sorry....delayed response.
I was on 914 (E+) and 975 (C) on Sunday, April 25th.
I really dont have much to add.
*I liked 31A/B. It is right near the curve in the aisle - but the recline was good and it was nice only having 1 person in the row with you. The lavs are in the area - so on a 12 hour flight it might get annoying - but was not an issue for 3 hours.
*The safety demonstration apparently does not work on the video screen - so the FA's were running up and down the aisle like crazy people.
*Service in C was a bit disjointed. No pre flight drinks etc.... I think it was a function of getting up to speed on the plane.
*The captain, first officer and purser kept mentioning the new plane and seemed very proud of it.
*I did not think C felt any more crowded than downstairs on the 747.
Thanks,
Chad
