Got the new interior on EWR-ORD today in 7C. The seats are OK as long as you're sitting straight up and very into them. The seat bottoms seem much shorter and that makes any reclining or slouching painful after about an hour. I find them slightly better than WN's Devolve and much better than sCO 737s but a major downgrade from the great seats in the old Airbii interiors.
The aircraft I was on had no IFE even after shelling out $7 for the Wi-Fi. At least the Wi-Fi speed was pretty good, but I really wish UA would let us buy monthly Wi-Fi memberships for, say, $30 for their "valued" FFs that are flying often. Other airlines do this, why not UA?
With WN now supporting PreCheck and UA going to WN-like interiors & WN-like lack of entertainment, there's really nothing left to justify paying an extra $100 to fly UA vs. WN on my route. How's that for a change SMI/J will like?
