Turn Down Service?

(b) F has a huge amount of personal space, including 3 storage bins: 1 large and 2 small. No, I haven't been on those Emirates first suites that we see advertized, but believe me, the hard product is really good in UA F.

(c) I thought the food was quite good. No, not restaurant fine dining, but comparable to meals that I've in premium classes in BA and VS recently.

(d) As far as service, UA's major challenge is *consistency*. It can be very good - I hope you get some of the SF-based male FAs - they seem to be the best (for some reason)

Have a nice flight!
Sting,
Were you offered turn-down service on the flight where the FA makes up your bed and puts down an extra sleeping pad?
