That foot well was torture. Unable to sleep, no comfort in any position.
If I were couple inches shorter maybe would be OK ( I'm 5'11). With the taper, room for only 1 foot. They need some memory form or padding on the hard plastic and metal. It was painful and uncomfortable.
Would never choose to fly this again. Would rather do DL via ATL or AA via DFW, even the old AA 763 slant flat is superior to this.
On a positive note, the food was pretty good. But no menu. No description of anything. DL not only has menu, but gives you (tumi) amenity kit on this domestic route....
My flight attendants on both UA 144 and UA 145 were thoughtful enough to describe both the breakfast and dinner options to me. The female f/a were nicer than their male counterparts, which had an inordinate amount of attitude. I am 6'2" and was able to sleep on my side in 7L and 3A. That said, I prefer Delta's 767 first class configuration, 1-2-1.
