Pardon my ignorance, it has been some time since I traveled on UA.

What are the headphone jacks like on Int'l Economy? Are they single-prong "walkman" type jacks or are they the two-prong types on many other airlines (LH, AC etc.)???

Thanks in advance.

Remember too that the dual pronged jacks are not the same. AC and LH have two pronged jacks, both prongs of which are the same size. Most adapters that come with headsets are of this nature. The UA two pronged jack (which are the noise cancelling) is two different sized prongs. The good thing is that the big prong is the audio so a standard headset works fine. The smaller prong is the noise cancelling feedback. So you are safe with a standard single prong connection.
