What to Expect in UA Business Class to CUN/Cancun (seat, lounge, meals, amenities,..)
Well, technically the fare class is R but they call it 'United Business' , not United F
Wondering if there will be an amenity kit? Good meal service?
Anything special since technically its an Intl F seat?

I flew "intl" F on 737-900 to Aruba couple months ago, was just a regular flight.

I haven't taken that exact route but I have taken BusinessFirst from IAD to Lima, Peru. We got a dinner, some alcohol and that's about it. I don't remember an amenity kit. It was nothing like the service you would get across the Atlantic. Don't get your hopes up. 
That route is NOT considered an international flight. Don't expect the same quality of seats as you would on a plane to Europe or Asia.

Business = Domestic First + UC access. In other words the only difference from domestic first will be that you can access the UC. The meals are the same and the only on-board amenities are a light blanket.
Business is different than BusinessFirst.

Note that UA will sell P fares on this route for around $800.

Update: Free DirectTV on the way out, no WiFi
On the way back, WiFi (for the last 40 minutes of flight) and NO VIDEO screens
Sorry, I still expect just a bit more out of an international flight in F
Fancy it up just a bit United - how about a small amenity kit?
And no video at all on an aircraft in 2014?
Laughable...

has anyone had the pleasure of experiencing the foot rests on any planes? I had one a few months ago from GUM-KIX. It was only seats 2AB however. But it was great having it.

well, supposedly similar to Domestic F - International Business then.
Other airlines I have flown in Business were much more impressive.
My point is that United should fancy it up just a bit. The flight was not memorable in any way
My expectations were not high after initial post anyway
