Does anyone know the amenities that are provided in P+?
1. Earphones?
2. Alcohol?
3. Pillow?
4. Blanket?
Thank you.

One could imagine corporate travel policies eventually being modified to only allow PE for daytime flights or flights in between 6-9 hours which would cannibalize J revenue. Part of reducing the risk of that is rebranding it Business and PE instead of the old-school First and Business.

The rebranding of old world First to new world business and old world business to new world PE has a bit to do with trying to make sure business passengers buy what’s called business class. With larger business class cabins that are all lie flat there is a case to be made that business travelers need to be able to sleep on long hauls so they arrive and can work. The main business risk of PE is not that some portion of Y passengers won’t pay a premium for Y, but that eventually businesses who would otherwise buy J buy PE instead because it is offered.

I was just on the SAS A340 and I think it had deviders on both sides. I agree, leg rest worked very well. Food was the Y food, but on China, and with champaign and snacks. But I found the SAS food to be much better than what UA gives in domestic First. I happily ate what SAS served, would not say that about UA's food...

The flight ended up not having P+. Not sure when they changed as had been P+ config for most of the reservation. It has been a very long time since I sat in E+ for TATL. Fortunately I was bulkhead window but for some reason the FAs turned on all the lights when handing out the midnight snack and it woke me up and I could not get back to sleep even after the finally turned the lights back off.
So still to experience my first P+ flight, but the icecream was very good!

On my flight IAD - NRT no headphones, no blankets. Regular Y service. I bought 4 Dewars and was charged for 4. Not that I'm complaining but on most of my IAD to Europe flights if I buy 4 I'm always paying for 2 or 3. The seat itself was nicer than Lufthansa's PE. I had bulkhead seat 20K (I think) and it had plenty of leg room.
Would I pay around $250-300 for upgrade from regular Y? Yes, but only if the food was not the same as Y.
Is anyone on this board that eats this s$#t that United serves in Economy class? No matter what you get, you always get crap with some green mush, some red mush and chicken (I think it's a chicken).

Premium Economy seating feedback for 777-300ER?
I was looking around and all I saw was discussion on seat reassignments, but I couldn't find any feedback on the actual seats.
My UA90 EWR-TLV just got this seat map, I'm assuming it means premium economy. I'm now debating myself if it's better to stay in the aisle seat 35D (aisle access without forcing someone up is important to me) or better to do 22F because maybe there's a bunch of extra space between seats, or maybe they're just so much better it's worth it to leave the 3-4-3 config, or perhaps 22F doesn't have any recline like domestic first last row typically don't.
Any comments or experiences/links are appreciated
Thanks
