I got into Dubai last night from Dulles on a UAL 777. I picked up a bottle of fine Vodka for the 4 man cockpit crew. A very large stick of Toblerone and a large box of Taffy for the cabin crew. I was asked a bunch about the attractions and what to do's in Dubai from the crew. I was graciously given a first class seat and was very very thankful. From my standpoint I could not of been any happier.
However, from a paying passengers standpoint, I think UAL needs to improve their product. The food did not taste very good. The steak tasted like it had been cooked days prior, and simply reheated. (which is what really did happen). LOL. In my opinion, you get more bang for your buck in business class, than you do in first. The seats almost lie flat in business, you get the same food, same movies, same everything. But your paying double the price.
I have to admit though, I got on, sat down, started eating an hour later, watched a movie, went to sleep, the next thing I know, we only have 2 hours and 30 minutes to go. I must of been knocked out for 7 hours or so. They served us a light snack, which I declined, because I snacked on a hot sandwich when I woke up from my nap.
Like I said, I was very fortunate and thankful to ride on them, I just know they would make more money if they had a better product to offer.
Oh and by the way, a funny fact, even though the seats in first recline all the way, my feet still hit the end, so I could not fully extend my legs. And I stand exactly 72 inches tall. But in business, since theres no stop by your feet, you could essentially stretch out a much as you like.
