If you did United on the 787-10, the economy seat/offering would be miles above the high-dense domestic economy 777.

I'm delighted you did this. Not nearly enough economy reviews out there. Thank you.

Its interesting to see the difference between planes AND airlines. Marc in the middle seat of an old 777 with 3-4-3 seating and Nicky in the window seat of a new A330-900 neo 2-4-2 seating is a huge difference. Service on Delta is always good and due to location, what I fly. Great comparison - still feeling bad for Marc - I hate the middle seat.

Surprised that American offers complimentary meals in economy on a domestic flight. Though that could be just a transcon thing. For me this shows how much low-cost carriers have influenced the competition everywhere.

Thank you for making a “Basic Economy” review since that is all I fly in! Being in Minneapolis, Delta is king and, from the looks of it, I have been spoiled. I fly MSP-AMS annually and it’s either Delta or KLM and both offer excellent basic economy experiences.

Marc is such a great addition to the crew! Love the work, boys; thank you all!

[PokhrajRoy.]

It’s always such fun when there’s a cabin review! Nicky’s fun energy and Liam saying “Pluffy” makes. Idk what Marc’s signature move is yet.

Love additions like popping the countries up when mentoning global entry. Love that y'all try to improve the edit everytime I've watched a cabin review.

I would have done the United flight on the 757-200 and the Delta on the 767-300er as those are what the respective airlines use on most New York to Los Angeles routes, Delta definitely got an advantage with the a330neo which isn’t used on that route too often, with united getting a disadvantage from the densely configured 777, still great video as always though

[rachelmcdonald]

glad to see nick having to travel coach, economy, but he still got his favorite airline delta for his review

[jimbo]

Liam is pluffyless. I love this sort of thing. Helps me as a travel agent to sell these products.

The thing about Delta and United is that they are almost always fully booked on these domestic flights. Every time I book American, there's just a ton of empty seats for me to have additional space! But of course, Delta among the 3 has the best on the ground, In-flight and service recovery services.

11:00 Last time I checked Delta does not have complimentary alcohol in Main Cabin… need Comfort+ for that.

[mileshatton]

Love these videos but they really aren't comparisons since the cabin products are from different eras. You can't compare Delta's brand new A330-900neos to an aged out United 777. I feel like these videos would be more informative if you did head to head comparisons with seats from the same era (e.g. new Delta vs new American vs new United). I'm sure anyone using TPG probably takes aircraft type into account when booking travel anyway!

[EthanPham]

I have missed you guys! I love it whenever I see that you guys posted a new video!

[redcomusic]

Well if we're talking transcon Economy (from carriers with premium cabins), gotta include jetBlue and Alaska (to SF or San Diego).

Finally, a flight review battle! We have missed you!

[SWEDISH-IRISHAVIATION]

This is my favorite channel now even i have watched this video😂😂

[mkkm]

It's always Delta or JetBlue for me. Delta cos they either have 2-3-2 (767s) or 2-4-2 (A330s). Love the 2 seat window section to fly with a companion. JetBlue for the legroom and free WiFi.

[johnerp]

United's check in area at EWR seemed empty because that's at level 3, where their business class, first class and high tier passengers check in. For the real economy experience, we should have seen level 2.
