On March 1, an aviation enthusiast embarked on a flight from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Denver International Airport (DEN) on United Airlines, specifically to experience flying on a Boeing 777 widebody aircraft. The traveler, used to flying on narrowbody aircraft, anticipated a distinct cabin experience and mostly had expectations met.
The choice of United Airlines was driven by the opportunity to fly on a Boeing 777-200, which has been part of United's fleet since August 2000. The aircraft, registered N214UA, has accumulated approximately 74,400 flight hours since its first flight.
The traveler accessed United’s services conveniently through their website and app, selecting a budget experience and a preferred window seat. The app also facilitated baggage check-in and payment processing. Arriving early at SFO via BART, the traveler navigated through check-in, security, and boarding efficiently.
