I flew the new BNE-LAX routes return on the UA283/284 service in the past fortnight with my partner, in economy on a Virgin redemption booking.
Both flights were relatively empty (approx 70 pax on the Dreamliner) and we each had a row to ourselves.
Service could not be faulted. Check in experience was faultless. United however wouldn’t honour Virgin gold status extra bag for check-in (Which the Virgin website claims is a benefit for gold members travelling on United flights).
Seats included USB charging and wifi. Free wifi was limited to iMessage/Whatsapp texting.
Far superior to my Qantas experience. Will definitely give them a try again.
I kind of feel like any flight that underbooked will have good service. That's almost covid-era loads.
