I had a very nice experience on the Envoy class, I must say that the international flights were very enjoyable. Unfortunately the domestic flights didn't feel like first class at all, I felt like traveling Southwest.

I am traveling again, and I know that If I don't do the TR now, I wont do it at all, it happened several times before, so I just added the pictures into videos, uploaded it to YouTube and here they are. Sorry about my laziness.

My congratulations to the international crew. The service might seem standard, but the attention they gave us was amazing, sometimes I had 4 people servicing me, it was very nice, I would definitely use US international again.
I was so happy on that A333, i love it, definitely one of my favorites so far. Besides, I finaly got to fly on one of my favorite liveries...


Hope you like it (Sorry about the music, the Mac added it by itself):

nice TR. rarely see any envoy class TRs those 734 seats look worn out.

Travelling is not all about the destination. its about how you get from point A to point B and everything in between.

At MIA I had to purchase the day at the "Club America J", because US didn't have a lounge for the MIA-PHL leg which seem very odd to me...
US domestic nothing great at all, but US International, very different.

There seems to be no Star Alliance lounge for domestic flights, so if you're travelling UA or US in First or you have a non-UA/US Star Gold card, you're stuffed. Too bad you can't use the lounges that LH or LX use.

Compadre!!!

Jajaja, nice report even though I had to mute it as the song was pretty devastating to my ears hahaha... I'd kill to fly on an A330, I just have to find the opportunity!

Un abrazo!

I watched the videos again and I realized somethings:

Boeing 734

OMG I love that approach!! You pass by the shipyard and the industrial area! However, most of the time, I take the Hog Island approach. I like that water approach  Smile

Quoting RICARIZA (Thread starter):
PHL-MIA

And I've been it that club too. Im glad you got some shots from there. I've been to the US Airways clubs in B/C and F. Still haven't been to the envoy and lounge in A yet. I got a lot of great shots from there too. Also, did you notice the US Airways Philly Eagles jersey near the conference center? Its kinda cool  Smile

Really nice report...

The Envoy service on the international sector looks really good... You took some nice pictures and in this instance photo's say a thousand words!

As a poorper, I am only use to being in the rear cabin US on their TransAtlantic flights, and never had a complaint!

On a side note, do you get any funny looks or any one say anything from people taking photos of your food and cabin in flight? I never have the balls to do it!

Hah! When I flew FL, I took pictures of the IF snack. The guy behind me had a vodka and coke and he was commenting on every single pic I took. He was very grumpy lol

I'm glad you had great service over the pond...thanks for choosing US. I agree the A333 envoy seats are amazing!! my friends, wife, and myself got lucky and got upgraded when we nonrevved to CDG in January...we even got into row 1 with the full lie flight seats. The A333 crews are top notch!!


Ok, wait for the RJ to pass, cleared to push tail south Mike, and you're cleared to spin #2 in the push.
