As a loyal Continental flyer I have to commend United/Ted on its E+ option. As a Houston based traveler, I have flown Continental and unfortunately Southwest for many years. This Thanksgiving however, I went to Miami out of Denver after staying over in the city for a few days before that trip. I flew CO to Denver, but I had purchased roundtrip tickets on United/Ted to Miami from DEN because of an attractive fare.
I was excited to try a new airline. Living in Houston makes it difficult for me to try other airlines. I travel often, but usually in coach. I never realized how tight coach is on Continental until I flew E+ on United. The ticket that I purchased was in regular economy, but upon arrival to the gate in Denver the agent announced that United was selling E+ seats for a reasonable fee of $44.00. So, instead of flying on this Ted A-320 in the back end, I was upgraded to E+.
I have to say that this section is wonderful. I talked with a loyal United flyer and she explained to me how great it is to have this section. I really appreciated the extra legroom and it made all the difference. Although Continental may offer free food on some flights in economy, I really would prefer the option of an E+ section. I also have to say I enjoyed the service from Ted/United which included a free movie, buy-on-board, channel 9 and XM radio. It was a pleasant experience and I will fly United again even though I live in Houston.
While Continental is a decent airline, there is nothing like E+ and United's/Ted's service. In my opinion, is easily comparable to what I receive on CO and it easily surpasses the few experiences I have had on SW.
I just want to say great job United and I think you have a wonderful thing going with E+ and I wish Continental would offer such a product.
I just purchased a ticket to Vietnam in Business for next year on United because I was so impressed. Hopefully my aircraft will have the new seats. Thanks again and I hope to see United and E+ in the air for years to come!
